The Forgotten: The Dogs and Cats of Aruba







The Forgotten: #Aruba has a problem with abandoned pets. They all have a sadness in their eyes, scanning the faces of the people they encounter as if pleading for help. Bowls of water placed in the shade serve as reminders of their presence, and tourists feed them from their coolers and takeout bags.
The black and white photos of the dog on the retaining wall are from an abandoned soccer field, and the dog sleeping in the shade is the Alto Vista Chapel.

Organizations like the Animal Relief Foundation help tourists transport these abandoned animals to loving homes abroad: https://arf-aruba.com/
