HELP THE DOGS AND CATS OF THE BVI

It’s a well-known fact that the many of the Tourists that visit our islands are Animal Lovers. You might want to help the stray dogs and cats on Tortola, but you don't know how. We at the Humane Society can use all the help we can get for our animal shelter!

The BVI Humane Society is an entirely non-profit and non-government funded organization, founded by members of the community in 1975. After the devastating hurricanes last year, the shelter was left with just the 4 walls that framed it. Renovations, a new health plan and an overfull shelter with abandoned pets have cut drastically in our finances.
Still in the process of rebuilding, the Animal Shelter needs our help! By leaving your towel behind or bringing pet supplies from the USA, you can help to aid in the recovery of the BVI, and help keep those tails wagging!

BRING A TOWEL, DONATE A TOWEL

It’s simple: Bring your beach towels with you, and leave them behind when you go home. Most charter companies collect the towels for us and we will get it from them. You also can drop it of at our shelter and we have a wooden green box outside in case we are already closed or call us 494-9008 for pick-up.

The towels will be used for washing, bathing, sleeping and snuggling.

BRING PET SUPPLIES IN YOUR LUGGAGE

CLICK HERE FOR OUR WISH LIST:

Pet supplies are much cheaper in the USA, so maybe you can bring a few items with you in your luggage for the Puppies, Kittens, Dogs and Cats of the Animal Shelter. Anything is welcome!

We can really use any kind of TICK & FLEA MEDICATION, which you can find on our Amazon Wish List, but also would love to receive small dog or cat toys, treats, shampoo, collars, leashes, Heartguard, etc.

PUPPY OR KITTEN ESCORT NEEDED

Picture
The Humane Society receives lots of stray puppies and kittens that need a forever home. Some will get adopted on island, but most will be fostered in volunteer’s homes until they can fly to the United States. There they will have a better chance of finding a good home.


Together with PAW BVI, we organize the fostering, the medical attention the puppies need (vaccination, deworming etc.) and the transport to the US.


If you fly to Miami or Ft. Lauderdale or Boston and would help with bringing a pup or ketten with you as carry-on on your flight, then we can arrange that together with PAW BVI. Any extra cost of your flight will be paid for and we will arrange all other things like paperwork, carry-on bag, food, puppy pads and – very important – collection at the airport by another Animal Shelter on your arrival.

If you fly to other cities in the US and want to bring a pup with you, please let us know and we can find out what is possible.
