The Humane Society of the BVI is thrilled to celebrate our 50th anniversary this year along with the grand opening of our brand-new shelter this summer—a fresh start for the animals who need it most.

Founded in 1975, we remain the only animal shelter in the British Virgin Islands, providing a safe haven for abandoned, unwanted, and sometimes mistreated dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, and other little pets.

RECENTLY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION:

WE MOVED IN!

Our dream for a state-of-the-art animal shelter is becoming a reality! With larger kennels, dedicated spaces for cats, a veterinary clinic, and even a Bird Watch Tower, our new facility is designed to provide comfort and safety for the animals of the BVI. Made possible entirely through community support and generous donations, this $800,000 project symbolizes hope and compassion for all creatures in need.

We are thrilled to announce that the big move took place in September with a Grand Opning on 13 September 2025 to welcome the community to this incredible new space.
