AWC staff member Stephany DeJesus and AWC pet Shorty read to elementary students as part of AWC’s participation in the 21st Century program.

Boysie
Boysie was found stray by the father of our receptionist Errolyn James. He was wondering in the neighborhood, scared, very skinny and suffering hair loss from fleas.
Boysie is not feral. He was, at some time, an owned dog. Dog abandonment is illegal in the Territory.
Neglect is the #1 problem seen by the St. Croix Animal Welfare Center, but you can help us by joining our Hearts of Hope campaign. Become a mem-ber, receive a one of a kind heart pendant designed by local artist Hope Gibson exclusively for AWC members, and raise awareness about our cause.
Please bring unwanted pets to the St. Croix Animal Welfare Center. If you lose a pet, please notify the St. Croix Animal Welfare Center.
Help us give Boysie hope for a second chance. Don’t point a finger—lend a hand. Call us 340-778-1650 or email info@stcroixawc.org.
Wonder–was trapped and brought in as a feral cat. AWC staff couldn’t believe this big loving feline was mistaken for a wild bush cat. He was put up for adoption and participated in several humane education classroom presentations. After several months at St. Croix AWC Wonder traveled via Pets from Paradise to his new home in metropolitan Washington, DC.
Below are photos of Wonder in his new home. He has a 12 year old cat sibling and a new younger cat brother named Guido that he plays with. He’s very happy and his adopter is looking forward to taking him outside for walks on his leash!


Do you have an eye for second- hand fashions? Can you help turn one man’s trash into treasurers? Do you like to clean and organize? Would you like to use your free time to help the unwanted animals of St. Croix Animal Welfare Center?
If you answered yes, to any of the above, consider becoming a volunteer at the Animal Welfare Center flea market in Richmond (one driveway east of the Richmond post office). If you can help us just a couple of hours per week anytime during operations Tuesday thru Saturday, please email our new store manager Leslie at fleamarket@stcroixawc.org.
The flea market is one of our consistent sources of revenue to benefit our pets and you can help us help them. Email Leslie today!
