The St. Croix Animal Welfare Center (AWC) has been dedicated to the rescue and care of unwanted animals since 1973.  It is the only full-service animal rescue organization on St. Croix.  Although we have made great strides in our decades of work on island, the social problem of animal neglect is still severe.   In 2011 the AWC:

 

Found homes for more than 550 pets via local adoptions and placement with stateside rescues via our Pets From Paradise Program.

 

Rescued more approximately 3,700 animals on St. Croix- a six year high

 

Sheltered, fed, and treated hundreds of animals daily, 365 days a year, 7 days a     week

 

Facilitated approximately 900 low cost spays and neuters via vouchers and    adoptions

 

 

Our theme for Fur Ball 2012 is “Perfect Pairings- Relationships That Last”.   This is fitting not only because this is Valentines Day but because it is what the St. Croix Animal Welfare Center tries to do every day with every adoption; to create a pairing that will last.  It is also what we try to do in our community; creating partnerships with businesses and individuals that we can build on year after year.  Our organization depends on love and lasting relationships.  We hope you will join us to support OUR shelter.
