Take back more than a souvenir…
Pets from Paradise needs travelers to help transfer St. Croix pets to our partner shelters and rescue groups on the mainland. St. Croix faces the challenge of a limited full-time resident population. There are simply not enough people who are full-time residents on this island to adopt the number of pets that arrive at our animal shelter.
Help us by becoming a travel partner for a St. Croix animal on his or her way to a home at one of our partner shelters in the U.S. mainland.
• Contact St. Croix AWC
• AWC depends on travelers and sponsors to pay for the pet’s ticket
• Provide your return flight information and final destination
• Our staff will make reservations with the partner shelter
• Our staff will meet you at the St. Croix airport with the pet
• Partner shelter’s staff will meet you at the final destination airport
