Pets from Paradise

I may have blogged on this topic before, but with regard to this topic, once isn't enough. St Croix has a pet overpopulation problem. Rather than launch into an animal welfare debate about proper care, spay and neutering, I'm just going to inform and maybe plead a bit during the concluding paragraph.

You as a traveler can do something. Anytime you travel to St Croix, consider making the return flight as a companion in the Pets from Paradise program. Contact the St Croix animal welfare center. They will attempt to locate a partner shelter near your return destination. Either a small dog or puppy will be brought to you at the airport. You fly with the dog as carry on and Pets from Paradise picks up the fees. A representative of the partner shelter meets you at the destination airport and picks up the dog.

Think about rescuing a puppy the next time you visit St Croix. For more information visit the St Croix Animal Welfare Center at http://www.stcroixanimals.org or http://www.CrucianCritters.com (seems like they're switching websites)or call 340-778-1650.
