The Island of St. Croix is the home of many wonderful but homeless pets. We often work with a caring group of people in a venture called "Pets from Paradise" to offer these little island pups a chance they otherwise would not have had.
Pets From Paradise rescues these little cast offs who would otherwise never have lived to enjoy the love of a human family or to know what it really means to be loved and cherished. They are spayed and neutered prior to being sent to their new homes or to rescues in the United States.
Maybe you already have a pet or two at home or are otherwise not in a position to take in a dog or cat as a rescued pet. But you CAN still help...and enjoy a nice vacation at the same time.
How, you may ask?
Well, are you going to be vacationing on this lovely island? You can help one of these little ones (referred to as "Crucian Critters" or "Coconut Retrievers") make their way to loving homes in the U.S. simply by offering to ferry one of them home to the States on your return home in a carrier provided by Pets from Paradise. Their foster home or sponsor will meet you at the airport to take your little charge to their new home. What a great way to cap off a lovely vacation....don't you think?
