‼️Exciting News! Free Community Spay & Neuter for Your Cat!🐾

This holiday season, St. Nicholas Animal Rescue started a campaign to Spay & Neuter 100 animals before the end of January to help reduce the number of homeless animals in our community.

Why Spay & Neuter?

Spaying and neutering your cat is one of the most loving and responsible things you can do for your pet and our community.

Reduces Overpopulation: Unwanted litters lead to overcrowded shelters and sadly, many homeless animals.

Improves Your Cat’s Health: Spaying and neutering helps prevent certain cancers, reduces roaming behavior, and can make your cat happier and healthier.

Reduces Aggression: Neutered males are less likely to roam, fight, and spray.

How to Participate:

To be eligible for our FREE Community spay/neuter campaign this January, your cat must:

* Be in good health
* Be at least 6 months old
* Not be pregnant

You must demonstrate a need for financial assistance in order to book an appointment for free.
Limited Spots Available!

Our campaign will run on the following dates:

Friday, January 24th
Wednesday, January 29th
Friday, January 31st

(Drop off 8am-10am - All pets must be dropped off in secure pet approved carriers)

Book your appointment today by calling or texting us at 245-0001.

Let’s work together to create a more compassionate and responsible Dominica for all animals

Do you remember Princess Abby? 🐾 We have an update on this brave girl. She was rescued with heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, and Babesia—all conditions requiring ongoing, costly treatment.

Abby is still fighting, and despite everything, she remains the sweetest soul. ❤️ She’s just one of many patients at St. Nicholas Animal Rescue (SNAR) who need your help.

Your donations make life-saving treatments like hers possible. Please consider donating to support Abby and her friends. Every contribution makes a difference. 🙏 Thank you so much!

🐾 Little Sammy Found His Forever Home! 🐾

We couldn’t be happier to share that Sammy, one of two brothers brought to the Humane Society Broward by compassionate students, has been adopted! Just look at how he snuggles into the arms of his new owner—pure love. 🥰

We wish Sammy and his new family all the happiness in the world. ❤️

This is a beautiful reminder of how being a Flight Angel can truly change lives. Sammy’s journey to safety and love wouldn’t have been possible without the kindness of those who help transport animals in need.

Starting February 15th, there will be a direct flight to New York, where we have partner shelters ready to give animals like Sammy a second chance. We also work with shelters in Chicago and Miami.

Please consider becoming a Flight Angel and making a life-saving impact. Traveling can save lives—yours might be the flight that brings hope to another Sammy. ✈️🐕

✨Amelia’s pups are finally safe! ✨

Their journey to safety wasn’t easy, but it was possible thanks to a few incredibly kindhearted people. 💕

First, a shelter in San Francisco canceled last minute. Then, we couldn’t find flight angels. On the second try, a wonderful family volunteered—only for the flight to be canceled again.

But and our flight angel family never gave up. Their determination made all the difference, and now these little souls are finally in Miami, enjoying the care and love of their foster family. 🐾

Soon, we hope they’ll find their forever homes through . 🏡

A huge thank you to everyone who helped along the way. These pups deserve all the love in the world, and because of you, they’re one step closer to finding it. 💖

Remember Amelia? She survived unimaginable abuse in illegal dogfights, was abandoned while pregnant, and yet her story turned into one of hope. Her puppies’ are finally safe. Their journey wasn’t easy—our first shelter fell through, the amazing team at stepped up. Even then, we faced a new challenge: finding a Flight Angel to get them to Miami.

Today, thanks to a kind-hearted family and the incredible (👉our story about Raymond), these little fighters are on their way to , where they’ll start their search for loving forever homes. 💕

Every success like this gives us a chance to better care for our sick animals in desperate need. But we can’t do it alone. With 200 animals to feed, causing $13,000 in dog food costs every month, and a new shelter to build, your support is crucial.

Every donation—big or small—makes a difference. Help us save more lives. Link in bio to donate. 🐾❤️

Faith's Fight for Life: A Call to Action

We found her wandering, a ghost of a dog. Skin stretched taut over bones, eyes hollow with despair, Faith is a walking embodiment of suffering. Emaciated, dehydrated, and on the brink of death, she is a heartbreaking testament to the cruelty some humans inflict on the innocent.

But then, a flicker of hope. Despite so many challenges we face every single day at SNAR, we gently scooped her up, with our hearts aching with the weight of her suffering, and brought her to safety.

Now, Faith clings to life. Every breath is a victory, every meal a miracle. But the road to recovery is long and arduous. She requires specialized nutrition to rebuild her depleted body, expensive medications to combat the infections that have taken hold, and constant monitoring to ensure she doesn't slip away.

The weight of her care rests heavily on the shoulders of SNAR, a shelter already struggling and overflowing with the needs of countless other abandoned animals. Our resources are stretched thin, their funds dwindling.

But Faith deserves a chance.

She deserves to feel the warmth of the sun on her fur, the joy of a gentle pat, the love of a loving family. But without your help, that dream may remain forever out of reach.

Please, open your heart. Every contribution, no matter how small, will bring Faith closer to the life she deserves.

On the First Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 🎁 A chance to end suffering!

At St. Nicholas Animal Rescue we launched our „12 Days of Christmas Spay & Neuter campaign“! 🎄 Throughout the festive season, we’re aiming to prevent suffering and overpopulation by providing spay and neuter surgeries for 100 animals in need.

On the Second Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...** 🐾 Two healthier futures!

By supporting our campaign with a $100 USD donation, you can sponsor a spay or neuter surgery, helping us break the cycle of unwanted litters and reduce the suffering of homeless animals in Dominica.

On the Third Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 🎁 Three forever homes!

Let’s work together to create a kinder, more compassionate Dominica for all creatures great and small.

Every day during the „12 Days of Christmas Spay & Neuter campaign“, we’ll share updates on our progress and the impact of your generous support.

Join us in spreading holiday cheer and giving the gift of a brighter future this season to all vulnerable animals in Dominica.

🎄✨ This Christmas, we are grateful for Lizzy’s journey. Once a tiny, fragile stray puppy without a future, Lizzy now has a new chance at life thanks to our wonderful vet student and sea angel Marius. 🐾💙

Marius didn’t just lend his expertise—he lent his heart, traveling across oceans (literally, by ferry!) from St. Lucia to Toronto to make sure Lizzy could find her forever home. 🌊✈️

This season is all about hope, love, and second chances, and Lizzy and Raymond are a living reminder of what’s possible when we come together for those who need us most. ❤️🐶

To our supporters, volunteers, and angels like Marius: thank you for making these miracles happen. Lizzy’s brighter future is your Christmas gift 🎁🎅

Big day for 6 of our precious pups! 🐾 Today, 3 are heading off to new beginnings, and another 3 will follow on Sunday. ✈️ Destinations? Humane Society Naples FL, San Francisco, and Toronto, Canada! 🌎💛

The logistics have been crazy (let’s just say spreadsheets and sleepless nights 😅), but by the end of this week, 6 little lives will have brighter futures. 🐶💖 Saving lives isn’t easy, but it’s always worth it.

Thank you to everyone who helps make moments like this possible! 🙏 ”

The true essence of community lies in our ability to support one another during difficult times. Yesterday, the St. Nicholas University veterinary students and volunteer faculty members embodied this spirit in the most beautiful way.

These aspiring veterinarians, volunteered their time to assist an owner who was facing a challenging period. With compassion and dedication, they provided much-needed care and attention to the horses, bringing smiles to the faces of both the animals and the owner.

This act of kindness is a testament to the power of community and the importance of lending a helping hand when someone needs it most. It reminds us that we are stronger together and that even the smallest act of compassion can make a world of difference.

Let's continue to inspire and uplift each other. Let's build a community where compassion and support thrive.

Dear Friends,
Our hearts are heavy. We must leave our premises, and the construction of our emergency shelter has come to a halt due to the lack of funding. But we refuse to give up. We have 200 precious souls depending on us—like Happy, who survived poisoning, and Raymond, who lost a leg. They are not just animals; they are beings who crave love and cuddles. At SNAR, we see them, feed them, and know how loving they are. They need a soul to care for them, and this is why we won’t give up.
If you believe these dogs and cats deserve a chance, please donate at our website. Together, we can make a difference 🐾❤️

Our October 31st deadline to move the dogs from St. Nicholas Animal Rescue has come and gone, and they’re still waiting for a safe place to call home. Despite all our efforts, we’ve been delayed—no access road to the new site, no funds to finish building. These dogs have nowhere else to go. We need our community now more than ever. Every donation, every piece of material, every hour volunteered will bring us closer to rescuing them from this crisis. Please, help us give them the shelter they desperately need. 🆘💔

💚💜🙏Huge gratitude to J. Astaphan for their incredible generosity and support! 🙏🏽 They’ve not only given us a 15% discount on construction materials but also donated a water tank and are delivering everything with a 2-week grace period to pay. This gives us time to gather the donations needed to cover the costs. It’s moments like these that remind us of the power of community. ❤️ Every little bit helps—if you can, please support us as we work towards setting up an emergency shelter. Together, we can make it happen! 🙏💜💚

We - the only animal rescue and shelter - must vacate our premises by October 31st, leaving 200 dogs and 43 cats without a safe haven. The Kalinago community has generously offered a parcel of land, but the site lacks essential infrastructure. We urgently need to construct a temporary shelter within the next 20 days, including building an access road, erecting secure fences, and setting up kennels, a generator, and a water tank. Please visit our website www.snar-dm.com and donate to help us save these animals.

🐾 Rescue Alert! 🐾
SNAR saved three adorable puppies found abandoned in the middle of the road. Sadly, two of them are battling parvo, a preventable virus that can be deadly. This is a heartfelt plea to all pet owners: please vaccinate your dogs. Vaccination can easily prevent the parvo virus and save lives. Let’s not turn a blind eye when animals are suffering.
What would you have done if you had found these puppies on the road? 🐶❤️

🌟 Meet Our Heroes: Nusica and our two amazing foster families in Florida🌟
We are beyond grateful for our incredible Rescue Manager, Nusica, and our amazing foster families. Nusica was our very first Flight Angel, she brought two of our babies to safety🐾✈️
Felice and Christopher, the loving couple who adopted Dolly and gave her the most wonderful home, are now fostering our sweet little Rowlf (yes, named after the Muppet’s Show character). Their kindness and dedication are truly inspiring. ❤️🏡
The same applies to Amanda and her amazing family, who recently adopted our sweet little Granola. She opened her loving home to foster Toto (named after the dog in Wizard of Oz) until the hurricane is over and they can go to the Humane Society of Broward. We are beyond thankful to these two families for their incredible support and love🌟🏠
All the paperwork went smoothly🌈We hope to have more Flight Angels soon! If you’re traveling to the US and willing to bring one of our babies to a loving home, please DM us or email us at [email protected]. Let’s continue to make a difference together🐶✈️💕
