It’s a small price for your peace of mind.

THIS is why our Paws from Paradise program is so important! These pups spent months and months waiting on their FURever homes on St. Croix, but LOOK at all of the dogs who found their FURever loves with our partner shelter Pet Alliance! It took less than two weeks!

We send about two cargo shipments of dogs off of St. Croix each month! The flights can cost us anywhere from $2500-$5000 a flight! If you would like to help support this life saving and life-changing program, please click the link below!
