Review of Humane Society of St. Thomas

I have a soft spot for needy animals. I just can't stand it of how people on this island treat their pets. Pets are part of your family, and unfortunately in St. Thomas many people see dogs and cats as a way to make money through breeding, something to torture that can't fight back or they just neglect them. This is also a very difficult housing market to convince landlords to accept pets.

So all of this means that this organization has its work cut out for them. I've volunteered here as well as fostered and adopted from these folks and it is a small group of people that do amazing things with so little.

All of the funding to do these kinds of things are through donations and a thrift store they run at the front of their campus that has been inundated with donations after the hurricanes. So if you are unable to volunteer or foster, you can support this non-profit by shopping!

If you're traveling here here consider taking a dog or cat back as check in luggage or a carry on through the pets with wings program that finds travelers going to the states where rescues have partnered with the st. Thomas humane society to find their adoptable animals forever homes. There is no cost to the traveler and the rescue will meet you at the airport to pickup the animal.

A society is judged by the way they treat their animals. St. Thomas has a long way to go but the humane society and its team of volunteers is a wonderful hope that it can get better here.
