Animal Services
For the last 50 years, the St Croix Animal Welfare center has been the only open admission shelter on the island of St. Croix. We never turn any animal away. Every year, 2000-3000 animals, either strays or lost pets are brought into our shelter. Please click on the following links for more information on how to find your missing pet, report or bring in a stray, how to surrender your pet and the status of animal control in the territory.
