We are still about $1,000 short covering Chip's cargo flight off island. He has a great opportunity ahead of him to find his forever home in New York.
Chip has come such a long way, from feral street dog who we caught in a trap, to a volunteer favorite who is friends with everyone.
He is just a bit to big to travel carry on so this is his one shot to get stateside before the temperatures get to hot.
Any help with getting Chips stateside is greatly appreciated, he deserves a nice spot on the couch beside his new family. We are hoping to fly him out this time next week!

Why can't he stay on island? It seems that money could go a long way to help spay and neuter other animals. Just asking not trying to be rude. What am I missing?
Donated!!! What a great opportunity for Chip! He was so sweet to walk!
Donated. Happy life, sweet boy. 🐾
Donated! Hoping you get to NY soon, Chip!
Yay!! I absolutely loved walking chip!! I’m so happy for him 🐶❤️
Let’s hope after this you have what is needed for Chip- yay!!!

Donated! Rooting for you, Chip! 💜

The ACC has been very fortunate to have placed 5 large breed dogs stateside to start of 2025. To get these dogs stateside is a 2 day journey from St. Thomas, to Miami, then onto their final destination. Its also costs anywhere from $1200-$1600 to get them there. These dogs are too big to travel carry on with escorts, so we have to book them cargo. As of yesterday we flew one more dog out, and and have 2 more waiting to go!
The ACC is hoping to raise another $4,500 to get these next few dogs to their forever homes. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.
You can follow the donation link for our PayPal account, checks can be mailed to PO Box 429 St. John VI 00830, or CC donations can be taken over the phone 340 774 1625.

Cookie, Tricky, Lika, Cinnabun, Jerry, and soon to be Chip and Cici thank you for your support and their wonderful new families. Without these donations this would not be possible. Thank to all our partner shelters and adopters for giving these dogs a second chance at life!
We also want to also thank the great cargo staff with American Airlines for the wonderful care of our ACC dogs!
If you need airport crates for large dogs let me know!
Any chance there is a Venmo?

The shelter is looking for 3-4 volunteer dog walkers this coming Saturday morning at 830am. We are short staffed and could really use the help getting the dogs out for their walks as staff gets the kennels cleaned.
If you are interested in helping out this Saturday 3/29 at 830am please PM our page or email us at info@stjacc.org. We have a great group of dogs that love going out with volunteers.
Vince Early will be there
