Welcome to the Anguilla Animal Rescue Foundation.
Adopt a warm and loving part of the Caribbean and take him or her home with you!
News (updated July 24 2010):
We have some very nice new guests who need homes:
- Harry is approximately 8 months old and has "sort of a Doberman” look! Harry loves to go on walks and is very good on a leash. He is very affectionate and friendly with people and other dogs (though is is not a cat lover) And he is potty trained. Harry will be neutered at the time of adoption. (July 24)
- Lisa, a black and white kitten, is a purring machine, very friendly and loves to play. The minute you pick her up she wants to cuddle. A great little kitten! (July 24)
- Shelia. Do you want a lap dog? - Shelia fits the bill - she just wants to be loved and those big brown eyes begging to be picked up and held are impossible to ignore. Belly rubs are most appreciated. She is a beautiful female who appears to have some golden retriever in her –is very sociable and will be spayed as soon as she is adopted. And she is paper trained. You want this dog! You WANT this dog! (July 24)
As always, use this Available for Adoption link or then one in the navigation section to the left for more photos and information.

The population is about 12,000 and the ratio of pets to those owners wanting pets is very high. Most people who want a pet have one, but there are many animals available.
We work to accomplish our mission to promote the welfare of dogs and cats via the following actions and programs:
- Maintain a pet shelter that takes in unwanted animals.
- Provide for adoptions of healthy animals at a reasonable cost.
- Socialize incoming animals to make them adoptable.
- Educate the public in the humane treatment and care of animals. In particular, an education program that visits school children with a classroom presentation runs several times a year.
- Attempt to reduce the population of unwanted animals by providing spay and neuter surgery to new adopters and with targeted Trap, Neuter and Release (TNR) programs.
