Animal Care Cent of St John

Animal shelter in St John, VI

The Animal Care Center of St. John, Inc. (ACC) is a non-profit (501 (c) (3) ) organization whose mission is to provide for the humane treatment of animals on St. John and the promotion of their health and welfare. The Center is dedicated to providing a "safe haven" for abandoned and surrendered animals where proper medical treatment and high quality care will be dispersed by caring and trained
professionals, as well as, volunteers. It is a primary goal of the ACC to reunite lost animals with their owners and place animals, who have received our services, in acceptable homes through our adoption program. Our further goal is to control feral cat population utilizing a Trap Neuter Release Program ultimately returning feral felines into designated healthy environments at feeding stations across the island. We seek to increase visibility, awareness, and support within our community for programs to meet of the ever-changing needs of our animal population and educating the people of our community, particularly the children, as to the responsibilities of pet ownership, proper treatment and care for pets, and the need to develop other programs to create a healthier environment for all of the animals of St. John.

2. Show them the type of animal they are interested in adopting. (cat, kitten, puppy or dog)

3. Once they have a specific animal in mind, bring them into the office, with that animal, close the door and allow them some get acquainted time away from other animals. Be sure to stay in the room with them and answer any questions about the animal. Please make the animal sound good---play up the positives, but if it has a particular character flaw do not lie or deny that. Be honest and if you are not familiar with the particular animal say so.
