Welcome to the St. Lucia Animal Protection Society web site. The Society is dedicated to improving the welfare of all the animals on the island of St Lucia, in the West Indies. Please use the links above and to the left to explore our site and find out how you can help us.
SHELTER
SLAPS has moved out of its premises in Bois d'Orange. While we search for a new location for the establishment of a permanent shelter, rescued animals will be rehabilitated by volunteers at their homes (see below). SLAPS land line 457-SLAPS is being transferred; in the meantime, Elaine can be reached on 71-SLAPS.
FOSTER-A-PET
SLAPS needs volunteers to foster rescued animals. If you would like to help care for rescued puppies, kittens, dogs, or cats (you can state your preference) until they are ready to be re-homed, please contact Elaine on 717-5277. Right now, we are looking for homes for two female dogs; more details below and on our Adoption page.
ADOPT-A-PET
Please check out photos of animals now available for adoption. View photos.
FLEAMARKET
Don't forget the flea market on the first Saturday of every month in the Coco Cabana parking lot (opposite The Lime), Rodney Bay. Rain or shine, the SLAPS volunteers will be there: stop by the SLAPS' table and purchase something or make a donation: all proceeds go towards the rescuing and care of animals.
LOST
A tan-coloured dog has been seen wandering around Reduit Beach near the St. Lucian Hotel. The dog is wearing a collar and leash, so is presumed to be an owned dog.

Disaster Preparedness
As we head into another hurricane season it is time to review disaster preparedness plans. It is important that animals are not forgotten in times of emergency. Ensure that you have made provision for your pets and livestock. The Humane Society of the United States website has many words of wisdom, please read our June Newsletter (JPG 430Kb) packed with useful information about including your animals in your household disaster plan.
 The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute to go to their site, http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com and click on "Fund Food for Animals" for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
