WE NEED YOU

We’ve come a long way, but there’s more to do

In January 2020, Ocean Acres Animal Sanctuary took over a failing animal charity. We started with 45 dogs and 69 cats, we now have over 200 animals. We respond daily to cries for help, dealing with heartbreaking situations, providing emergency care and solutions for people and their pets in dire need. We perform daily miracles and work tirelessly to educate and sensitise communities to the importance of animal welfare. Read About Us…

Community Outreach Program

Helping people live with and understand their animals better by providing food, medication, vet care, training, support and advice.

β€œ Watching the love and light return to the eyes of the animals we rescue is the greatest reward. We want more and more people to feel that connection and be inspired by it. That is what Ocean Acres is all about.”

Barbados needs Ocean Acres just as much as the dogs and cats do. The number of stray dogs and feral cats is endemic, and it’s a societal issue. We aim to shed light on the darker aspects of the island’s culture and lead by example.

Ocean Acres is more than just a dog and cat shelter. When people come to visit, they never want to leave. Everyone stays longer than they intend to. Everyone says it has a special magic. Ocean Acres has already changed lives. It will continue to. We will work tirelessly to bring love and compassion, care and kindness into everything we do. We will always try just a little bit more to save a life. We will empathise and share. We will make everything around us as beautiful as it can be and we will make a difference, by being the difference. And we will always do everything we can to spread this far and wide into the community.
