About

Founded in 1983, Animal Shelter Bonaire is a charity based in Kralendijk, Caribbean Netherlands working on animal welfare.

Animal Shelter Bonaire is a non-profit animal shelter on the island of Bonaire, founded in 1983. It takes in homeless and unwanted dogs and cats, provides medical care, food and housing until they are rehomed, and runs a free sterilization program to reduce animal overpopulation. It also offers a paid boarding service for pets and education on animal welfare and responsible pet ownership. The shelter receives a small government subsidy under a care contract with the Openbaar Lichaam Bonaire but relies mainly on donations of money and goods. It has applied for ANBI public-benefit status, which was pending at the time of the source.
