20,000 bowls of donations in 2023
See below to find out more about the shelters.
Every year the TTSPCA provides temporary shelter for many thousands of homeless, unwanted and abused dogs and cats. Increased demand for our services over recent years, coupled with the increasing cost of food, medicine, veterinarian services and kennel staff has made serious inroads into the financial resources of our Society.
We are not a Government funded NGO so the TTSPCA relies on YOUR help to make a difference in our efforts. If you care for the helpless animals in our country, but cannot give of your time as a volunteer or even adopt a pet, donations of food can help the shelter tremendously.
About Us | TTSPCA – Trinidad & Tobago Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
The Tobago Branch of the TTSPCA was founded in 1968. We are a privately run, non-profit NGO whose main aim is to prevent cruelty to animals. We are dedicated to the re-homing of stray, rescued and unwanted animals as well as attempting to locate owners of lost animals and educating the public on caring for animals. To accomplish this, the shelter is run by a dedicated full-time staff for daily care and maintenance while everything else is done through the support volunteers.
Funding: The existence of the Society is primarily due to legacies, grants, donations, and fund raising activities. All money received is used 100% for the care of the animals and maintenance of the facility.
Our Capacity: We currently have kennels for about 40 dogs and 10 puppies. Some of the kennels are assigned to boarding dogs, some for recovering veterinary patients, and the rest, the majority, are for dogs and puppies for adoption. The shelter also has a Cattery.
TTSPCA – Our Story

Animals Alive Trinidad and Toago
AWN is a network of volunteers within Trinidad & Tobago who joined together in 2000 to pool resources to benefit animals in their local communities.
From the start, we decided to focus on educating people about the humane treatment of animals, while promoting spaying and neutering, as a means to reduce the stray animal problem.
Although AWN does not operate a shelter, members do also assist animals in distress.
AWN is funded entirely by donations, membership subscriptions and from the proceeds of fund-raising events organised by members and supporters. Donate today!
Animal Welfare Network – Where animals are treated with care and respect
The Animal Defence Society is located in Princes Town and has been operational for the past ten years. In this time, we have rescued and rehabilitated many stray, abused and underprivileged animals. Our goal is to drastically reduce the stray animal population, through spay/ neuter programmes, education and the review of this legislation.
We have provided veterinary care for animals from several parts of the country without any funding. These few fortunate ones would have otherwise faced intense suffering and death. At present there are over 100 animals at the Shelter. We greatly appreciate any assistance you can offer in the form of Dog Chow/ Puppy Chow.

Tardieu’s Kitten & Puppy Sanctuary is a non-profit animal sanctuary for neglected and injured animals who were abandoned or about to be euthanized.
The sanctuary is now home to over 200 animals inclusive of cats and dogs. Currently situated in Valencia, the animals live in a cage free environment amongst their rescuers, Clifford and Sharon Tardieu.
Clifford and Sharon started rescuing animals 31 years ago and continue to present day despite the challenges that come with undertaking such a task.
The sanctuary faces heart breaking emergencies daily, from litters of kittens and puppies being dumped outside the sanctuary, to animals needing help in the most compromising of places. Several of the animals also require special medical attention for a plethora of different illnesses and syndromes.
Clifford and Sharon along with the assistance of a few volunteers have been working really hard to help these animals and give them the best care possible.
The sanctuary can only continue to rescue more animals with your help. Any donation, no matter how small, would go a long way to helping Clifford and Sharon continue their vital work, serving the animals of Trinidad and Tobago.
Please visit the sanctuary’s social media pages to see what they are up to on a daily basis.
