Humane Society of St. Thomas Clears House with Major Transport

A major transport to several stateside rescues is giving the Humane Society of St. Thomas the chance to start from the ground up, and its animals — 300-plus dogs, cats, and bunnies — a better chance of adoption.

It was only a few months ago that the organization had reached its breaking point, with pets lining just about every inch of its campus in Estate Tutu. Like many shelters on the mainland, capacity was spent and volunteers were working overtime to walk, feed and play with the animals. Just onboarded about two months ago, the Humane Society’s new Executive Director Michelle Robbins even took to social media, creating a persona for each animal — complete with backstory and vaccination history — to add to their appeal.
