The work of the Animal Welfare Association - Rescue/Education is the rescue and rehabilitation of abandoned domestic animals. They are establishing a permanent on-site spay/neuter clinic and also an education centre to provide free environmental education to local children. This project is based outside of Antigua in the rural area, at a 30 minutes distance by bus.

Volunteers can help with anything from building dog-runs or putting up fences to bathing, brushing, or walking dogs, providing some human company for both the dogs and the cats, or helping out with our educational programs. They always need logistical support for their spay/neuter and rabies vaccination clinics, the garage sales and other fund-raising events.

You will gain the satisfaction of doing something extremely worthwhile to help give a better life to animals in a country where they are at the bottom of the list. Volunteers will also gain a first-hand insight into the problems affecting animals in a country where some of the humans are worse off than a household pet in more affluent countries
