The Shelter

The Bonaire Animal Shelter is a refuge for cats and dogs until they are adopted by their new owners.

The Bonaire Animal Shelter also provides a boarding place for cats and dogs and started a gift shop on the premises to help raise money to sustain the shelter.

Refuge for cats and dogs

Bonaire Animal Shelter is a refuge for dogs and cats that can no longer be cared for by their owners, have been abandoned, or were born in the wild and brought to us by concerned citizens and tourists.
The shelter can house 60 adult dogs and 35 adult cats, 10 puppy’s and 10 kittens.
Our staff and volunteers take very good care of these animals. All animals are dewormed, vaccinated, neutered or castrated and if necessary treated for any illnesses. Then they wait for a new home.

Boarding Place

Bonaire Animal Shelter provides a boarding place for the cats and dogs of Bonaire. The boarding kennel caters to approximately 8 to 10 dogs and 4 cats.
Each boarding animal must be fully vaccinated before entering the Bonaire Boarding Kennel. Proof of vaccinations is mandatory in order to protect your pet, as well as the other animals living in the facility. We require dogs to be flea/tick treated with a product such as Frontline, Nexgard or other long lasting product prior to arrival, otherwise, they are to be treated upon arrival.
