Rescuing and re-homing abused and abandoned dogs and cats in Barbados.
In December 2019, Ocean Acres Animal Sanctuary took over an existing animal charity who could no longer operate. We started with the responsibility of 45 dogs and 69 cats (the amount is increasing weekly). We stepped in to save the animals; providing food, veterinary care and ongoing maintenance. With limited resources and space, we urgently need to find homes for these animals and urgently need donations, foster homes and volunteers to help us. Read About Us…

“ Watching the love and light return to the eyes of the animals we rescue is the greatest reward. We want more and more people to feel that connection and be inspired by it. That is what Ocean Acres is all about.”
Barbados and its people need Ocean Acres just as much as the dogs and cats do. The number of stray dogs and feral cats is endemic, and it’s a societal issue. We aim to shed light on the darker aspects of the country’s culture and lead by example.
Ocean Acres is more than just a dog and cat shelter. When people come to visit, they never want to leave. Everyone stays longer than they intend to. Everyone says it has a special magic. Ocean Acres has already changed lives. It will continue to. We will work tirelessly to bring love and compassion, care and kindness into everything we do. We will always try just a little bit more to save a life. We will empathise and share. We will make everything around us as beautiful as it can be and we will make a difference, by being the difference. And we will always do everything we can to spread this far and wide into the community.
