We are currently seeking flight escorts for seven puppies that have confirmed placements stateside. We are looking for travelers flying to Providence, Hartford, or Boston.
Timing is critical, as the puppies are growing quickly and need to fly while they are still small enough to travel in the cabin as carry-on. Local adoptions have been slow, so these flights are currently their best opportunity to reach their forever homes and avoid spending the summer in a kennel.
The Animal Care Center provides all necessary supplies for travel, and there is no cost to the escort.
If you are able to help, please contact us at info@stjacc.org, message our Facebook page, or call us at 340-774-1625.

I’m flying next Tuesday, with a layover in Charlotte
Calling all potential escorts we have 7 pups that we are trying to get up the New England!!! We have a partner shelter willing to help with this group, its just we need to get them there ASAP before they are two big to go carry on!!!!
If you are flying to Hartford, Providence, or Boston and can potentially help escort a puppy or two please email us at info@stjacc.org, or PM our Facebook page.
We take care of all the logistics for you, there is no cost on your end, and we provide everything needed for travel.
Have several people flying to boston on Thursday, Saturday and Monday.
I wish I was down there to bring one up!!
I have always been very willing to help but we fly non stop from STT to ATL - normally September and November - if this helps get some of these deserving fur babies to good homes I am happy to help.
Flying to Boston? YOU could be a HERO! 🏆
We are here until sat and would be more than willing to help. !
Monica, I was going to tag you but I forgot that you moved. Haha
Any small dogs to adopt here on island
what beautiful babies!!
Leaving Stj on Thursday to Boston !
Please help if you can!! The ACC is doing great things and needs our help!
This is crazy. We’re already dealing with surrenders and abandoned dogs at an ALARMING rate. Dogs are being put to death daily in New England because there aren’t enough homes and let’s not talk about the cost to feed them. I won’t even get started that they’re Pit mix if not full… and apartments won’t take them as a pet. You don’t even know the life you’re giving this dog… and I’ll bet 1/2 of these dogs end up in a kill shelter. Everyone wants a dog, to move and be irresponsible on vacation - you need to find homes for them in St. John. We’re already drowning here.
Say hello to Doug!!!! Doug who also goes by his street name "Spike" is a wonderful little 16 pound dog. He has become very popular at the shelter and on his walks.
Doug does well with other dogs, does not mind being around cats, and is great on the leash. He also enjoys a good swim at the beach followed by a nice sand treatment!!
Doug is heart worm positive and has started his pre treatment, and will be getting neutered soon.
We are hoping to find a wonderful home for him ASAP!
For more information on this wonderful little guy you can email us at info@stjacc.org or PM our Facebook page for more information.
Awww!! I hope Doug finds the best home. He looks very much like my Isla - also a daughter of the OG Spike!! Surely this can’t be him. Isla is 11 now and white faced
Is he small enough to fly under the seat? I'm sure we could tag him once he is negative, if someone would transport to Boston or Hartford.
Doug’s fluffiness reminds me of my Georgie girl (ACC alum)! Wish I could bring him home to NJ!
Would love to take Doug back to New York We will be visiting in August
I hope Doug finds the best home ever! 🤞🫰
He is adorable!
I walked with Doug a few weeks ago and he was very sweet and well behaved!
I’ve been seeing Doug on his walks & he is super cute!!
what a cutie! He may be a distant cousin of our ACC girl Coconut, whose mama was black like Doug/Spike!
Wait, I love you Doug!!! “His street name” has me lol!!!
He looks like our dog ACC dog Riley ( formally known as Stede Bonet) Are they related?
Hi! He is a cutie pie! I love him. I sent you a message ❤️😊
Sweet baby. I hope treatment goes well 💚
I’m interested
