Bon Bini!
We are Animal Shelter Bonaire. Since 1983, we have dedicated ourselves every day to helping dogs and cats in need. With a deep love for animals, we not only provide shelter and care but also actively work on long-term solutions such as sterilization and education.
A second chance
At Animal Shelter Bonaire, it’s all about wagging tails, purring cats, and second chances. We take in dogs and cats who have nowhere else to go and give them the care and love they deserve. But our work goes beyond sheltering. Through our free sterilization program, we help prevent overpopulation, and through outreach and education, we work toward a future where all animals on Bonaire receive the care they need.
All of this is made possible by a small team and an incredible group of volunteers who dedicate themselves to our animals every day. Curious about what we do and how you can help?
