Antigua & Barbuda Humane Society

Antigua & Barbuda Humane Society, established in 1991, is an animal welfare organization in Antigua and Barbuda through the prevention of cruelty and the protection of animals.

In 2004, the Humane Society submitted a bill to Government for a system of dog identification and registration. The Dog Registration and Control Act was finally enacted in 2006 and it is now mandatory that all dogs over the age of 6 months be microchipped and registered, and wear a dog tag. Registration fees are dramatically reduced for spayed/neutered dogs. The Act also includes provisions for the humane care and control of dogs, including the provision that all dogs be on their owners’ property or under the direct control of their owners at all times

It is possible to visit their facilities during their hours of operation: Monday to Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and most public holidays.
