We are appealing to our US friends, family, guests and followers to please complete this form. For affiliated organisation you can put PAW BVI. Thank you. ❤️❤️🐶🐶

Please fill out the form fields below to add your organization to this letter urging the CDC to reconsider and/or amend the ban on the import of all foreign dogs under the age of 6 months into the United States. Although we appreciate the support of individuals, please note that we are collecting or...

Anyone who knows us knows how passionate we are about animal rescue, particularly puppies.
CDC has introduced a new rule from August 1 which will mean no pup under 6 months can fly to US. This is going to have an absolutely devastating effect on our rescue efforts with PAW BVI.
If anyone is in a position to help es**rt a pup before then, please let us know.
We will also share a post in coming days asking our US animal loving friends to appeal to their local representatives to change this ruling.

Happy Tuesday CCC! 🐾… We are desperately in need of Puppy Pal Es**rts from all of the Caribbean Islands to the States! 🙏🏻🏝️🐶✈️🙏🏻
Being a Puppy Pal Es**rt is super fun and rewarding, it doesn’t cost you a thing, and BEST part of all- You will be Saving a Precious Furry Life in Need! 💞🐾💞…. PLEASE SHARE & MESSAGE OUR PAGE if you or someone that you know may be traveling from the Islands to the States in the near future! Thanks CCC!!! 🏝️🐶✈️🏡🐕🐾❤️

Friends- you know our happiest place is fostering puppies for PAW BVI. We have some amazing people running an ultramarathon (or three) to raise funds towards our vet bills. If anyone can help, big or small donations make a difference. ❤️❤️

Our last guest of the season is Ziggy. He is currently supervising our preparations for safely hauling The Big Dog at Nanny Cay Marina for the next couple months. Second only to making our charter guests happy is our love for doing what we can with PAW BVI to help foster puppies like Ziggy until they find their forever homes.

What a lovely review from great guests! 💕💕

🚩Client Review: “The entire yacht vacation experience was amazing. Capt. Terry & Ruth were wonderful. Terry was always whistling & cheerful, had endless patience teaching us all about Catamaran vs Monohull sailing & the quirks of The Big Dog, answered a thousand questions and never once seemed put out by our endless curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

We dove with Terry 3x and he was a wonderful dive master…taking us to 3 sites with a lot of variation & interest. He is always watching out for everyone’s safety above & below the water and has ninja-like abilities to appear with the dinghy just as you need a ride back to the boat from a shore excursion. The condition & layout of The Big Dog is amazing…everything was spotless and ship shape. Spacious cabins, comfortable mooring/anchoring sites, water maker (water pressure was impressive!) and ice maker were a real luxury too!

Ruth’s meals were outstanding and she is a warm and cheerful presence on the boat. We loved the size of The Big Dog for 8 of us-her spacious deck space, the big fly deck, the cabins…everything. The layout with the galley being down below made it seem as if meals magically appeared out of nowhere. That was a fun surprise as we hadn’t been on a catamaran with that configuration before.

We would give this boat and crew our HIGHEST recommendation. This is now our 4th crewed charter in the VI’s and The Big Dog takes the prize in every category. First class crew, first class cuisine, first class vessel. ~ I also of course will always recommend Yacht Charters Guru!”

Yes, this absolutely could be you! If you would like a beautiful travel companion to ease the pain of your return to real life after your charter, let us know! PAW BVI does the admin and pays for the flight; you get the company and the puppy love.

This could be you!

Flights are way more fun with a puppy or kitty!

PAW is always looking for flight es**rts (people travelling from either BVI or STT to the US who are willing to take a pup or cat along).

It doesn't cost you anything and we handle all the admin. We meet you at your point of departure in BVI or STT and a rescue partner meets you at the airport when you land.

Salt, Pepper and Mustard are some of the most adorable fosters you can imagine. We work with PAW BVI to rescue and re home some of our sweet BVI pups. You can help by es**rting them back to USA, at no cost to you. (Puppy kisses guaranteed!) Please let us know if you would be willing to help.
