Animal Defenders St. Martin is a non-governmental organization (NGO) whose mission is to ensure that the St. Martin community becomes more involved in helping animals.
Animal Defenders St. Martin consists of volunteers, who want to create awareness for animal welfare on the island. The main areas of focus are on:
- Sterilisation and aftercare
- Medical care
- Education
- Adoptions
Animal Defenders SXM Foundation is very grateful for the support of private and corporate sponsors. The foundation could not function without the generous donations. The main priorities are spaying, vaccinating, feeding and aftercare of the stray animals (mostly dogs and cats) and we also focus on organizing community awareness campaigns to get more involved in helping our voiceless friends. All donations go directly to the animals, including food, medicine, spay/neuter or other surgeries, vaccinations and aftercare. Neither the volunteers nor the board receive a salary or any other compensation; On the contrary, they all donate their own money on gasoline, phone expenses, pet food and occasionally even a vet bill, in addition to the precious donated time and energy.
The volunteers are invaluable because compassion cannot be bought and there is no amount of money big enough to express how precious they are. It all comes from their hearts and it is all done with love for the animals. Thank you so much to the sponsors and animal volunteers.”
