Solja Boy was rescued from the streets of St. Croix by the Warden, Odey Constant, from the St. Croix Animal Welfare Center. 
He was in a state of severe starvation and dehydration after being abandoned by his family who moved off-island
a year before he was finally rescued. He was skin and bones and could only lift his head.

He captured the heart of Dr. Boswell and Anna Loizeaux, as the entire shelter staff worked very hard to
provide him with nursing care and rehabilitation therapy. 

Solja Boy was adopted my Dr. Boswell and Anna to live at the Sugar Mill Vet Center.  Slow and steady progress proved successful!
He began by using a cart (wheelchair) to support him, which allowed him to regain strength in his back legs.  After much thought
and study about his painful elbow in his left front leg, we decided to amputate it to relieve his pain. Solja's is happy to have lost it
and runs around pain free!

Solja Boy has agreed to take the roll of 'Resident Guard Dog' and spends his days walking the Mills grounds and barking at people he doesn't know.  He is a goof ball and feels so good now! He runs up and down hills with ease and he continues to amaze the Sugar Mill staff.

He is quite a soldier... & quite loved!

Lucky was found emaciated & suffering from seizures, tied in a burlap bag in the dumpster.
A concerned citizen found her and brought her into the hospital with hopes of helping her.
It appears that she was poisoned or so severely starved,when she was found  she was suffering from seizures.

She recovered and went home!
She is one LUCKY girl!


If everyone does just one thing this month to
raise awareness about or to fight animal cruelty,
think of the difference we could make!

SWEET PEA



Sweet Pea was brought to us as a 3 month old kitten that was a wild and fed by a concerned citizen until she was friendly and old enough to be taken away from her feral mother.  Though she knows where she wants to go and what she wants to do, she had trouble getting around.  She appeard to have cerebral damage to the brain, but was able to lead a normal life with a little extra care.

Sweet Pea spent some of her day in a pouch on MacKenzie while she is working at the reception desk or out in the yard with a volunteer, and she loved the attention and activity!

  With her condition there is only so much that can be done, and she began to suffer from seizures. 
We were so lucky to have known such a happy and devoted little girl, and can be happy knowing that she enjoyed that life!
