Hi Everyone,

It is possible to bring a pet (Cat or Dog) to Anguilla however in general it is not recommended.  Not many landlords allow pets and they will charge you a higher rent if they agree to allow them.  Housing is generally not set up to allow for dogs or cats and you may have issues with wildlife that lives on the island.  

Anguilla has a pet shelter, AARF (the Anguilla Animal Rescue Society).  Stray dogs and cats occur on the island and some students end up adopting a pet while they live in Anguilla.  Be aware that this may violate the terms of your lease and is an issue that must be dealt with strictly between the student and the landlord.  

If you are looking to help out the animals on Anguilla feel free to check out AARF here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.aarf.ai/">http://www.aarf.ai/</a><!-- m -->
The Student Government Association is heavily involved with supporting the rescue and actively raises money through SGA activities.

If you still plan to bring a cat or dog to Anguilla I recommend going down early or waiting to bring your pet until you have set up your pet-friendly housing to reduce stress on yourself and your pet.  You will also need to make sure you are meeting all travel and permit requirements for bringing a pet to Anguilla and through whichever other islands/countries you may pass through on your travels to Anguilla.

If you have any questions please reach out to your Document Specialist or the Anguilla Student Government.
