H/3 and HSI Partnership in the BVI
"The BVI has always been a special community of generous and resourceful people, with a deep connection to the magical place they call home – and with the animals who share that home. Since I first visited many decades ago, the BVI and its people have favoured us with their friendship, hospitality and grace. So it is now our honour to be able to give something back – both in addressing an urgent, immediate need, but also as the first step in working together as a community to rebuild an even better BVI in the coming years. Having come to know the BVI spirit over the last 30+ years, I am confident that this community will emerge from this tragic period even stronger than it was before."

Following Hurricane Irma in 2017, H/3 Foundation partnered with Humane Society International to launch an animal rescue and relief initiative in the British Virgin Islands. The organizations supplied food, carriers, hay for farm animals, and equipment to support the rescue efforts. This program also evacuated lost and displaced dogs and cats, reunited families with their pets, and set up local veterinary clinics for emergency medical care and treatment. To help make evacuating with pets easier, the organizations also helped facilitate travel certifications that were required for the animals.
