About us
We help dogs in Bequia live happy and healthy lives
The Chappy House started in 2022 with the aim of rehabilitating and rehoming island dogs in Bequia.
We provide shelter, adoption, medication, spay and neuter, and community outreach to inspire the community to value animals and treat them with respect and kindness.
Why we do what we do
Anyone who's been to Bequia will know the island dogs form a huge part of the community and island experience. They'll join you on a stroll around Port Elizabeth, guide you down the Belmont Walkway, and even spend the day on the beach with you—if you're lucky.
However, these generous and loyal pups don't always get the love and support they need to survive.
Through our different programs, including feeding, rescue and rehabilitation, medication, and steralization, we give Bequia dogs the chance to live happier and healthier lives, whether that be on island or finding them homes abroad.

The inspiration for The Chappy House
Chapman 'Chappy' Durling, the late brother of our founder, Ngaere, is the inspiration behind The Chappy House name. Chapman visited Bequia frequently since he was a child and loved both the island and its 4-legged inhabitants.
So, now, we continue spreading positivity and doing good deeds in his name, by supporting two things he cherished in life.
