MONTEGO BAY ANIMAL HAVEN
Montego Bay Animal Haven is the only shelter in Montego Bay that works on rescuing and rehoming stray and abandoned animals. It’s been operating since 2009 surviving strictly on donations from general public.
All rescue dogs get proper medical treatment, vaccinated, spayed and recover after stress, before they are moved to the land in the hills, where they stay with other dogs until adopted.
HIKING WITH 100 HOOLIGANS
The founders of IRIELAB were looking for a way to help Montego Bay Animal Haven to raise funds to support the animals and thought of creating tours to the shelter.
However, the founder of the Haven had an even better idea! She offered to do a hike in the hills on the 17 Acre land that was provided for the shelter and take her sweet hooligans with guests. This is how Hiking with the Hooligans was born.
