Adopt a Homeless Pet
CASA has many wonderful dogs and cats looking for homes. To see our available pets for adoption visit the shelter or visit the "Adopt" tab above.
CASA does not have their own animal control services and is unable to respond to animal control related issues such as loose dogs, dog capturing, or pickup of stray dogs.
Those service calls are handled by:
Camano Island Animal Control
360.629.2224
Animal Emergencies or Cruelty in Progress
911
Camano Island Animal Control also handles the following:
Animal bite reports, animal abuse and neglect complaints
*Animal Control does not pick up or trap cats.
County Pet Licensing
CASA offers the sale of annual dog licenses on behalf of the county. Please make sure you have proof of current rabies vaccination for each dog when you arrive to buy your license.
*Our county does not have licensing requirements for cats.
Live Trap Rental
CASA offers humane live trap rentals for local residents. Trap rentals can be done in person at the shelter. Fees are as follows: $50 refundable deposit, $10 for initial three days of use then $2 daily each day thereafter.
CASA is a temporary home for found dogs and cats. If you are missing your pet please contact the shelter and provide a detailed description in order for staff to check if your pet is at the shelter or if it has been reported as found by a citizen. CASA also records detailed information in a Lost and Found pet binder for missing and found pets being housed by private citizens. Please ask for your information to be listed in the binder for future reference if your pet is not at the shelter. You can also email the shelter or drop off a missing pet flyer at the shelter during open hours.
Found Pets
If you have found a dog or cat please contact the shelter to see if anyone has reported the pet missing. If the shelter is closed, please leave us a detailed message or contact Animal Control. You are always free to bring the found dog or cat to the shelter during open hours. We ask that you do not bring them into the building. Come in the shelter and a staff member will come out to your vehicle and assist you with the animal. We highly recommend that you bring the animal to any vet or shelter as soon as possible to have them scanned for a microchip. This is always a free and simple service which often quickly leads to the animal's owner.
CASA is a limited admission animal shelter. We try and help as many pets as we can in finding new homes but our small size limits the number we are able to take at one time. If you are considering surrendering your pet to CASA please contact the shelter prior to bringing them in. You can also ask the staff about alternatives such as Courtesy Listings via petfinder.
Courtesy Listings
CASA offers free Courtesy Listings pet ads to local residents who need to find homes for their pets. This is a wonderful resource if your pet has behavioral issues unfit for a shelter environment or when our shelter is unavailable to take your pet due to lack of current space. If you are able to safely keep your pet until the right home is found, you may not need to surrender your pet to the shelter. Courtesy Listings can usually be put on our Petfinder.com available pet list within a day making this a great temporary option if you end up on our shelter's wait list for needing to surrender. You may just find a home for your pet without them having to stay at the shelter. Please email our shelter staff or call the shelter directly for more information on this service.
CASA is unable to take in or physically assist with feral cats or semi-feral barn cats. We do, however, try to keep a list of people interested in providing homes for "barn cats" or "mousers." If you are interested in providing food, water, and shelter for a homeless cat like this, please contact the shelter to be added to our list. You will get a call from us! If you have a barn cat who needs a new home, feel free to contact the shelter and ask if there is anyone looking for a cat like yours and we can contact them for you. All barn cats or mousers need to be spayed or neutered. Feral Cats including Barn Cats can be altered for free through Feral Cat Spay & Neuter clinics as part of T.N.R. (Trap Neuter Release) Programs. more on Free Feral Cat clinics
Pet Microchipping
At this time our shelter does not perform pet microchipping implantation for the public. CASA does make sure all dogs & cats adopted from our shelter are microchipped and registered before leaving to a new home. CASA recommends having your pet microchipped if they are not already.
If you currently have a pet who is not microchipped you can have this done at most veterinary clinics. Call your vet for details on the microchip services they offer. Microchips help pets find their way home!
