Friends of the Castaic Shelter Volunteer run page dedicated to increasing pet adoptions at the Castaic Animal Care Center
Shelter. Open to the public Monday-Saturday from 11-5. Sadly, NO. YES!

Closed Sundays. Email: [email protected]
Address:
31044 Charlie Cyn Rd
Castaic, Ca 91384 Click link above to schedule an appointment to meet animals. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Will the shelter allow me to foster? Unless you are an approved foster who has completed the county's foster training class, the answer is sadly no.
2. Does the shelter require I come into the shelter to adopt? Yes, although due to Covid the shelter is currently closed and adoptions or “meet and greets” are by appointment only. If you are out of state and can find a 501(c)3 rescue who is an adoption partner of the Los Angeles County shelter system (DACC) they will be able to pull the pet for you.
3. Does the Castaic Shelter ship animals? No, the shelter doesn’t have the budget or manpower to ship animals.
4. Is the Castaic Shelter a "no kill" shelter? The shelter is far from a "no kill" shelter. The staff does not want to euthanize any animals - but unfortunately the shelter's intakes far exceed the adoptions. Castaic Shelter is not a rescue so please be aware that if you surrender an animal it may not get adopted.
5. Can you help and if so how? If you are local you can sign up for the volunteer training program, but volunteer training is currently on hold due to Covid. You can always help us by networking and sharing our animals. If you wish to donate to our charitable arm, the "Dreams Come True" charity which provides outside medical help to pets at the Castaic Animal Care Center, you can do so by sending a tax deductible check to the shelter. No donation is too small! This page promotes the adoption and rescue of pets from the Castaic Shelter. All dogs and cats who are included in this album are at the Castaic Shelter and urgently in need of adoption or rescue.

Something Good is Coming! 🌼 Lily! 🌼 Lily is a beautiful brindle calm girl! She has basic training and is good on the leash. Lily is treat motivated. She is house and crate trained. Lily is listed as a 9 years YOUNG, 45 pound female pittie. Although calm, she has plenty of energy to walk, play and “come!” Especially if treats are involved. Lily was surrendered due to an altercation with another dog in the home. Staff are requiring a home with calm dogs and no little pets, but perhaps Lily would love a home of her own where she is not required to share. Please come fall in love with Lily!
