Friends of the Castaic Shelter

Friends of the Castaic Shelter The Friends of the Castaic Shelter is a volunteer run page dedicated to increasing pet adoptions at the Castaic Animal Care Center. Closed Sundays. Sadly, NO.

Shelter is open to the public Monday-Saturday from 11-5. Email: [email protected] 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 ad

opt? 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? YES! 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.

Update: ADOPTED!❤️Gentle Giant here!
This guy is Yukon , a 1 1/2 year old, 95 lb Mastiff.
He has the most gentle disposition and is super sweet!
We're just getting to know him-and so far it's clear he loves people and playing with his kennel mate Merry! Yukon would thrive in a home with a family familiar with the breed.
He's such a good boy!

If you’re looking for a small pup…Tot, , is listed as a 2 year old, 24 pound female Min Pin Mix. She is adorable! Tot gets along with other dogs and is usually kenneled with another pup. She seems to be a good luck charm. Whoever she is kenneled with gets adopted! Always the bridesmaid… Tot is a great size for an apartment or condo. We’re surprised this cute little girl hasn’t been scooped up yet!

Titan (ID ), a
3-year-old, 53 lb pittie who was surrendered by his owner and is now hoping for a fresh start. Titan is strong on leash but knows "sit" and is eager to learn more. He's incredibly affectionate, loves being pet, and really enjoys playing with toys! This sweet boy is ready to pour his whole heart into his next family.

Meet Humphrey (ID ), a 1-year-old, 67
Ib pittie with full-on puppy vibes! This sweet stray is still learning the ropes—he can be timid, once comfortable he can be mouthy and he needs some training, especially with his
"off" cue. But he's affectionate and enjoys pets. Humphrey would do best with calm dog friends who can help him settle in. He's young, loving, and ready to grow with someone patient and kind!
