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: castaic@animalcare.lacounty.gov 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? 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.

URGENT FOSTER NEEDED!!
This sweet boy, Muncita(aka Coop) was pulled from Castaic Animal Care Center yesterday by Golden Years Dog Sanctuary because a comitted foster had stepped up. He’s an 8 year old ,35 lb terrier/basset hound mix. The foster was informed that this was a forever commitment and that the dog would need time to decompress. It was discussed that the initial days may be difficult . After less than 24 hours, the foster has said that she cannot keep the dog because it is not working out. She thinks Coop is older than the shelter says, does not want to eat, is pacing, and one of her dogs does not like him. All normal behavior for the adjustment of a shelter dog to a new environment! We are desperate to find a loving foster home for sweet Coop asap! Please send us a message if you can help🙏
