Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Medical Care for Animals
All animals are vaccinated and wormed and all cats up for adoption are tested for feline leukemia. All adopted animals are spayed/neutered.
Adoption Services
CASA cares for stray and surrendered animals until they can find a home.
Microchipping
Adopted animals: CASA also makes sure all dogs and cats adopted from our shelter are microchipped and registered before leaving to a new home.
Going Home Chipped program: Stray Cats and Dogs who are being reclaimed by an owner are offered a microchip for free (CASA covers the cost) at the time of redemption if the pet is not already microchipped.
Free Microchip Clinics: Thanks to generous sponsors, CASA offers two FREE microchip clinics a year. The microchip clinics for both cats and dogs are open to all.
Low-Cost Microchips
CASA offers low-cost microchip implantation to the public for dogs, by appointment, for only $15

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our Vision:
A world where every animal has a voice, proper care, safety, security, and is free from abuse and neglect.
Our Mission:
Bringing together animals in need and caring people, forever enriching their lives.
CASA (Camano Animal Shelter Association) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a managed-admissions no-kill animal shelter which is devoted to the care of homeless pets. CASA is an independent charitable organization that cares for cats and dogs as well as the occasional pocket pet. We are contracted for stray services in Camano Island only, but accept owner-surrendered animals from Camano and beyond as space allows. Through our limited contract with Island County, we provide dog licensing services as well as temporary care, boarding, and redemption services for impounded/seized dogs (via Camano Sheriff Deputies/Animal Control) from Camano Island.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
To fulfill our mission, we educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering including referrals to low-cost clinics in our area, and encourage owners of reclaimed animals to microchip their pets by explaining why it is important. We help people keep their pets rather than being forced to surrender them by offering assistance and providing pet food and/or supplies from our designated food bank supplies. At our shelter, animals are not given a time limit. Although we try and find forever homes in a timely fashion, they are welcome to stay here as long as they need. CASA believes that each animal is important and is deserving of the extra effort.
CASA recognizes that finding forever homes for homeless animals is a community effort. When possible, we assist other shelters by taking animals that have been at their shelter for a prolonged period of time, are facing euthanasia due to space, and/or could really benefit from a change of environment or different exposure. We also work with a variety of rescue groups in order to transfer animals to them when they need more specialized care prior to finding a forever home. A number of rescue groups also utilize us on a referral basis when they are too full.
