There are many places to acquire a dog or a cat,
but the shelter is special. Before you adopt your companion animal from us,
the Animal Protection Society will:
Treat the pet for internal & external parasites,
Give them all initial vaccinations,
Spay or Neuter the pet, and
Test all cats for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Leukemia Virus (FeLV)
Beyond all that, animals at the shelter are lovingly played with, socialized, and observed for all possible behavior problems. We care about our friends, and it shows!
Kitten season comes often to our islands! If your cat has kittens, be sure to have both mother and all kittens spayed or neutered. That way there will always be a home for the cats that need one. Kittens and puppies can be spayed or neutered as young as 10 weeks old. If you are looking for Spay/Neuter assistance programs, contact the Animal Shelter at 378-2158.
We are fortunate to have the following veterinarians on our island:
Lighthouse Vet Housecalls (360) 378-4711
Harbor Veterinary Services (360) 378-3959
Island's Veterinary Clinic (360) 378-2333
If you would like information about spaying or neutering your pet you can call Harbor Veterinary Services or Island's Veterinary Clinic. Do your part to reduce the unwanted pets on San Juan Island; have your pets spayed or neutered. |
