Providing compassionate care and brighter futures for homeless animals on San Juan Island and beyond.
Search for your new friend here.
Through adoption of homeless pets, humane education, abuse investigation, and community outreach and leadership, we match pets and people. There are many places to acquire a dog or a cat, but our shelter is special. Before you adopt your companion animal from us, the Animal Protection Society will:
- Treat the pet for internal and external parasites
- Give them all initial vaccinations
- Spay or neuter the pet
- 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! Learn more.
How You Can Help
Donate
Outright donations help us feed and take care of the shelter pets. Make a one-time donation, a monthly donation, or become a Shelter P.A.L. by making a yearly donation of any amount.
Volunteer
Volunteer opportunities are many, just to name a few: walking dogs, trapping feral cats, pet training, medical support, fostering pets, and volunteering time at Treasure Hounds store.
Treasure Hounds
Shopping at our upscale retail thrift store is another way to support us, so is donating gently used household furnishings, home goods & decor to Treasure Hounds.

Oh boy, so glad to see this new batch of pups. The folks who take them home will be very lucky indeed!
They are that. But way to big for me I'm afraid😟
Oh my GOODNESS they’re so sweet 😍

We LOVE getting updates from our adopters on how well their rescues are doing. We just received this fantastic update from Doc’s (formally known as Glenn, from the “G” Litter) parents who just threw him a “breed reveal party” 🐶 :
“Hi guys! I just wanted to give you an update on Doc. He’s so awesome!!! He’s got personality, is so playful, and a little stubborn, but is really well behaved and smart! We had a wisdom panel done and his breed mixture blew our minds. Here are some updated pictures!”
Hooray for Doc and his happy home!

Weight: 8 lbs

Meet Sorcerer! A magical little feline who casts love spells on everyone he meets...as well as his ultra soft coat! Sorcerer is a charming, friendly, young cat looking for his forever family. He is outgoing and social, but not “overly” social. He is the perfect combination of chill and lively. Sorcerer loves being up high, so his new home should plan on securing a peak position for him to post up and take comfy naps. He’s currently waiting patiently (on the top shelf) of Cat Room #3.
