Providing compassionate care and brighter futures for homeless animals on San Juan Island and beyond.

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.

Flora
Female, Blue Pittbull Terrier, 10 months old, approx. 70 lbs
Meet Flora! This sweet, young girl has had an unfortunate change in family circumstance and is now looking for a new home through no fault of her own. Here is what her current guardian has to say about Miss Flora:
"Flora is very meek and friendly. She gets along well with other dogs, even cats. She is a kind-hearted sweet soul who is in need of a new home. She walks well on and off a leash. Loves the beach and play dates!!"
Doesn't she sound just about perfect? We think so too. Flora doesn't have much time to find her new home and avoid coming to the shelter, so if you're interested act quickly!
If you are interested in giving Flora a quality, caring home, please reach out to the at shelter@apsfh.com, or you can fill out and submit a Canine Adoption Application through our website here:
www.apsfh.com/adoption-program/canine-application/
All potential adopters will be pre-screened through the shelter's adoption process and put in touch with Flora's current guardian to speak more about her and arrange a meet and greet.
