Providing compassionate care and brighter futures for homeless animals.

There are many places to acquire a dog or a cat, but our shelter provides adoption matchmaking services that help you find the right pet for your family and household. 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 cared for, socialized, and observed for all possible behavioral and health 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. They also help us maintain our facilities and keep the lights on. Make a one-time donation or a monthly donation of any amount.
Volunteer
Volunteer opportunities are many, just to name a few: walking dogs, trapping feral cats, general shelter cleaning, medical clinic support, fostering pets, and volunteering at our 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.
💙🌤️Today it was in the 60s, sun-shining bright through a partly cloudy day, and kinda perfect here in the San Juan Islands, and what better way to enjoy the dream weather than by visiting our National Parks?! Adoptable dog, Daisy, got to get out of the shelter for some time spent at American Camp, and was absolutely loving it!😊💚 To top it off, she was able to hang out with two of her shelter staff buddies, and visit one of her favorite shelter volunteer dog walkers, Allison, at her job as a Park Ranger with @nationalparkservice where she got to become an Official B.A.R.K. Ranger!🐶👏🏻
➡️🥹Swipe through this photo and video series to see Daisy becoming a B.A.R.K. Ranger, and exploring the park! We asked her review of this outing and she has this to say: “When I first jumped into the car, I didn’t know where we were headed, but I was excited. Then we pulled up to a place that had a lot of really intriguing smells, and then we saw my friend Allison! She was dressed a little differently, but still the same fun. When we were with her there was a lot of yummy cheese served, and she gave me a new trinket for my harness. She asked for my signature and I was brave about it, giving her my paw print. Then to top the whole thing off, I got to go to the beach! Anyways, I hope my B.A.R.K. Ranger status means I get to come back here again soon, and then often! Maybe I’ll even get to come back with a person(s)of my own some day.”
Wow, we hope so too Daisy! 🥹💗
🤍🥺We don’t know HOW Daisy is still available for adoption! Literally everyone that meets her would take her home themselves if they were in the position to do so. She’s so perfect, playful, intelligent, in-tune-with-you girl with the absolute cutest brown and white cow pattern look, who keeps the cleanest kennel. What more could you possibly want y’all? Are you interested in meeting this special girl, and adopting her? Then don’t delay, and fill out the Canine Application on our website today!

Daisy looks like the sweetest pup pup ! 🌸

!!AVAILABLE KITTENS!!
Spring is here! And our first litter of kittens will be ready for adoption and their new homes by the end of next week (5/24/24).
Allow us to introduce to you this little band of brothers that have been "tearin' up our hearts" since 3/22/2024...affectionately known as the *NSYNC litter!
Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Joey Fatone are all wonderful little felines that have been loved and raised in foster care, but are now ready to say "bye, bye, bye" and start their journey in finding their new homes.
So, get in those apps soon cause their cuteness is "probably gonna start a fight" with potential adopters, and remember we love to send kittens home in pairs!
By the end of next week, we are hoping to have them all singing "it's gonna be me" to their new families.

*NSYNC we love you guys ❤️
My compliments to the naming team 😽 I drive myself crazy with how cute they are!
💝👩🏼🍼✨Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at APS-FH to all you Moms out there (Pet Moms included)!✨👩🏼🍼💝
On this special day, we celebrate the Moms in our lives for all that they are, and thank them for all that they so tirelessly (and often thanklessly) give to their babies. We celebrate and honor all the different types of Moms, whether they brought their offspring into the world themselves, or met them through other means, Moms are complete and total rockstars! We feel so grateful for all the Moms in our lives, including the ones like Callie the cat, who we have gotten to know well as a mother through our work here at APS-FH.
Mothering in the cat world is not always an easy business, and for many unspayed females, it means bearing litter after litter at a young age; you are often raising kittens before you’re even done being one yourself (CATS CAN GET PREGNANT AS YOUNG AS FOUR MONTHS OLD)! Although young still, Callie came to us already in the process of her third litter. Upon arrival to the shelter she was placed into foster care where she successfully nursed the litter until they no longer needed her.
Callie was placed into our Kitten Room, which has a prime view of the lobby, and she wasn’t there but for a few hours before she was winning over everyone’s hearts, mewing you to come to her to receive love and affection; we just knew with her adorable looks, and sweet personality, that she wouldn’t last long before being adopted. However, Callie didn’t get much of a chance before two one-week old kittens were found as strays and brought to our shelter, and she once again answered the call of motherhood…
