We Can Help

There’s a place in your community where the hungry are fed, the homeless are sheltered, and the abandoned are comforted. It’s the Orcas Animal Shelter, where care is provided for our homeless animals. The Orcas Animal Shelter also offers many other services for pets and their owners.

To do all this, we rely on the support of people like you. Whether you’re here to spend some time with our furry friends, find a new pet, or have concerns about animal issues, we love to help both the two and the 4-legged members of our Orcas community.

The Mission of the Orcas Animal Protection Society is to promote the humane care of animals by:

  • Operating an animal shelter
  • Educating the public about responsible pet care
  • Facilitating the adoption of unwanted dogs and cats into loving homes
  • Providing spay/neuter services to reduce the number of homeless dogs and cats
