If your animal gets out and finds their way to the shelter as a stray you can pick up your animal seven days a week in most cases. Voicemails are checked in the morning usually between 7:00 am & 8:00 am so leaving a message prior to that is best. You can additionally try emailing us at casa@camanoanimalshelter.org.

You can also reclaim your stray animal by visiting the shelter during normal business hours.

Monday and Tuesday we are closed to the public, but stray reclaiming can be done in most cases by simply calling the shelter at any hour and leaving a call back number for the morning staff, calling during the day before noon, or stopping by the shelter and knocking on the door. The staff can be in various areas of the shelter on Mondays and Tuesdays so you may have to be patient and persistent in order to have a staff person hear your call or knock. This information can also be used for early morning pickup if needed.

You must have proof of ownership in order to take home your animal. ID matching the current microchip registration, veterinary records with animal's photo on paperwork, recent date-stamped photos, etc. Reclaiming your animal does require payment of stray/impound fees. CASA is unable to legally waive any Island County Impound Fees. Please come prepared. No Checks, cash preferred.

CASA is contracted with Island County for stray animal services. Our shelter is a temporary home for found dogs, cats, and occasionally other small pets. If you are missing your pet please contact the shelter and provide a detailed description in order for staff to check if your pet is at the shelter or if your pet has been reported as found by a citizen. CASA records detailed information in a Lost and Found pet binder for stray pets being housed by members of the public. Please ask for your information to be listed in the binder for future reference if your pet is not at the shelter. You can also email the shelter or drop off a missing pet flyer at the shelter during open hours. A photo of your pet is critical to identifying them properly and bringing them home.

Remember that CASA holds stray animals for 5 days before placing them up for adoption. We have one of the longest stray hold periods around. All animals are scanned for microchips. Please call the microchip registration company for your pet's microchip and verify that your contact information is current. It is never too late to update your pet's microchip registration. You can do this even if your pet has already gone missing as long as you have the microchip number. CASA can help you if you have questions regarding your pet's microchip before or when they are missing.
