The Coastal Animal Services Authority (CASA) is dedicated to facilitating the placement of stray and unwanted animals into desirable, loving homes. We strive to promote animal health, provide quality care, and ensure the safety of both our community and our furry residents.
For nearly 40 years, the Pet Project Foundation and the San Clemente-Dana Point Animal Shelter have been united in a unique partnership to provide pro-humane care for the lost and abandoned animals of our cities. This collaboration allows us to provide a safe, nurturing refuge for every animal in our care, regardless of how long it takes to find their perfect match. We are proud that our animals are never euthanized due to lack of space or time spent at the shelter.
Our facility offers a comprehensive, professional environment for animals in transition, supported by thousands of hours of dedicated volunteer time annually. We maintain a robust foster program where local residents provide temporary, loving homes for animals, including bottle-fed kittens and those needing medical recuperation. This blend of shelter-based care and community-fostering ensures every pet receives the individual attention and support they deserve.
Adopting a new pet is a rewarding journey, and we are committed to helping you find the companion that tugs at your heart. We encourage all potential adopters to research the unique needs of the breed or animal they are interested in to ensure a successful, lifelong partnership. By welcoming a shelter pet into your home, you are gaining a loyal friend and supporting our mission to create a compassionate community.
Are you ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to view our current residents on our website, download an adoption application, or visit us at our shelter in San Clemente. Join us in our mission to give every animal the bright, happy future they deserve.
