Our Mission

The mission of Castaways Animal Shelter & Sanctuary is to serve as an advocate for animals and to:

  • Provide care, a safe haven, and adoption services for lost and abandoned animals.

  • Educate the public about the humane treatment of animals and responsible pet ownership

  • help to provide affordable spay/neuter services.

Our Philosophy

Castaways strives to ensure that healthy, socialized animals are made available for adoption. We do not euthanize animals due to lack of space. There is not a time limit for adoption. However, we do have the responsibility to ensure that we do not place dangerous animals in out community and that no animal suffers from a medical condition that goes beyond our ability to provide treatment. We consider the unique needs of all the animals in our care; we work compassionately to prepare safe, appropriately socialized pets for a wonderful new life. As you can imagine, opening our doors to so many animals requires the support of people like you.
