Our Mission

The purpose of the Carleton County Animal Shelter is to facilitate the placement of stray and unwanted animals and pets in desirable homes; to maintain an animal shelter and associated procedures which promote the health, care and handling, and prevent over population and the prevention of cruelty to animals. The animals in our care, our guests, are never euthanised merely because we lack space or because the animal’s stay with us has exceeded a predefined amount of time.”

About CARLETON COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER INC

The Carleton County Animal Shelter was founded on the belief that no animal should have to go hungry, be homeless or live in fear or pain. CCAS believes that all animals deserve to be treated with dignity, kindness, and respect and provided with care that increases their opportunity for a safe life.

Founded in 1995, CCAS has rescued and re-homed hundreds of cats and dogs each year. We are a non-profit organization, run by a group of dedicated volunteers and caring staff (made up of 1 shelter manager and 2 part time shelter attendants). We are funded solely by donations made by the public and therefore rely on the generosity of our supporters. No donation is too small or insignificant...every penny will be put to good use (food, shelter, medications & vaccinations, and most importantly spays/neuters).

Thank you for your generosity.
