About Canyon Lake Animal Shelter Society

Canyon Lake Animal Shelter Society is a 501 (c) 3 non profit, no kill, limited admission animal shelter which enhances the quality of life and adoptability of animals abandoned, neglected, or at risk of being euthanized by other local facilities. 

All animals receive appropriate medical care, love, and the best care possible for however long it takes to find them a loving family and home. The ultimate goal is to ensure each animal placed in the care of CLASS is cared for with dignity, professionalism, compassion, and humility.

CLASS is determined to make a positive impact and change the lives of the animals in it's care.

Our efforts include:

• Saving animals at risk of being euthanized at local facilities
• Providing basic medical care prior to adoption and ensuring all animals requiring further care receive treatment 
• Performing temperament testing to better understand the ideal home for each animal
• Providing mental and physical stimulation to reduce stress and support happier and healthier behaviors

Our team of dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to provide the best possible care for our animals. They are passionate, knowledgeable, and committed to our mission of alleviating the stress and boredom of being confined to a kennel.

We ensure the dogs remain active, mentally sharp, and emotionally balanced by taking them on walks, allowing them to have play dates with other dogs, taking them on day out adventures, providing in kennel enrichment and toys, and spending one on one time in a dedicated 'hang out' room. 

We ensure the cats remain active, mentally sharp, and emotionally balanced by allowing them to stretch their legs out of their kennel, engage them with wand toys and laser lights, provide in kennel enrichment and toys, and spend one on one time giving into their demands of pets and treats.
