The Companion Animal Support League Support for struggling pet owners A lack of resource does not mean a lack of love CASL was born from the lived experience of one animal welfare professional. From surrendering pets because they required unreachable medical care to not being able to afford impound fees when their pets wandered community members who already struggle to function in a system that leaves them behind are also losing their best friends and often only solace due to a lack of resource. These same issues put a massive strain on the resources of our local animal shelters and our animal control agencies. It benefits the pet owners the pets AND our finite community resources to keep families together.
