Welcome to CVAS!

CVAS is a “no-kill shelter” that has been in operation for over nine years. We are a volunteer-driven organization and rely on donations to continue helping our animals. All donation proceeds go directly to supporting the services we provide that keep our animals safe, cared for and in loving homes.

The current shelter is very rustic and is badly in need of repairs.  The sole heat source is wood, requiring constant attention in frigid weather to ensure that all of our charges stay warm and comfortable. We have big dreams and goals for our Sanctuary but we need the support of the community, interested individuals, businesses and organizations to make those dreams come true.

There are no county-supported shelters in Stevens County. We are the only safety net for the many hundreds of animals that become homeless each year.

The volunteers and the animals here are CVAS would like to send out a big Thank You to all of you who responded so quickly and so generously in response to our devastating fire!
It took us awhile to recover from the shock, but we were also overwhelmed by the outpouring of sympathy and compassion from the community as well as our online friends.
Thank you so much!

We hope to begin the rebuild very soon, we're just waiting for the weather to co-operate!

We'll keep you posted as we make progress.
