Who We Are


Captain Care Shelter Intervention is an all-volunteer, donation-based non profit organization. We focus on the Carson Shelter service area (Los Angeles County, Gardena, CA) which serves low-income communities in Southern California, to bring help and pet care support to members of those communities.  Our mission is to keep pets at home, out of the shelter system, by providing a safety net for low-income pet owners.  Our assistance includes humane euthanasia to prevent shelter surrender of irremediably sick or dying pets, pet food and supplies, free ID tags, help paying shelter return to owner fees for impounded pets, and help with spay/neuter and vaccinations.

We are a registered nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, EIN 81-2015973.  All donations are tax deductible.

Since we began in August 2014, until December 2018, we have helped 14,084 pets stay out of the shelter.
