How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Cape Coral Animal Shelter & Veterinary Clinic

Preventive care

We had such a wonderful experience with Cape Coral Animal Shelter when we adopted Benjamin Button, now Hendrix, in December 2025. From the very beginning, everyone was so kind, caring, and helpful throughout the adoption process. Hendrix has truly been the sweetest addition to our family. He is so happy, loving, and full of personality. He loves going on walks with his older brother, enjoying plenty of snacks, and running around in the backyard living his best life. He has brought so much joy into our home, and we absolutely adore him. We feel incredibly lucky that he is ours and are so grateful to Cape Coral Animal Shelter for all the amazing work they do for these animals. Thank you for helping us find such a special boy. We’re sharing a few photos as well because we hope you enjoy seeing how happy and loved he is!

Yall are amazing. The facility was nice and clean. The meet and greet was smooth abs the adoption was simple. We are loving Javier aka Craig. Our two dogs are warming up to him. Don't worry everyone is supervised.

Sad to say, we recently lost the love of our life. Our Ruby girl! Last year. My husband was looking for another dog. Waffles picture appeared and we decided to go and look. This was the first time to this shelter, it was the puppy bowl. We were so impress on the organization with all the workers. Everywhere we were in this Shelter was clean and no horrible shelter odor. Everyone had a role. Everyone knew their role. They had a huge selection to pick from and all the dogs looked healthy and clean. The cages were clean and outside was clean. We had a handler who attended to us and she knew her role. The vet came out after we purchase Waffles and she gave us a briefing on what we needed to do for her and told us what had already been done for her. It was a good experience all around. Our little baby Waffles has helped us get over the grief we had for our Ruby girl. Waffles is beautiful and was well cared for. I recommend this shelter highly to whom ever wants to have a beautiful fur baby in their life. Thank you Cape Coral. You made our day! God Bless

We had an emergency situation on a Saturday morning and when I tell you this staff is AMAZING I am not exaggerating. Although they don't normally take walk ins they saw how worried and in distress my daughter and I were about our pomeranian Twinkie and the doctor agreed to see her if we were willing to wait. The entire staff was super accommodating, professional and empathetic. Dr. Blum is excellent; he listens, is gentle and very knowledgable. The cost for check ups and procedures is very reasonable. This is our new Vet Clinic hands down!

Great caring shelter! We adopted our wonderful Milo there and can't thank them enough for rescuing him. He's the sweetest, most loving dog we've ever had!
