Lola’s Road Trip

Volunteers Natalie and Sue recently took Lola on a little adventure to get her out of the shelter, explore and have some fun. Natalie reports, “As it turns out Lola is amazing in a car! She likes to look out of the window to see where she’s headed and then she happily curls up to nap. We made sure to cover the backseat in blankets and her dog bed for an extra comfy ride.

Our first stop was Multnomah Falls. We went for a hike, sniffed around and even posed for a photo op in front of the falls. Lola was so polite to all of the other visitors and even got to play in the snow…something we don’t see very often on the coast! Lola met a family and proved again how well behaved she is with children; she used to live with kids and really likes them. A new friend offered Lola a treat, which she took very gently, as always. We kept driving and on our next walk Lola met two male dogs and walked very nicely by their side while wagging her tail. We were so proud of her good manners. Our last stop was lunch (Lola lucked out) before finally heading back home to the shelter.

One day very soon we are hoping home for Lola is with a loving family. She would prefer to curl up on a couch, in the sun if possible, with her new owner petting the top of her head as she falls asleep…that is our wish for you, dear Lola. Hopefully your next trip will be home.”

Bonded pair Astrid and Irene are our KMUN, THE ASTORIAN, 94.9 THE BRIDGE, WARRENTON KIA, and HITS 94.3 KRKZ Pets of the Week for the week of February 28, 2021

Diane tells us, “Astrid and Irene are a pair of female tabby cats who have just arrived in the cat adoption room at the Shelter.  A nicer set of girls you will not find.  They wait patiently for their canned cat food in the afternoon with no meowing or fussing.  They were okay with another new boy cat, Mason, visiting them in their kennel and making himself at home there until he left to do some exploring.  These girls love their petting time and have made the adjustment to their temporary quarters with no problem.  They would love to be together in a new home.”

Lola is our KMUN, THE ASTORIAN, 94.9 THE BRIDGE, WARRENTON KIA, and HITS 94.3 KRKZ Pet of the Week for the week of February 7, 2021

We all adore this girl and are hoping to find her a home very soon. She loves the sun (not much of that lately!) and snuggle time “including a big dose of whole body rubs and scratches” according to a volunteer who has spent lots of time with her at the shelter. Lola is always up for walks – she does well on the leash – and play time with all the volunteers. After that she’s ready to sit and watch the world go by. She’ll make a great couch buddy; she just needs a couch and a companion.

Lola is an American Staffordshire terrier mix and is about six and a half years old. She will need a home with a fully fenced yard and no cats, and she’ll need to meet any other dogs in the household since she can be picky. Lola has a few easily managed allergies, including reactions to grass and chicken. But give her salmon, fish or peanut butter treats and she will sit and shake and   maybe even learn new tricks; what a good girl.

Watch her in action.

Dominick is our KMUN, THE ASTORIAN, 94.9 THE BRIDGE, WARRENTON KIA, HITS 94.3 KRKZ, and CLATSOP NEWS Pet of the Week for the week of December 20, 2020

Diane tells us, “Our tuxedo boy Dominic has been waiting for a family to adopt him for a very long time now.  As written previously, he doesn’t care that much for other cats, but does tolerate them to an extent.  However, dogs are another story.  It appears that he prefers to be friends with dogs rather than cats.  This is not the case with most of our adult cats, especially those who have lived as strays.   Dominic is our go-to cat for testing how a dog will behave around cats which he enjoys so much, even rubbing up against the dog.  We hope someone whose dog needs a pal will consider Dominic.”

Please consider Dominic today!!! Call the shelter at 503-861-7387 if you’d like to make an appointment to meet him. The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday 11:00 to 12:30 and 1:30 to 4:00.  https://www.petfinder.com/cat/dominic-48920170/or/warrenton/clatsop-county-animal-control-services-or53/ or http://clatsopcounty.animalshelternet.com/adoption_animal_details.cfm?AnimalUID=240060
