Volunteering at the Clatsop County Animal Shelter

CAA Happy Tails Holiday Fundraiser
The Clatsop Animal Assistance 2021 virtual Happy Tails Holiday Fundraiser is in full swing now through New Year’s Day. Please join us in celebrating the animals in our lives and the ones still waiting for loving homes at the Clatsop County Animal Shelter. Thanks to all of you for your continuing support. You make it possible for CAA to provide help and hope for the homeless dogs and cats in Clatsop County.
Keeping Everyone Safe and Healthy at the Animal Shelter with Adoptions by Appointment Only
Like other organizations in the area, the shelter has established new procedures to minimize everyone’s exposure to the COVID-19 virus. First, all licensing must be done by mail while an online system is being set up. Sorry, no walk-ins.
If you’d like to visit with one of our dogs or cats, you will need to call and make an appointment at 503-861-7387. The shelter will be taking appointments from 11:00 to 4:00 Tuesday through Saturday. If the line is busy you can leave a message and the staff will call you back. Note that you will be asked several health-related questions before you are allowed in.
Only two people are allowed in the shelter at any one time, so if a larger group of you wants to visit a dog, you can meet up outside. Only one person and one volunteer are allowed in the cat room at a time.
The shelter has lots of pups and kitties who would love to find homes, so please check out who’s available at Petfinder (https://www.petfinder.com/member/us/or/warrenton/clatsop-county-animal-control-services-or53/) and follow CAA’s Facebook page for more in-depth profiles of our available animals at https://www.facebook.com/ClatsopAnimalAssistance/. Again, the phone number for questions or to make an appointment is 503-861-7387.
Thank you for your patience!
