“My girl Shasta has been with me for about 9 months now. I knew from the second I saw her picture that she was my dog. We have been on a ton of adventures, traveled to different states, and met many friends. She was given up because of her reactive behavior to other dogs. After some love and patience (and a lot of dog training) she has two best friends. Her cousin and her brother. She just turned 5 and had the best birthday with so many more to come!”

Omi was adopted this fall. His people tell us that they are overjoyed by him and his intense eyes. “He is a spunky little ball of fluff but he is so sweet and always chirps and meows when he wakes up and sees his loving hoomans.”
This in from Miles’ mom: “My name is Miles, named that after six plus months of traveling and surviving in the forest. I was exhausted and relieved to arrive at Clatsop County Animal Shelter in February 2020. All my new human friends loved me and I could relax!
My first experience in a home, when fostered March 2020, brought me joy! Soon I was playing with toys and my new mom. I tried to play with my older new friend Beauty but she preferred to sleep. Very soon my mom was telling me that I was home and we would be together always.
Some noises still do frighten me but mom helps me with love and security. I’ve settled in and I’m now the king of my home!”
