Adopted!

ADOPTED!

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.

Pet meet and greets are by appointment only, so if you’d like to meet Lola, submit an application in advance by going to the shelter’s Adopting a Pet page at https://www.co.clatsop.or.us/animalcontrol/page/adopting-pet. Scroll to the bottom of the page for the application. Be sure to date it next to the signature line (applications are reviewed in the order they are received) and put the name of the animal you are interested in at the top. You can then save the application to your computer and email it to ac@co.clatsop.or.us. A shelter staff member will review it and call you to set up an appointment. Due to Covid restrictions, only two people are allowed in the shelter at one time and each visitor is asked several health-related questions before being allowed in.

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

Cindy 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 6, 2020

Cindy is almost fifteen, with a degenerative disc disease. She’s looking for a soft landing for her final years. Volunteers tell us, “Our Miss Cindy, a senior tuxedo female, is proving to be a nice, friendly and lovely lady cat after making the adjustment to temporary shelter life. She enjoys the usual under-ear and chin scratching and now, with the help of a daily medication, even likes to have her back petted. She is a larger-sized girl who will be a beautiful, quiet companion as the only cat in the household.”

Pet meet and greets are by appointment only, so if you’d like to meet Cindy, call the shelter at 503-861-7387 to set up an appointment. The shelter is open 11:00 to 4:00 Tuesday through Saturday. You can also fill out an application at the shelter’s Adopting a Pet page: https://www.co.clatsop.or.us/animalcontrol/page/adopting-pet. Scroll to the bottom of the page for the application.

Maya 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 November 29, 2020

This six-year-old American Bully mix is a favorite at the shelter. She is such a good girl – easy to get out of her kennel and excellent on a leash – that we use her at all of the dog walker orientations. Maya will require a fully fenced yard for playing and adventure and will need to meet any furry friends.

Pet meet and greets are by appointment only, so if you’d like to meet Maya, call the shelter at 503-861-7387 to set up an appointment. The shelter is open 11:00 to 4:00 Tuesday through Saturday. You can also fill out an application at the shelter’s Adopting a Pet page: https://www.co.clatsop.or.us/animalcontrol/page/adopting-pet. Scroll to the bottom of the page for the application.

Your donations make it possible for CAA to provide help and hope for the dogs and cats in Clatsop County. Because of you, we’re able to provide veterinary care for the shelter animals – from wellness check-ups for kittens to life-saving surgeries.

Did you know that CAA volunteers feed and medicate, socialize and walk, love and protect our local shelter animals? CAA volunteers devote their lunch breaks, weekends, and holidays – rain or shine – to provide daily care for Clatsop County Animal Shelter dogs and cats. Volunteers transport sick animals long distances to see specialists, and foster animals when special care is needed. CAA volunteers fundraise, run social media campaigns, and consult with potential adoptees – all help get our cats and dogs into safe and loving homes as quickly as possible. There are no paid employees here – just animal lovers.

With that in mind, join CAA’s Pup Strut and Kitty Cuddle 2020! Donate any amount that feels good- because we can’t do it without you. The cats and dogs of Clatsop County thank you!

Here are some photos from this year’s participants!
