Clatsop County Animal Control and Shelter provides care and protection for hundreds of homeless, unwanted, abandoned and abused or neglected dogs and cats. We respond to complaints of stray dogs, nuisance dogs, dog bites and to reports of animal abuse in the unincorporated areas. We find new loving homes for dogs and cats. We issue licenses for dogs and other pets.
1. Pick out an animal you would like to meet and potentially adopt, either by going online or visiting the shelter and viewing available animals posted on the front door. After an animal is chosen, spend time with the pet. 2. Fill out a 2-page adoption application. 3. Then, make an appointment to meet the pet. Application must be submitted prior to appointment via email or in person completed before your appointment. If the application is not completed the appointment will be canceled. 4. At the appointment, all members of household must meet the pet. For dog adoptions, all resident dogs must meet new pet. 5. For dogs, an appointment for a home visit will be made. This is to help you have a successful adoption. 6. After the home visit is completed and approved, an appointment will be made with the veterinarian to have your new family member spayed or neutered.
