Unable to kick scammers off their page, the Columbia Gorge Humane Society — which relies on donations and fundraisers promoted through Facebook — is unsure how it will feed the 55 dogs and cats in its care.

It’s with a heavy heart that we share Deborah Wood passed away earlier this week. Debbie was the manager of Washington County Animal Services and the Bonnie Hays Animal Shelter from December 2008 until her retirement in 2017.

Debbie leaves a lasting legacy as an author, newspaper columnist, animal advocate, dog trainer and even a Jeopardy contestant! She was deeply involved in animal welfare and dog training, and was very proud of her work in those areas. Debbie was even a founding member of the Animal Shelter Alliance of Portland (ASAP), which is a coalition of local animal organizations dedicated to making the Portland metro region a safer place for pets.

We are grateful for all Debbie did to positively impact the lives of both the people and pets of Washington County.

The second surprise to start my day:
I had to drive to Marin to pick up some copies of my new book for the San Diego seminar this weekend and learned that Barking Up the Right Tree 'sold out' before it was even released and so, they had to do a second printing. Whoooopeeeee!

We’re recruiting for a new Volunteer Coordinator; Cindy, our outstanding, long-term coordinator is moving out of state in September. While we can’t replace her, we are hoping to find one or perhaps two people who can step into this role and train with Cindy before she leaves. What does the Volunteer Coordinator do? Provides volunteers for GPA Northwest events, activities, and functions as requested by board members, committee chairs and other coordinators to assure adequate numbers of volunteers for these activities, like our Playdates, Hound Wash, Winter Sale, Annual Picnic. The Coordinator maintains a list of active volunteers’ contact information, sends group email messages to recruit volunteers for specific events, provides for training needed by volunteers for the event, attends or arranges for volunteer coordination at events. This may be a good role for two people, one to do the pre-event communications with our volunteers, and another to attend events as point person for volunteers and assure smooth operations. This is such an important role for our fun and fundraising events. If interested or need more info, contact Cindy at [email protected]

I am sad to report Babe the Greyhound has passed of cancer after a long, happy life. She was an important Ambassa-dog for Greyhound Pet Adoption NW, helping countless families learn how to foster and adopt retired racers. Godspeed Babe, I hope Sadie is greeting you over the rainbow bridge!

A dog imported from South Korea into western Canada last October brought along a dangerous hitchhiker: the Asia-1 strain of canine distemper virus, which until then hadn’t been reported in North America.

NoPo folks...

When you see a dog walking down the street do you get all excited and say out loud "That dog is soooo cute!!!" and then wish you could pet it? Do you follow more animals on Instagram than people? Do...
