🐾 Meet Ginger! 🐾

This gorgeous girl is ready to find her forever home! Ginger is about a year old and has the sweetest little chirpy meow—she still sounds like a kitten!

She’s been learning to be more outgoing and loves to show off her adorable prairie dog stance, standing up on two feet like the curious kitty she is. Ginger would love a patient adopter who will let her settle in at her own pace, and once she’s comfortable, she’ll be your sweetest companion. Could that be you? Come meet her at Clatsop County Animal Shelter!

Meet Alder! 💛

Who wants a yellow dog?? 🤩 Alder is a seven year old yellow lab who is full of sunshine and tippy-tappy toes. As pups come, he is as sweet as can be. Alder is gentle and easy to walk, loves being around people and is eager to please.

He does well with other dogs, and came into our care with his pal, Koda a six year old black lab mix (more on her very soon!).

Alder will do well in a home with mellow dogs, children, and anyone who shows him love. He is a good, good boy and wants to spend his days with a forever family. Open your heart and home to Alder….maybe Koda too. 👀

Peanut is our KMUN, THE ASTORIAN, 94.9 THE BRIDGE, and CLASSIC HITS 94.3 KRKZ Pet of the Week for the week of February 23, 2025.

Peanut is a sweet and lovely girl just looking for a lap to warm and a home to call her own. Peanut was previously adopted from the shelter but made her way back here recently after her the adopter was no longer able to care for her. We were glad to see her and provide her some much needed medical care.

Peanut was recently diagnosed with cancer and has successfully had the mass removed. At 11-years-old, this sweet girl knows what she likes - and at the top of that list is laps and cuddles.

Peanut is looking for a loving home where she can live her best life. If you are interested in providing this love bug a place to get cozy for the rest of her years, please call the shelter to meet Peanut today. She`s having a nice time in a loving foster home, but would really love to find her angel adopter who will give her the special love she deserves.

133 Days. That is how long this small but mighty little tank has been waiting for her furever home. This three-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier packs a lot of sweetness into her foot-high frame. We lovingly call her “Tiny Rhino” at the shelter.

Willow is the cutest snuffle lump. She does well on the leash and enjoys zooming around the play yard. Willow wants to be with people. A family working from home or looking for a traveling companion will find a best friend in Willow. She does need to be the home pet in the home. Please make an appointment to meet this gal; she brightens even the rainiest days.

Meet Bobby, the Orange Love Bug! 🧡🐾

This playful and affectionate young guy is as sweet as they come! At about a year old, Bobby is full of curiosity, charm, and just the right amount of mischief. He’s the kind of cat who will greet you at the door, follow you around for company, and melt into your arms when it’s time for snuggles.

Bobby recently had a little surgery to help with an eye condition, and he’s bouncing back like a champ—because nothing can dim this boy’s shine!

If you’re looking for a fun-loving feline with a heart of gold, Bobby might just be your perfect match. Come meet him at Clatsop County Animal Shelter and see for yourself!

Meet Rebel! 🤍

Little Rebel is a sweet young man with big soulful eyes and a tender heart. At just eight months old, this small boxer-pit mix shows all the signs that he will grow up to be a gentleman. He walks well on a leash, is gentle with volunteers, knows basic commands, and is a rockstar in playgroup.

When Rebel arrived at the shelter, he was underweight and in need of care. With consistent love, enrichment, nutrition, and socialization, he is thriving and is ready to join his forever family! He could do well in a home with other pets and dog-savvy children. Rebel is a go with the flow kind of pup and will happily settle right into your family routine.

Please make an appointment to meet Rebel today!

Meet Luna 🌙

Luna is a beautiful example of a mini house panther. At about 1 1/2 years old, this girl has a sleek, short, all-black coat and a long lean body. She's got big ears to hear all of the cute nicknames she gets called - like Luna Love or Lady Panther. Not only is she a stunner, Luna has a gentle purr that she turns on when you pick her up to give cuddles.

Luna has been brave at the shelter - accepting cuddles and head rubs from anyone ready to dole them out. She's ready to explore and live in her forever home with just the right family. If you have been waiting for the perfect black kitty to warm your lap and fill your heart, come meet Luna.

Buck has a lot of get-up-and-go and truly enjoys time in the play yard. True to his breed, Buck is protective and loyal. He can be reactive around dogs and will need a strong handler to help him get out and about.

He is a true blue friend and companion with a HUGE heart of gold. Buck immediately puts a smile on your face; he's just that kind of pup. ❤️

Success Story Sunday 🎉 June bug now Boo

June bug (now Penelope at the vet that removed her spay sutures) but I call her Boo!

She has adapted by degrees and is very responsive. She loves to be outside. Fortunately my house has views of the birds, occasional rabbit and deer with an acre of gardens overlooking the Columbia River.

I do not let her stay outside for more than a couple of hours each time and not after 6:30 at night.

Boo likes her several blanketed baskets near windows, sometimes her sherpa blankets on my bed and occasionally deigns to honor my lap as I watch tv in the evening!

Thank you for all you do!

~Honor

Meet Pearl ✨

Pearl is a lovely lady with a unique dilute tortie coat and bob tail.

She came in as a stray from Seaside so we don’t know much about her past. She’s been affectionate and loving at the shelter and she certainly was someone’s pet at some point.

We think she’s about 6 years old - a very perfect age for a kitty. She’s been shy at the shelter but LOVES laps and attention from volunteers. If you want a lovely kitty who wants nothing more than to warm your lap and get head rubs - consider Pearl.

Love! ♥️

Here’s the thing about love: it’s essential, and it’s everywhere. We might be biased, but we believe the love you receive from a shelter dog is the best kind of love.

Lucy and Rebel took a trip to celebrate Valentine’s Day, reminding us why love and friendship are the best! These two sweet, adoptable pups placed a CAA Love Lock on Pier 39 to represent unbreakable love.

Every adoptable dog or cat deserves everlasting love. Please make an appointment to meet all the love bugs available for adoption.
