Here's what people are saying about the service they receive from the Clackamas County Dog Shelter:
- Thank you. This is a great service!
- It is very heartening to know that your shelter would have taken in the dog I found on the coast. I really appreciate your kindness and your offer, especially knowing how well you care for the dogs there in Clackamas County.
- I listed my dog, Ginger, on the web-site this morning and got a call less than a half-hour later from someone who had my dog. This was a GREAT service and helped to make a connection that probably wouldn't have been made otherwise. Thank you so much for this service (and please remove Ginger from the list of lost dogs).
- Clackamas County Animal Control is FANTASTIC! The caring people that make up the staff of this shelter amaze me over and over again with how loving, helpful, and responsible they are. They go out of there way to help place every single adoptable dog that walks through their door, and are kind and even with the dogs that are not adoptable. They seek out rescue options to the very last day, and do EVERYTHING possible to help a rescue help their shelter."
