The county animal shelter is always looking for volunteers to walk and socialize the dogs at the shelter. The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00 to 4:00. Volunteers first go through an orientation including a short video describing the shelter and rules for dog walking. To schedule an orientation, fill out the volunteer application at the bottom of county's "Volunteer at the animal shelter" page: https://www.clatsopcounty.gov/hr/page/volunteer-animal-shelter. Someone from the shelter will then contact you to set up the orientation. The shelter is currnetly over capacity and we are espeically interested in volunteers who might want to foster dogs, cats, or kittens on a short-term or long-term basis.

Mission Statement
Clatsop Animal Assistance, also known as CAA, is a 501(c) 3 all-volunteer organization dedicated to helping the Clatsop County Animal Shelter’s homeless pets. We support these animals by providing funds to pay for veterinary care, spay/neuter fees, medicines, cat litter, grooming, specialty-diet foods, and other supplies not covered by the shelter budget. We promote the shelter animals by providing advertising and promotional materials and by sponsoring adoption events. CAA helps turn hardship and suffering into happy endings, sending a message of compassion and caring for animals out into the community.
Description
Welcome to Clatsop Animal Assistance. We are located in Warrenton Oregon (just outside of Astoria). Clatsop Animal Assistance, Inc. (CAA) is a non-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to promoting and providing for the needs of the Clatsop County Animal Shelter’s homeless pets. We also promote animal adoption as the first option. CAA volunteers work hard to improve the quality of life for these animals, most directly by assisting the Clatsop County Animal Shelter, which has limited resources with which to deal with strays and unwanted pets within Clatsop County.
- CAA pays for veterinary care as well as antibiotics and other critical medicines that aren’t covered in the shelter’s budget. CAA also pays a portion of the spay/neuter fees for animals adopted out of the shelter.
- CAA purchases cat litter and other supplies, and pays for grooming costs not covered by the shelter’s budget.
- CAA supports the shelter’s adoption program, by sponsoring promotional ads, through our social media posts and byholding adoption events.
- CAA is committed to reducing pet overpopulation: we support spay/neuter programs financially and work to educate the public on the importance of spaying or neutering their pets.
