We're pleased to announce a brand new service for lost pet owners in Multnomah County. MCAS will now be periodically creating videos of the lost cats and dogs in our intake kennels and posting the videos on our web site. It is our goal to reunite as many lost animals with their owners as possible. We still recommend that people come out to the shelter in person whenever possible, but we hope that having this service available between visits will be helpful for owners of lost pets.

MCAS is thrilled to announce that we recently received a $71,500 donation from The Friends of the Shelter, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for MCAS. In the past, The Friends have donated funds to us for the construction of our cattery and hospital area. The most current donation will be used for four purposes:

Multnomah County Animal Services (MCAS) is an animal rescue shelter and an animal control agency. Responsible for the city of Portland and neighboring communities in Multnomah County, our officers are responsible for performing animal abuse and cruelty investigations. We also offer dog and cat licensing, lost and found pet services, and animal adoptions through our shelter in Troutdale.

02/01/2012 - 10:55am

Brady is the K013 Pet of the Week! He's a brilliant and active young man looking for a home who will provide daily exercise, guidance, and training to help him into adulthood. He's still young and has a lot to learn, like how hard is too hard when taking a treat! The shelter will require that his adopter take classes with him and is not recommending him for a home with young kids. He's cute and easy to train- he's sure to charm someone! Maybe you? He's about 6 months of age and weighs 44lbs.

Porter and Percy were our K103 Pets of the Week today! They're brothers that came in to the shelter together but will adjust and flourish once separated.  Shy at first, once you connect with them, they are sold on you (lots of licks, kisses, and wiggles). We know these boys will be great canine citizens when they complete their required classes. You may view Porter and Percy's profiles here.
