Thank you to the community for participating in our outreach event on Saturday, July 25, 2026 at PetSmart Gresham!
There were 14 adoptions, including 11 kittens, 2 dogs, and 1 cat! See event photos!

On July 8, 2026, three dogs transferred from MCAS to the Washington State Department of Corrections K-9 Training Program graduated from the program along with their new handlers.

You all know and love him as Garbanzo, our sweet, long-term resident dog. But today, his story took the most unbelievable turn when Bubba (Garbanzo) was reunited with his original family!

Crispy the cat (formerly Eddie) is the sweetest, most snuggly little buddy in his adoptive home.

Pepper the dog is settling into her home and leaving the cat to do her thing! Her adopter is working hard on manners training and some serious dog park and daycare running.

A big thank you to Melissa Etheridge; Amy Ray and Emily Saliers of The Indigo Girls; and Monqui Presents for their support of adoption and fostering at their Edgefield performance on July 28, 2025.

Fostering can be a family and community affair, as in the case of Laverne the kitten. A young neighbor visited regularly to socialize Laverne, and made a picture as a gift for her adopter, Carolyn.

We're thrilled to announce that MCAS is sporting some fantastic newly wrapped transport vans, thanks to the incredible generosity of Friends of Multnomah County Shelter Animals, and our community!

Hope the dog was severely underweight when rescued by Animal Services Field Officers. Hope regained her health in a volunteer foster home. Now adopted, Hope helps her new sibling dogs thrive.

The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution that advances replacing the Animal Services shelter by authorizing the next steps in planning a new facility.
