Following an urgent plea on Friday, November 7, 2025, MCAS saw a tremendous response from the community, alleviating its immediate critical capacity crisis. Adopters and fosters still urgently needed!
MCAS is providing context for 2019 Asilomar report figures- live release outcomes, humane euthanasia considerations, and increasing life-saving capacity.
Can you help? MCAS is seeking Volunteer Animal Transport Drivers to support shelter animals receiving spay or neuter surgery from veterinary partners before adoption, and for animal transfers.
In response to mounting challenges in animal welfare, five local shelters are joining forces for Adopt ASAP, a major adoption event happening Friday, October 25 to Sunday, October 27.
Thousands of Oregonians, their livestock, and their animals are displaced following Oregon’s devastating wildfires.
The shelter is open for dog adoptions, while intake for new dogs is still closed. There have been no additional deaths or new cases of Streptococcus zooepidemicus (SZ) in the adoption kennels.
The Animal Shelter Alliance of Portland (ASAP) is updating how it reports animals. New reports will match the Shelter Animals Count (SAC) national database.
