A huge thank you to Fort George Brewery for hosting Clatsop Animal Assistance for their August Benefit Night!

Between Fort George’s generous donation of 10% of dine-in and to-go sales and the supporters who stopped by our table to purchase merchandise and make individual donations, the evening raised approximately $3,500 for CAA!

Fort George has supported CAA and our work in so many ways over the years, and we’re incredibly grateful to have been selected as a Benefit Night recipient.

And, of course, thank you to everyone who came out, said hello, grabbed a bite or a beer, bought some CAA gear, or made a donation. Your support helps us continue to care for shelter animals and animals in need throughout our community.

From all of our animals, staff, and volunteers, thank you, Fort George, for being such a wonderful community partner!

Many know Liz through her music as Grouper, with work that has reached audiences around the world. We’re also lucky to know her as a CAA supporter, volunteer, and friend to Clatsop County’s shelter animals.

Several years ago, Liz created Let It Come to You, a compilation featuring music from a number of artists, with proceeds benefiting Clatsop Animal Assistance. She still has a limited number of CDs from the project and, at tonight’s sold-out Liberty Theatre performance, she’ll once again be donating the proceeds from their sales to CAA.

We’re incredibly grateful to Liz for continuing to support our work. If you’re lucky enough to have a ticket tonight, keep an eye out for the CDs, and enjoy an incredible show!

Thank you, Liz!

Tickets are now on sale!

Liz Harris has spent over twenty years creating deeply atmospheric music as Grouper, earning widespread acclaim for albums including Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill, Ruins, and Shade. Her work has quietly influenced countless artists while remaining entirely her own.

Opening the evening is Marisa Anderson, described by The New Yorker as "one of the most distinctive guitar players of her generation." Her beautifully expressive guitar compositions blend blues, gospel, jazz, country, and modern classical influences into something completely unique.

Don't miss this extraordinary evening of immersive music.

Meet Quincy! 🐾
Quincy is a one-year-old, 43-pound Heeler mix with gorgeous blue eyes and a uniquely handsome tan and white coat. He’s a fun-loving young guy with the kind of personality that can brighten just about any day. He plays well with other dogs in our shelter playgroups, although his youthful enthusiasm can sometimes be a little much for some of his would-be canine friends.

Quincy loves going for walks, though he’s still learning the ABCs of good leash etiquette. He responds well to correction and is eager to learn. He’ll also happily play fetch forever and a day. Quincy would do well in a loving home with someone willing to spend a little time helping him learn proper doggie manners. In return, this sweet, happy little guy has so much love and companionship to give. Come meet Quincy and see if he might be the one you’ve been looking for.

Shelter Hours
Tuesday–Saturday, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM

Meet Mindful, our handsome blue-eyed gentleman who is learning that the shelter comes with Churu, head scratches… and some pretty nice humans. 💙

At 11 years old, Mindful has a gentle, sensitive nature. Shelter life has understandably made him a little shy, but every day we are seeing more of the sweet boy underneath. Churu treats have proven to be an excellent icebreaker, and he is becoming more comfortable leaning into head scratches, offering little headbutts, and letting people into his world.

And those eyes! Mindful is a gorgeous Siamese boy with brilliant blue eyes, soft coloring, and the sort of quietly beautiful presence that makes you stop and look twice.

He isn’t the cat who will necessarily rush to the front demanding attention. Mindful is the one who asks you to give him a little time and then rewards your patience by showing you just how loving he can be.

He deserves a soft landing, a peaceful home, and someone who understands that some of the very best relationships are the ones you earn gently.

Come meet Mindful at Clatsop County Animal Shelter. 💙

Success Story Sunday 🎉🎉
From shelter pet to beloved family member, we love celebrating the incredible bonds formed at the Clatsop County Animal Shelter.

🏡 The Adoption Moment
Marigold formerly Apricot, was scratching at the sliding glass door in the cat room, saying "pick me!".

🧡 Life at Home Today
Marigold is a wonderful addition to our family. She gets the zoomies a lot and is very much a people cat. She has to be with me constantly and loves her big dog, Trooper. My grandson calls her Mischief and her partner in crime, Trooper the dog, Trouble.

💌 A Message from the Adopter
If you're thinking about adopting, adopt because there are so many cats and dogs in shelters needing homes that are loveable.

Thank you to Marigold's family for giving her the loving forever home she truly deserves! Are you ready to find your own success story? Come visit our adoptable animals! 🐕🐈
