A
s anyone who’s seen their ubiquitous
flyers, read or heard their “Pet of the
Week” selections, or attended one of
their adoption events can tell you, Clatsop Animal
Assistance is the best friend a homeless pet could
have. Thanks to their volunteers, the organization has
helped place the 180 dogs and 246 cats successfully
adopted from the county shelter in the past year.
