Information sought on puppies found in bushes

New hours starting week of April 21!

Starting the week of April 21, the Bonnie Hays Animal Shelter will be open to the public Monday-Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for walk-in services. Phone service will be available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on those same days.

With our current staffing levels, we can only provide service to the public five days a week. We decided to close on Saturdays after determining that we receive noticeably fewer calls and visits on Saturdays than on weekdays. As always, we will continue providing care to pets at the shelter seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Remember, you can visit our website at any time to report a lost or found animal, view stray pets at the shelter, license your dog online, and more.

Washington County Animal Services is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the owner of two male Pitbull-type puppies with cropped ears. They were found in the bushes near the Salvation Army on Cypress Street in Hillsboro on the afternoon of Monday, July 10. The puppies were extremely undernourished. Their condition has been improving while under the care of Animal Services and the Bonnie Hays Animal Shelter. The puppies are not available for adoption. They will be placed in foster care for eventual adoption through a partner agency.

Animal Services is looking for any information that could help investigators determine how the puppies ended up in the bushes or in identifying the puppies’ owner. Contact Animal Services at 503-846-7041 or animal_services@washingtoncountyor.gov.
