How can I pay for my dog’s license?
How did my dog end up at the shelter?
There are lots of ways that lost dogs and cats end up at our shelter. Sometimes they are brought to us by a Good Samaritan who finds them and sometimes we get them from vet clinics or law enforcement agencies. Dogs are often picked up by one of our Animal Service Officers who keep them safe until they can be returned to you.

I need help with my dog’s behavior. What can I do?
We are not able to refer community members to specific trainers, but we recommend talking with your veterinarian to rule out medical reasons for the behavior problem and for referrals to behavior resources. Additional behavior and training resources can be found on the ASAP Coalition Resource page.
I want to volunteer at the shelter. What kind of opportunities do you offer and how do I sign up?
We are not recruiting volunteers right now. We encourage you to check with other local shelters and rescues about their volunteer opportunities.

I’m having issues with wildlife where I live, what can I do?
Animal Services is not authorized to handle wildlife. You should contact the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife or a pest control service depending on your need.
If my rabies vaccine has expired, can I license my dog anyway?
Yes, you can still buy a license for your dog even if your rabies vaccination has expired. But, the license will not be valid until we get the rabies certificate. Contact your veterinarian to schedule your dog’s rabies vaccination and let them know that you need a certificate to give to us.
If You Find an Injured Animal
If you’re not doing adoptions, what happens to pets at the shelter?
Any pet who would have gone through our previous adoption service is being transferred to one of our partners to find a new home through their adoption program.
