Lincoln County Animal Shelter

There are great people working here. I got separated from my dogs while on a hike near Cape Perpetua. A good Samaritan found them and took them to LCAS in Newport. Because my dogs were microchipped they had my contact information and contacted me. After spending 3 hours in the mountains looking for them I was very relieved to know they were safe and well cared for. I appreciate all of the effort that was made to reunite us.

These folks are Angels! We rescued 9 kittens and 2 Mommy cats, and they have taken perfect care of both families. Everyone is spayed and neutered, and we just adopted the last remaining kittens. I am grateful for them, and all they have done. I will never forget the rest of my Demon Cupcakes!

After about seven months of being alone in the mtns on the edge of a vast and lushes forest I’ve lost my will to adventure my dog Timber has been absent from my side and absent of his freedom after being harassed for months and baited unto being trapped and taken from my property , timber was my girlfriends daughters dog inwich stayed with me while the sweet paisley was with her mom in the valley . Timber is a free soul as we all are every living thing by gods will . Ive been trapped for months with an anxiety of dangerous possibility’s that timber was able to make me feel safer as I forage for food and fire wood to get me through the winters . One day he was gone I looked for my little buddy for six days with little sleep thinking the worst thinking my dog was hurt by the wild , timber never stayed out all night he was always home by dark and this was my fault I some times would leave him at home due to work and timber had different ways of thinking he would set out to look for me up and down the hwy and every time just a step behind . After six days of looking for my friend driving through three tanks of fuel and calling his name to the point of exhausting my words I finely herd someone down the hill say the lincoln county sheriffs have been setting traps and baited him in all this because timber was faster and smarter then they’re controlling of animals officer . Some girlfriend and her daughter drove to Newport but only to return home without timber stating that they wanted me to come down there to sign for him and receive over a thousand dollars in fines for dog at large . I feel this is due to the fact that they wanted me to register timber with them and I refused . Timber was not they’re dog nor mine I fed him yes but he was his own soul and I would never want to be chained so why would I chain timber and when u register with another u giving part ownership over to them . This is a way of controlling people for revenue I’ve worked on my property only to take care of my father buster p Kittel and timber as well as myself . Timber was kidnapped then held for ransom after a week of work I finely got enough money to bail him out but when I was checking my calls I found a message from the lincoln county animal control telling me timber was missing I was livid I live I. The mtns I don’t have what many of u have but I do have trees and wildlife as far as I can see and timber enjoyed all of this but now he’s lost far away over several mtn tops and rivers he has never been to I set out on the back roads towards Toledo from Risley creek rd hoping that my dog would remember the smells of one of many journeys we took together I never found timber . Then they called again they found timber I was so happy I had tears that were soon turned to fire . They found timber less than a quarter mile from my property line and twenty five miles from where they had caged him he was homeward bound so close . I asked them why the didn’t bring him home and they once again wanted me to come down but now I’m worried now he want to trap me and after several weeks of stress and confusion I was exhausted my truck has issues and money was spent I now new they wanted me to to come get timber and the financial impairment of they’re ways to pay they’re bills fines fines fines . They lost my dog after baiting him and trapping him and wanted my money forcefully by ransomed dog . I couldn’t bail my dog out I hadn’t the money and they would not release him to any one but me all because we have had a difference of thinking towards gods will unto us as living people this is all because I would not tolerate nor conform the system as they wanted me to . Controlling officers stole my friend my dog my sep daughters dog my security in the woods my only security . I’m still thinking about timber and want him to no how sorry I am for now your back yard is not what it used to be timber this mtn will always be yours I just wish u would have been left alone

I will admit that I volunteer here, and from what I've seen behind the scenes they truly care about every animal that passes through their care and make them as comfortable as possible. They have adoptable cats out front in rooms so you can just walk in and meet some furry friends. For the dogs, they have a great system where you read descriptions of the dogs available for adoption, and then you meet them individually out in the yard. This is instead of the difficult experiences I have had going back in the kennels to meet dogs at other shelters, with all the barking and noise that goes on when a person walks through. They also make adoption affordable and do everything they can to accommodate people adopting their animals. I got my dog here and they had him neutered, shots updated, and rotten teeth removed before putting him up for adoption--it made it so easy to welcome our fur baby into our home! This is a great shelter with great staff. Please please consider adopting an animal from this place if you're looking.
