Not very helpful or trustful. Called to make a report of a dog bite from my neighbors dog. I got a case number, and never heard from them. To retaliate though, the neighbor who owns the dog who attacked me was able to get a quick response from them about a false Leash Law Violation we got hit with. Disappointed in how they handle a dog bite to a human but how quickly they responded to her false allegation of a leash law violation. Wrote this in hopes it helps someone who may have experienced this. They do not care and will not respond to you. Unless you falsely allege a leash law violation which they seem to be very quick to respond to that.

When I was looking for a pittie to join our family, I found Luna. They described her as "the wiggliest" and they weren't lying. She's such a goofball, happy, and loved. When they brought her out she was soooooooo happy. Which leads me to believe the dogs they have are well loved and cared for.

We submitted multiple animal nuisance complaints over a year and a half, using the official submission form and following their exact requirements. That included multiple audio files to demonstrate that the dog next door was barking for long periods of time that we could hear in all parts of our house. The dog was also allowed to roam free in the neighborhood and would come onto our lawn, tearing up dirt and barking at us and people who would walk by. The dog would sometimes be left out overnight and start barking between 12-3am. We had to move because it caused us so much stress and anxiety. We were repeatedly snubbed by this agency. They always found an excuse not to take action. Their last response says: "The audio/video evidence showed that due to provocation it did not meet the required unprovoked 10 minutes of repeated barking or intermittent episodes of barking lasting a minimum of 30 minutes. Provocation includes: other dog barking, construction noise, pedestrian traffic/noise, children playing nearby, etc." There were none of those sounds in the audio we sent. If a human stood in their yard and screamed every time someone walked by, they'd be locked up for sure. Why are dogs allowed to do that? Animal Services' solution: to give the owner a pamphlet... the same pamphlet that we gave the owner a year and a half ago in our attempts to work directly with them on the issue. Shame on this agency for contributing to the decline of Portland.

Everyone I met today at Multnomah County Animal Services, were so nice, it was almost like talking to family! We adopted Shelby, formerly known as Bethany, from here today, and what a precious pup she is, we absolutely love her! My Munchkin cat who hates all other animals is smitten with her too, so, BONUS! The people who work and volunteer here, and just about any shelter, have a very hard job, that is hard work, rewarding, frustrating, and at times heartbreaking. Please let them know that they are appreciated, because these services they provide arent just good for the animals, it's good for the whole community.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to pay. You just need photo evidence it's your dog and you need so sign a couple papers. My german shepherd was just taken there very recently and that's all we had to do.

I live in a condo minimum community. What is the best way to handle roaming cats whose owners live on the property? I’m at a loss. One of them literally came on my patio and pooped.

Francine Tocci | Aug 16, 2019
J. Schlotthauer | Aug 16, 2019

Spray apple vinegar or vinegar diluted with water anywhere you don't want the cats to hang out, like on your patio. They don't like the smell. If you get the chance, spray them too. Won't hurt them a bit.

I have a momma cat, approx. 2 yrs. Good cat, needs spayed. Two girls 5 mos., 1 male needs nuetered, also 5mos. They are all healthy. Can I surrender them to MCHS?, And what would it cost?

Misy Bunzey | Aug 16, 2019
Angle Mathison | Aug 16, 2019

It would be cheaper to drop them off as strays and then tell the person when you drop them off that you want first priority when they are able to be adopted. It would be free to drop them off as strays and it would be around $200 at most to pick them back up. And they would be up to date on shots and fixed.

Edna Davis | Aug 16, 2019
Kate VanLooven | Aug 16, 2019

We have small dogs that come in all the time. As long as they aren't under 7 months old, or have extra special needs they will be on the special. The staff updates which animals are available for adoption each night on the website. www.multcopets.org

Where can I adopt a dog that won't cost me $200 or more in adoption fees? I want to give a dog a home, and the adoption fees are cost prohibitive.

Diana Bauer | Aug 16, 2019
Brandy Trotter | Aug 16, 2019

MCAS is currently running an adoption special. The adoption fee equals the date. So, if you adopted today, your fee would be $19 for any dog over 7 months old.

If a dog comes in dehydrated or in need of medical attention, do they get care there?

Margaret Boyd | Aug 16, 2019
Erin Murphy | Aug 16, 2019

Yes! They have staff doctors :) However, if the animal needs more immediate care, they have partnered clinics around the metro area who can triage before they are later admitted to the shelter.

20 months is still a puppy if you just adopted them take advantage of the free vet exam, also start handling them young,if you do,you will be able to brush their teeth, something you can do.just make sure you dont use human toothpaste please get dog toothpaste. Your dog at age 20 months is a puppy you have time.
