South Pacific County Humane Society

Usually there is a small processing or adoption fee which varies from state to state then you have to provide shots and health documentation of check up on dog at veterinarian office so there’s up to usually $200 total to adopt depending on what breed and what condition the dog is in and how much care it will need to not be a health risk

Great question, Harold. We have staff and volunteers checking on the animals, walking and feeding when the shelter is closed. We simply don't have enough volunteers to be open more hours. But make no mistake: animal care is our #1 priority. When we are short of human help, animal care is job one: that's why we aren't open more hours.

I thought the Humane society was having a sale this weekend to raise money.

Yes, they do

They just want to make sure the animal is not going to come back to them

It wasn't a dog in the shelters care, the dog was from the Raymond area. They were sharing a post to let people know that if they have one of the puppies, to please bring it to the vet and get a heartworm test done.

On behalf of the kits, thank you! We're open 11-3, Tuesday through Saturday at 330 Second St NE. Or, if it is in a plastic tub, safe from the wind and rain, you can drop it in the enclosed area outside our front door when we're closed. Thanks again!

It depends on where the dog is; in the cities of Ilwaco and Long Beach, contact the Long Beach Police. Elsewhere on the peninsula, contact the Pacific County Sheriff's Department. You're also welcome to file a report with us but this should be in addition to contacting law enforcement as there is no animal control locally. When you file with us, we are able to help build a case. Stop by or give us a call at 360-642-1180.

Ocean Beach animal clinic

Why did you steal my dog after only 3 days and then sell her "a service animal" . Would that make you thieves and liers?

Yes i believe they board dogs

We don't actually provide spay/neuter services here at the shelter; Oceanside Animal Clinic provides most of these services to us at reduced fees for our homeless pets. We are so very grateful to our community for funding the homeless pets' medical costs! You can get more info on OAC at http://oceansideveterinary.com

We don't alter pets here at the shelter. Our primary veterinarians are at Oceanside Animal Clinic in Seaview - highly recommended! If you are low income, we may be able to help you out with a partial pay voucher; stop by the shelter or give us a call for details. We hope you're enjoying your giant pup!

Please bring or send a photo of Cole to the Shelter so we can help get the word out and get him found. We also need location last seen and anything unique about him that would help him be recognized or captured.

Please bring or send a photo of your cat to the Shelter so we can use our network to help get the word out about Castiel. We'll also need to know the date and location he was last seen. Thanks.

We absolutely scan for chips when pets come to us.

No. They do not sell medications of any kind. Heartguard can be purchased at the local vet, Oceanside Animal Clinic.

I can't answer your question without knowing the specific pet and it's medical situation. I can respond generally in terms of the vet-approved protocols at the Shelter. SPCHS staff sometime administer medication without a vet visit; there are many factors in making this decision. Generally speaking, when symptoms indicate an illness is present that is seen frequently and can be readily diagnosed, and treatment safely begun before seeing a vet, meds are sometimes administered–especially if the pathogen is highly contagious. Our staff is in nearly daily contact with our veterinarians; these decisions are not made lightly or without consult. Examples would be if the pet was exposed to, and is susceptible to, feline HPV-1, canine & feline parvo, distemper, influenza (H3N8), or ringworm. The symptomatic animal goes into isolation and other pets that had exposure are closely watched and immediately treated if symptoms develop.

Generally, no. But we do make exceptions as resources allow. All pets are screened for illnesses and behavior issues prior to intake. Pets not from South Pacific County are held to a higher standard when it comes to this screening because we have to ensure we have the resources to take care of the homeless pets in our mission area. For example, we are unable to take on an out-of-county dog with significant rehabilitation needs as we simply don't have the kennel space and people to do the rehabilitation over the time that is required. But a dog that is readily adoptable would likely find a way in.
