We are Clackamas County Dog Service
As much as we try to update these listings everyday we cannot guarantee that the
animal you want to see will still be available as this shelter is open to the
public daily.
We are always more than happy to work with Rescues.
If you see a dog you like you must VISIT the
Shelter. We are not able to do sight unseen adoptions.
DO NOT CALL.

| Location: | Clackamas County Dog Services 2104 Kaen Road Oregon City, OR 97045 |
| Phone: | (503) 655-8628 (503) 722-6519 |
| Adoption Viewing Hours: | Tuesday – Saturday 12:30 - 4:30 p.m. |
| Application: | Written application required (Download it) |
| Waiting Period: | There is a minimum 24 hour waiting period between applying for adoption and picking up your new pet |
| Spay/Neuter Requirement: | We require that all dogs adopted from us be spayed or neutered |
Adoption Fees:
Included with the cost of adoption, all adopting families receive:
| Dogs that arrive at the shelter spayed or neutered |
$ 53 |
| Dogs that arrive fertile and are spayed or neutered while in our care |
$113 |
| Dogs that arrived fertile and leave the shelter fertile |
$130 |
Adopters that adopt a fertile animal will be given information on how they can obtain a low-cost spay/neuter procedure for that dog. If they return to the kennel within 30 days with a receipt for that procedure on their adopted pet, CCDC will arrange to have a refund check of $40.00 mailed to their home. (Some veterinarians will deduct $40 from the cost of their spay/neuter invoice so that families do not need to bring the receipt to us. If your vet deducts $40 from the spay/neuter bill you paid, no additional refund will be provided by Dog Services.) If adopters chose not to have their pet spayed/neutered, Clackamas County retains the $40.00 "deposit" in anticipation of future costs that will be created when that dog produces unwanted puppies.
*Occasionally, Clackamas County Dog Services inoculates dogs with a one-year Rabies Vaccination. If the dog has been vaccinated for Rabies, add $10.00 to the costs listed above .
*Each Application requires a $10.00 non-refundable deposit that will be applied to your adoption fees when you find your perfect pet within 6 months.
NOTE: All dogs leave our shelter with a Clackamas County Dog License. If owners live outside of Clackamas County or within city limits, they will have to license their dog in their area. Check with your city or county about their licensing requirements. CCDC insists that all dogs who leave our shelter be licensed by us in case the dog gets away from its new owners before it has been properly licensed in its home area.
Cats: Our shelter does not have the facilities to accept large numbers of cats. We do occasionally have cats available for adoption when local cat rescue facilities are full.
The fees associated with cat adoptions are the same as dogs, based on spay/neuter status. Fees include the adoption fee, a spay/neuter fee or deposit (if appropriate) and a supplies charge, to permit us to pay for the unique supplies needed by cats.
Return Policy: The adopters have 30 days in which to return the dog to the shelter for an exchange should the newly adopted dog not work out for the family.
*Petco Adoption Gift Book Program: If you have adopted a dog or cat from us or any other animal welfare organization, Petco is offering you a FREE Adoption Gift Booklet that includes up to $130 in savings on supplies for your pet, which includes free pet food. To receive your Adoption Gift Booklet, you need only bring your adoption papers to any Petco store and you'll receive a coupon book. Please contact their customer service line at (800) 571-2952 with any questions or problems.
Although the listed dogs were available when the page was last updated, some may no longer be available as they may have been claimed by their owner or adopted.
We also run a Foster Program.
Clackamas County Dog Services annually receives for shelter more than 2,000 dogs. We have a very active adoption program, work closely with various breed rescue and various local shelter and Humane Societies, space limitations do no always allow us to care for all adoptable dogs and cats as long as might be necessary to find them good homes.
The Foster Program was established to help us address this need. Selected adoptable dogs and cats are placed with qualified individuals -- often animal rescue organizations - who agree to provide both home and care to the animals, providing love and continued socialization and assistance in locating a permanent adoptive home for animal.
