Spacious, clean and friendly! I donated some cat food here…read morethat our kitty could no longer eat. Rather than return it to Chewy, that pet supplier directed me to donate it and Clatsop County Animal Shelter expressed great appreciation to receive the high quality food. I was tempted to visit the resident dogs and cats however, I was not looking to adopt another animal as we already have a dog and a cat. So, I didn't look at the animals and be tempted to take one or two home! I did note that dogs were being walked outside in the immediate area and I thought that would be a great way to volunteer some of my spare time!

I told her I wanted to adopt, and she pointed me the front door that was locked to the public with a sign that said to check in at the window. The window was closed. I had to pace in front of the window until a second person opened the window and rudely shouted said "You need an appointment to see the animals! " before even asking me why I was here. I told her this place is extremely not welcoming, and I am finished with my business here. What a horrible way to meet you your new animal family for anyone looking! This place can piss off! 6/24/23

Staff is rude and Uncaring, I think her name was Kathy or something like that. I brought in a stray…read moredog and I had kept it at my house giving it all the proper treatments it needed. I let the staff know I would be bringing him in on a certain day due their short hours of being open. They called me back saying they would report the dog as stolen to the police if I did not bring him in. I let them know what day/time I would be there around. When I brought this poor pup in the lady named Kathy I'm pretty sure ripped the dog leash out of my hands so hard it left a burn mark. She told me I had no right helping this dog and what I did was wrong. It took everything in my soul not to knöçk this lady out. She dragged the dog unwilling by the neck into their shelter. When I asked for my dog leash back they slammed the window shut and gave me no mind. This place should be ran by professionals who know what they're doing. Not by volunteers that give zero shts about those animals and people. I will find out what that lady's name is and I want my dog leash back lol. Dog I brought in had bad dental health, infested with fleas and bad Mange. Obviously whoever's dog this was they didn't take care of him and the shelter could care less.

Perhaps the reason that some people have given poor experiences with this sanctuary is because of her extensive adoption process which eliminates people who would not be a good match for the dog they are applying for.

We had been trying to adopt a dog in Seattle for months with no luck, so we decided to make the trip to Hoquiam. I am so glad we did. Nanette is incredibly kind, genuine, and knowledgeable. The patience she showed us went far beyond what we expected. She spent the entire time with us answering questions, sharing training advice, and helping us get to know the dogs. We originally came to meet one dog, but ended up meeting five, and I am really glad we did. What we expected to be a quick 10-15 minute meet and greet turned into more than an hour. We were able to play with several dogs, talk with multiple staff members and volunteers, and really learn about the personalities of the dogs we were meeting! One thing that really stood out was how much everyone at North Beach Paws clearly cares about the animals. While the facility is not a large brand new building with fancy equipment, it was clean, well maintained and the animals are very loved! Also, for my fellow thrifters, they have a huge Saturday garage sale / thrift market that helps support the rescue. There were great prices and a lot of really cool finds. If you're in the Pacific Northwest and looking to adopt a dog or cat, I highly recommend checking out North Beach Paws!

We found the most loved and loving male tabby with Kitty Kat Haven three years ago. The folks who…read moretake in kittens specialize in kitty care and it has proven so worthwhile. My cat is confident, social, unafraid of dogs (he was bottle fed with the rest of his kitten crew) and so cuddly. He's curious about other cats and makes a great companion. It was such a good experience we trusted these folks to match us with three barn cats--cats who were bonded but human wary. This was also three years ago. All three cats are thriving at our warehouse and while not cuddly, are unafraid, keep the rodent population in check, and one has even decided to be a lap cat. I swear, these folks really love matching the right cats with the right people.

How good is that? They actually care that much where the animals are going and want to make sure they are not going someplace where they could be let outdoors and be harmed or living in a bad environment. To this day the company I work for and myself collect donations to help out their Cat and Dog shelters. I am so grateful there is a place like this that really does care about what happens what the animals leave their care. More places should take lessons from them. They find loving homes, not throw away money collection adoptions. Thank you for all you do, please don't stop. Thank you for speaking for those that can't speak for themselves. Jerry

We adopted our cat, Susie, from here around 2008. She was in one of the show boxes at our local pet…read morestore and I absolutely fell in love with her! During the adoption process we found out that Susie was around 1 year old and found as a stray with her kittens. She was almost dead from lack of food, but was continuing to nurse her kittens regardless of her own health. Once her kittens and her were returned to full health she was spayed, but her body reacted badly procedure and once again she almost died. The shelter kept giving her continuos care and once again returned her to full health, and that is when we found her. I cannot thank this shelter enough for caring to help her through her tough young life and not giving up and euthanizing her. She is a great cat and I am so happy to have supported such a great shelter! Give this shelter a look if you're looking to adopt!

I've been to several shelters in the past year to adopt and it's been up and down. I went here on a Saturday after work and brought home my fur ever baby girl. I'm a proud happy fur mom . This is the happiest day of my life . I cried so many tears of joy when I was able to adopt my new female dog. I named her Sasha. Previously known as Oldsmobile. Sasha is the absolute sweetest girl ever. Sasha is what my heart needed. As a puppy she is very smart. Introducing to crate has been fairly well. Eating wow this girl can eat, run, do sprints around the house, yard and is super excited. I am too lol. Potty training is going very well in the morning she wakes me up with kisses to say she has to go and stands by door we go out. We have a routine. Totally recommend Homeward Per adoption to everyone. You will never be disappointed. The accept donations from you if your pet has passed away, been surrendered or you just want to donate, food, toys, supplies for dogs and cats. Well, I could continue to give praises all day. Gotta go mommy duty is calling.

Aberdeen seems to have a stray cat problem so if you're looking to adopt a cat with up to date vaccinations that has been spayed/ neutered this is where you want to go.

PAWS of Grays Harbor has been around a long time, serving a very broad area. I have always admired…read morehow much a few volunteers achieve in a no-kill shelter in an old, old house. This is a depressed area with a lot of need but don't let that keep you away from adopting and volunteering yourself. The veterinary care when we adopted our two separate adult kitties in the past 3 years was very good. Animals were well-socialized and exercised--yes, even the cats. Our sweet Harry had been there for nearly a year (or more), formerly named Sonic. He was about 3 years old. This shelter doesn't put down their oldest and most unadoptable cats. There were some extremely aged cats (and probably dogs too), particularly a sweet lil Manx who was able to roam freely. It felt good to take Harry home and open up his world--but he would have had no world to enjoy at all at some shelters. A previous adoption at PAWS of GH was of a teen mommy who had been caring for her babies under a trailer. Just a slip of a thing but healthy, she was super ready to finally have her own childhood in our home. They have both been a joy and comfort--and got along like best friends immediately. Though the animals were not chipped by the shelter, regular veterinary exams were done, immunizations and flea treatments were done properly and there was an exit visit, flea treatment and claw clipping with the vet tech before we signed the papers and left with our new family members. There was also a built-in trial period. The facility is old but clean. Anything anybody could do to help, I'm sure, would be of high value. We will come back to adopt one day, but hopefully not too soon. Thank you, PAWS of Grays Harbor!

It's a small building off aways from the freeway and is hard to find without a GPS or directions. They get lots of animals here and at times they're packed other times they're not. Many cats come in who need homes. Sometimes other animals besides dog/cat come in(such as the rare rabbit or bird). There's enough room to play/walk/interact with the shelter animals(and oh do they love to play). The shelter info can be found on facebook with the same name. They accept volunteers, foster homes, & donations. Microchipping, vaccination, & spaying are available too.
