Welcome to United Paws

Our Mission

United Paws of Tillamook (UP) is dedicated to spaying and neutering the cats and dogs of low-income residents of Tillamook County, and preventing and alleviating animal suffering by humanely addressing overpopulation and homelessness through spay/neuter, foster-to-adopt, and education programs.  In addition, UP is pledged to TNR (trap/neuter/return) feral cat colonies with longterm caregivers.

A Year of Continued Success

The year 2007 proved to be another year of success and growth for United Paws.

Thanks to the continued help of volunteers and the Tillamook county community, we spayed/neutered 619 cats and dogs in 2007. We also raised just over $45,000 in 2007, almost twice the amount raised in 2006.

We appreciate your continued support and concern for the animals of Tillamook county.
