United Paws of Tillamook

So far in 2009, United Paws has completed or approved the spay/neuter of 509 cats and dogs. The Neuterscooter has accounted for 134 cats and 106 dogs, with the remainder being done by local vets.

Our goal this year is to reach at least 3,000 spay / neuters since our inception in 2003. We are currently at 2,884 spay/neuters since 2003.

Everybody is invited to the reception 5 p.m. – 7 p.m., Friday, August 7, at Bay City Arts Center to celebrate the opening of the “usable” art show sponsored by United Paws in partnership with Bay City Arts Center. 

This is our one-time yearly mailing, which we cheerfully refer to as our official, written fundraising request. We will tell you about our 2008 accomplishments, our plans and goals for 2009 and how you can help us make a positive difference for the cats and dogs of Tillamook County.

United Paws of Tillamook Income for 2008 exceeded 2007 Income. In 2007, we brought income in of $45,022 and this year we outdid ourselves with income of $58,787, even as the economy has gone “south.”  From this standpoint, United Paws continues to be successful.

Our grants and awards were close to $14,000 in 2007; in 2008, we received $21,968 in grants and awards.  Nearly half of our income came from out of county, but some undoubtedly from people owning second homes in Tillamook County.

You can help us find good homes for deserving animals by printing adoption posters for display in your business or organization:

With only a half dozen foster homes for the whole of Tillamook County, along with the occasional self- fosterer, literally hundreds of cats and dogs have gotten a second chance over the last 3-4 years.

Through a network of volunteer foster families, a number of wonderful and worthy dogs and cats are available for adoption in the Tillamook area.

Please visit our Adopt page to meet the available animals.
