Volunteers and the community as a whole completed so much great work on behalf of the animals of Tillamook county, we find it practically impossible to cover it all.

But, here are some of the highlights of 2009.

Statistics

United Paws spays and neuters 1,027 cats and dogs, bringing our grand total to 3,410.  2009 is the first year we reach 1,000 animals spayed and neutered.  These are animals who would not have been spayed or neutered without United Paws, because we target 1) economically disadvantaged residents who cannot afford this vital operation for their pets and 2) colonies of free-roaming cats whom compassionate residents wish to care for daily.  For many of these 1,027 cats and dogs, their spay/neuter visit to the veterinarian is the only time they will ever visit a vet.

United Paws pays $47,500 to local veterinarians for spay/neuter surgeries, for emergency care of abused and rescued cats and dogs, and for medical care of pets in our foster program.

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.

United Paws is a completely volunteer organization, relying on the efforts of a wonderful group of Tillamook county residents.
