This is a wonderful and amazing place here in Port Townsend. It is run by the Sheriff Dept. with the help of a lot of terrific volunteers. People who go every week to walk the dogs, talk to the cats, clean cages, feed and water animals and look for new homes for them. The Olympic Mountain Pet Pals also do a great deal of work for the shelter and it's members can be found there most any day.
This shelter works very hard to place all animals and to be a "no kill" facility.
There is a memorial page on this website, a good place to put photos and information about your own pets who have passed away.

There is a team of veterinarians who give much of their time to these little guys for healing and surgeries. My own veterinarians are pretty special and much appreciated for the time they devote to the shelter. One of them is Dr. Joyce Murphy and she is a Veterinarian Ophthalmologist. Wow are we lucky to have her and her partner Dr. Ginny Johnson in our community. They give so much of their time and expertise to these little guys and there is a jar on their counter marked "Angel Fund" which collects donations for animals whose owners cannot afford care. Their clinic is call the Hadlock Veterinary and Eye Clinic and they have patients coming from all over to use their services.

It is such important work. The animals don't deserve to be treated the way they often are.
And we just got a pound puppy this week... she will now be an officially spoiled dog...
That is great...I wish you a lot of happiness with your new puppy. Thanks for reading the post.
Sandra - great post and terrific pictures, the humane society is having just as hard a time economically today as the rest of us.
Hello Sandra,
Thank you for sharing the information about the humane society in your area. The photos of the animals up for adoption are terrific! Hoping they find their forever homes soon! Thank you for your post!
