OUR CAMPAIGN
Gimme Shelter Portland is a non-profit organization dedicated to replacing Multnomah County Animal Services (MCAS), the only taxpayer funded animal services agency in Multnomah County, also known as animal control or “the pound,” with a modern, vibrant animal services agency which:
- develops and maintains a stable, sustainable source of funding.
- implements a comprehensive strategy of lifesaving programs and services proven to end the killing of lost and homeless dogs and cats.
————————————————————————————————————
To that end, we are asking the Chair and Commissioners of Multnomah County and the Mayor and Commissioners of the City to immediately:
- Pass a resolution to end the killing of all healthy, treatable and manageable dogs and cats by 2013.
- Build / establish a modern, centrally located animal services agency with management and staff passionately dedicated to this resolution.
- Adopt and implement a comprehensive, strategic plan for this agency utilizing the successful formulas of those animal service agencies whose self-funding formulas and life saving programs insure public support and sustainable funding.
