WELCOME

Clallam County Animal Lovers:

​

Thanks so much to everyone who came down to the Bark House Open House! I’m a bad judge of crowd size, but I’m going to say we had between two and 2,000 folks stop by, give or take. We hope you liked what you saw.

I enjoyed meeting and talking with you, especially those of you who had tough questions. I hope my answers satisfied your concerns, or at least gave you insights into what we’re doing and why.

As of this writing, we’ve welcomed five dogs into our care, one of the first five dogs has already been fostered in a home with a high likelihood of adoption! 

Opening Bark House was our first goal. After we get more experience under our belts with new staff, new protocols, and new facility features, we will expand the number of dogs under our care to a maximum of 20, then again 30 or 35.

For the future, we want to become more involved in the community, holding spay and neuter clinics, sponsoring public education programs on how to best take care of your pets, and working with partners to reduce the number of strays and dangerous dogs.

However, no matter what we do or where we go, providing the highest-quality care to our cats and dogs will ALWAYS remain our #1 priority!

We are grateful that so many of you joined us to celebrate our milestone. Please consider being a part of our ongoing efforts: Volunteer, apply to join the Board, and/or donate.

Thanks.
