There will be a change in animal shelter operations in Wasco County. The Central Oregon Animal Friends Board that governs Home At Last Animal Shelter in The Dalles says it is tentatively planning to step away from shelter operations on March 10, turning it over to the Columbia Gorge Humane Society. A transition process is underway. The Columbia Gorge Humane Society is 90% funded by community donations, and plans to seek support from the community as they move forward with this changeover. The Humane Society is planning a stakeholder’s event in April and to announce plans for a community spay and neuter program. Those interested in volunteering, donating supplies, or making a donation, visit Columbiagorgehs.org.
