Mission: The mission of the Clackamas Dog Foundation is to promote the health and well being of dogs and people through supporting the educational and public service activities and programs of Clackamas County Dog Services. PRIMARY FOCUS The Foundation is an independent tax-exempt organization dedicated to soliciting and receiving in-kind and private donations on behalf of Clackamas County Dog Services in support of its mission of encouraging the human/pet bond.
Results: Clackamas Dogs Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on supporting shelter dogs finding lasting homes, reducing unwanted litters through low-cost spay and neuter programs, and providing community outreach.
