Multnomah County's animal shelter is severely overcrowded, urging adoption with a special $25 fee.

Multnomah County's animal shelter in Troutdale is facing severe overcrowding due to a surge in stray and surrendered dogs, the highest since 2012. With only a few kennels left, the shelter is urging the public to adopt pets, offering a Valentine's adoption special with fees reduced to $25. The shelter accepts all animals but faces capacity issues, with dogs even being housed in staff offices. County officials are considering plans for a larger facility to handle future needs.
