West Columbia Gorge Humane Society is a no-kill, independent, non-profit animal shelter established in 1994. We have a mostly volunteer staff dedicated to caring for animals and finding loving homes for each one. We have a foster homes program and our cat and dog shelters are located in Washougal, WA.

What is a No-Kill Shelter? While we are not able to take all animals that come to us, because of space, we make a lifetime commitment to those we shelter. We dedicate resources to quality adoptions, foster homes, sheltering, community outreach, and education as alternatives to euthanizing healthy animals for population control. We advocate spaying and neutering and also support Trap-Neuter-Return (TRN) programs for free roaming cats.

Who do we help? Clark County residents make thousands of calls to us for help each year. We respond to each one, offering advice and assistance with pet problems to help keep the animals with their owners. We take in and shelter as many animals our staff and space is able to accommodate.

Our vision is that every companion animal born will be welcomed into a responsible, loving, home where a lifetime commitment is made to their welfare.
