๐Ÿšจ IMPORTANT ANIMAL INTAKE NOTICE ๐Ÿšจ

Coos County Animal Shelter is currently not accepting animals, and unfortunately, we are also unable to accept animals at this time. We do not have the resources or ability to properly care for animals.

Please do not bring stray, found, or surrendered animals to us. We want to help, but accepting animals without the proper resources would put them at risk.

We understand that finding an animal in need can be stressful, and we appreciate your concern for their safety. Please contact local animal control or other appropriate animal welfare resources for assistance.

Thank you for understanding. ๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿ‘ฎCelebrating Women in Law Enforcement๐Ÿ‘ฎ

Today, we recognize the women who serve in law enforcement with courage, compassion, strength, and dedication.

From patrol officers and dispatchers to investigators, supervisors, and every role in between, women continue to make a meaningful difference in the communities they serve.

Thank you for answering the call, facing challenges head-on, supporting your fellow officers, and helping keep our communities safe. Your service matters, your leadership inspires, and your commitment makes a difference.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ WE WILL NEVER FORGET - SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Today, we pause to remember the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the incredible courage of the first responders, law enforcement officers, firefighters, military members, and ordinary citizens who ran toward danger to help others.

25 years later, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the bravery and unity our nation showed in the days that followed.

May we never forget those who went to work that morning and never came home, those who answered the call without hesitation, and those who continue to carry the effects of that day.

And for those who are too young to remember September 11th or who were not yet born, tell them. Tell them about that dark day and how it changed our country forever. Tell them about the lives that were lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the way Americans came together in the days that followed.

Remembering is how we honor them. Teaching the next generation is how we make sure they are never forgotten.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
