About the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society:
Mission Statement:
OPHS’ mission is to provide the highest level of compassion for the animals entrusted in our care; to measurably reduce companion animals’ overpopulation and to take a leadership role in promoting humane values and education for the benefit of animals.
The Olympic Peninsula Humane Society (OPHS), an open admission shelter, is dedicated to maintaining and improving the health and well being of all surrendered, lost, abandoned, neglected and abused companion animals of Clallam County. OPHS serves as a conduit for helping lost animals reunite with their owners, as well as helping adoptable animals find new owners.
Promotion of responsible animal ownership and devotion to population control in the form of spay and neuter programs for shelter animals, as well as spay and neuter financial assistance programs for the public, is a high priority for the OPHS. Additionally, the OPHS is in support of the enforcement of anti-cruelty laws and promotion of proper legislation to assist in the just enforcement of all cruelty laws in Clallam County.
The OPHS does not believe in euthanizing healthy and adoptable animals due to lack of space or length of time at the shelter. Therefore, every effort possible is made to ensure that healthy and adoptable animals will temporarily and securely reside at the shelter, or in foster care until they are adopted or transferred to a partner rescue agency. Furthermore, if an animal should come to us sick or injured, every reasonable effort will be made to seek and carry out proper medical treatment for that animal and monitor their recovery until they are ready for adoption or transfer to a partner rescue agency. Euthanasia at the OPHS will be reserved as a last resort to relieve suffering for the untreatably ill or injured and for very aggressive animals.
Their purpose is to help build multifamily housing units to serve persons with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (IDD) by funding the construction and maintenance of affordable housing allowing independent growth in a safe environment to give families of Clallam County a peace of mind in regards to their loved one(s).
They can be reached at 360-808-8089 or by email at openhousing@icloud.com.

The Children of Port Angeles, Washington dreamed up something special, and our community pulled together to make their dream a reality. You can be part of the community’s effort to rebuild and make it happen again for a special place for families and children to gather and have fun!
The Port Angeles Dream Playground was built over five days in September of 2002 by more than two thousand volunteers with tools and equipment loaned by the community and is one of the largest volunteer projects Clallam County has ever seen. This amazing effort was akin to an old-fashioned barn-raising with people of all ages participating in the build. Over $185,000 was raised to pay for the construction. Most of the funds came from a host of local businesses and more than 10,000 individual contributors.
In 2009, the volunteers became restless and created an 800 square-foot pavilion adjacent to the playground.
