Cats seen along 1000 Acres Road.

All,
Emptying trash cans Friday evening, I saw two good size cats on the side of the road just ~500 feet North of the gate.

It was getting dark, but I was lucky enough to get one on camera before it went further down the trail.

Does anyone have any resources to see if these can be captured/homed?

*** Update***
Word is this is a contractor working with Bonneville to clear brush.
Expired registration, location, and lack of notification made all suspicious it was stolen or associated with the still-present camps.

Thanks to those who responded.

Boat towed into the Delta. We don't know who is responsible.

Our volunteers reported this boat (which visitors today probably also saw) under the powerlines.

We are uncertain how they got access, but tire tracks were visible in either direction from the boat.

Law enforcement has been notified, and they will be retrieving the boat, but we don't know when.

If anyone knows anything about this, please reply, or email us at [email protected].

Time to start checking for ticks, and to ensure you're "friends" and yourselves have adequate protection.

This was sent to us by someone who found two ticks after her last visit.

Another found dog report.

This is becoming far too common.

Does anyone recognize this pup?

Reporter sent this:
"This sweet dog was wondering around in big field, no collar- someone is taking him to the Multnomah County Animal Shelter now"

Dog found:
Anyone recognize?

Thursday Apr 23rd found this female dog across the freeway from 1000 acres at the Lewis and Clark Park, she was running in and out of traffic looking very lost, asked a lot of people if they had seen this dog with anyone near by, but no luck. Super sweet dog, I’m heading for the shelter at Troutdale to get her checked for a chip.

Help find Tracer!

We were just notified that Tracer (the larger of the two dogs in the photo) went missing around 2:00 PM at the Delta.

If anyone has seen the dog, please post here.

It's not known exactly where Tracer was lost.

The owner stayed until 5:00, and others have been looking afterwards.
