Animal service agencies from five counties took part in a tragedy drill to practice how they would handle and shelter pets during an emergency. Volunteers brought about 20 dogs to the Clackamas County Fairgrounds in Canby on Wednesday.
They also brought stuffed toy luxurious cats and bunnies as stand-ins for the real animals that might have proved too temperamental. Clackamas County coordinated the exercise that included agencies from Columbia, Multnomah, Washington and Clark counties. Officials took photos of each pet with its owner and tagged each with matching identification wristbands or collars.
