Meet adoptable pups!
We sponsored an adoption fee, so YOU can adopt a new friend who will positively change your life FOREVER.
You can then come to the shop for one of our robust adoption packages, full of free food and treats. 😊
No reason to miss out on this great opportunity!
🐕🦮🐩💕

Come see us tomorrow! HRAAD Home for the Holidays Meet & Greet! We reduced our adoption fees, and our local businesses stepped up and sponsored them for you! You can use the funds you would have spent on adoption fees to help take care of your new 4 (or 3!) legged friend and family member!

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow at the shelter (3910 Heron Drive, Hood River) from 10am-3pm.

Some of our more sensitive dogs will not do well in a busy meet and greet situation, so we will coordinate a separate meet opportunity if you are interested in one of them.

We are humbled by the continued support of our community. Our pups are so deserving of a life outside our shelter walls!

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow! ❤️🐾

Who will adopt this beautiful dog?
Roxy deserves her forever home. Please consider inviting her into your family, so she can know that she is safe and loved.
🙏🏼🩵🙏🏼

Roxy has been living at our shelter for over TWO YEARS, and it is beyond time for her to have a home of her very own. She was found as a stray, lactating but with no puppies, skinny, and hair falling out. She’s about 3 years old, does well with kids and other dogs. She is an absolute love and there is so much more for her than a life at the shelter. She is such a pretty, pretty princess! She’ll be downtown trick-or-treating with our volunteers on Thursday. Do you have space for an amazing dog like Roxy? Think about it. Two years is WAY too long. Please share and help us help her find her very own family. She’s an amazing dog. Let’s get Roxy HOME. ❤️🐾

This is such a wonderful idea.
Who can donate space for a scared and tired dog? 🩵

Hi community, we had a request from our volunteer coordinator, so I thought I would post the ask here. We can only have our needs met if people know what they are!

“I’ve had this idea for a long time and realized you might know someone who can help.
I’m looking for someone who has an ADU or rental home/condo/living space they would donate to the shelter so that I can take a dog there for respite for a night or two.

For example, certain dogs are struggling and just need a shelter break. Or another was just returned from foster and freaking out so instead of going straight back to the shelter, I could take them to stay at the respite house for a night or two.
Or take them there before they go to foster for a night or two so they are more decompressed before going to the foster, which could make it way easier for the foster to keep them.”

Let us know if you have any ideas. We appreciate everything you are doing to help us help these dogs!

Please email Laura if you have a spot! [email protected] 🐾❤️

Oh, this sweet girl... 🌼
Daisy is coming to the end of her time here, she has metastatic cancer and the prognosis isn't too good.
😢
But look at her, she's happy, she's riding a bike with her best human friend, it's a sunny day and she's smiling. Every time she comes to the shop, her tail wags and she's very happy to receive love.
I always tell people, "Don't be sad for her, treat her like she's a well dog, she wants to be happy with you for the time you have left together." 💕
I'm not saying don't be sad, that's inevitable, but meet her in this moment, look her in the eyes, pet the top of her head and tell her that you love her. This moment matters.
Sweet Daisy, we love you. 💛 We will pet your head for as long as you are here.

Beowulf and Valhalla strolled ((🤣)) into the shop for a float coat, but also left with a fluffy hedgehog and a bunch of tasty food samples! Love that the hedgehog is rather indistinguishable from a fluffy Pup. 🤍
Did you know we have FREE samples of our foods? Just ask any one of us, we will hook you up! And we guarantee all of our food products, so if it doesn't work out, you can always return it!
One more reason to ✨🙏🏼✨

Wow! Neighborhood Pet Store Day was a WILD SUCCESS! 😊😊😊
Thank you to everyone who came out, we saw so many of our regulars, and lots of new customers as well! Thank you, thank you, we couldn't do what we do without your devoted support. 🥰
Also a BIG shout out to our amazing team, .rose .claire (and even Sean) for kicking ass all day long. You all are AMAZING, and it was so fun to work with you. 🩷🩷🩷
These cuties, Katie and Kyle came in right after adopting their new pup (name TBD) from and it was so awesome to get them hooked up with good food and treats and a new bed all of which were all on sale! ⭐️
I don't know who started this phenomenon, but thank you too, for creating a "holiday" in honor of animals, in the middle of a random "in between" month. It's one of the best things to happen in the pet industry in a long time!
plays a big part in all this too, helping smaller pet food manufacturers, like & .official reach consumers via independent pet supply stores all over the country. Such an amazing service!
Sure does take a village to help the animals, but together we are doing just that!
Love you all! 🥰

I visited my old Alma Mater The Filling Station Pet Supplies on NE Alberta Street!
It's good to see the shop so busy and full of happy dogs and humans. I love that TFSpets still supports the local community, through all the ups and downs of the economy and the neighborhood. Keep up the amazing work, Laura Amiton the animals need you! 🩵🦮🐕🩵

So great to see Molly Lewis and her dog Nova today! Many of you may remember Molly, as she worked for us for 8+ years, leaving in 2018 to open her store Dog River Pet Supplies in Hood River. Molly’s store has inspired a lot of pet owners to feed healthier and question traditional views on disease prevention and parasite (flea & tick) management. She has also introduced small, local brands and has fostered quite a tight pet community there as well!
Fun fact: Dog River Pet Supies was a 2023 winner for Coolest Store In America contest by Pets+ magazine last year!

One of my favorite doggos is back from Bellingham! 🐶
first brought Ricky in when he was just a wee pup (see photo 3) and then they moved to Bellingham for a few years and I missed them! Good thing Ricky didn't forget about the happiest place on dog earth, we had a good soccer session in the shop today and got some excellent snuggs on the couch.
Love you guys! 🩵🩵🩵

We said goodbye to a Very Wonderful Dog this week, one who was close to my heart. My mom's dog Lolo crossed the 🌈 bridge at the good old age of 16!

If you know my mom, and a lot of you do, you know that she and Lolo hiked every trail on Mt Hood, every trail on Mt Adams, every trail in The Gorge and walked most of the beaches on the Oregon coast. They were very rarely apart.

My mom and her husband adopted Lolo from formerly in The Dalles, where she had been picked up as a pregnant stray. She was fostered with a volunteer who helped her through pregnancy and birth, and then, once her puppies were weaned, she was ready for adoption.
It wasn't easy at first, Lolo had some typical shelter dog fears, but my mom and her husband never gave up on Lolo and she became an amazing canine companion to them both.

I will miss this girl so very much, she is part of what helped build our store, and our community of dog lovers.

Please send love and hugs to my mom and her husband David during this heartbreaking time.

Love you all, love your doggos! ✨🩵✨

Time to play, "Name That Mix!" 😍
We don't know the answer this time, Mac (with his buddy Jackson) was just adopted from a shelter in southern Idaho, and they stopped in to get some toys and treats for the ride home
We love hearing the breed mix guesses, so bring it on and and when we do find out the answer, we'll be sure to tell you!
