Happy Tails Monday = our favorite day of the week!⁠
⁠
A NASA instrument on the Terra satellite, a couple noddles, and one girl who really nailed “touching grass" - this week’s Happy Tails go to Aster, Lori, Cannelloni, and Capellini! Congrats to all four of these cuties.

Circuit would like you to know that he’s adoptable. He would also like you to adjust the blanket, dim the lights, and keep the noise down. otatpdx.orgs/dogs/circuit

SpongeBob, Sacramento, Hi-Hat, and Margarita: class of 2025. They’ve done the extracurriculars, nailed the yearbook quotes, and put in 30+ days of foster life.⁠
⁠
Now all they need is graduation into the Good Life. $100 tuition.⁠

The internet said to touch grass. Lori said say less. And she didn't just touch it -- she became besties with it.⁠
⁠
Lori will be at the Adoption Center Friday (9/12) from 2:30–6:30PM or until she gets adopted. Come see her before she roots herself permanently and adopt this mindful, happy sprout.

Meet Margarita: proof that spirit fingers can, in fact, be paws. She's OTAT PDX's Varsity Head Cheer Captain and voted Most Likely to Brighten Your Day.⁠ Our girl is supportive, enthusiastic, and always ready to lift moods.⁠
⁠
Her favorite cheer? "I got pep; I got cheer; I got cold-nose hellos when shorts are near! Go team, go!" (The team is you, btw.)⁠
⁠
After 30+ days in foster care, Margarita is in her Senior Year, and adoption tuition has been reduced to just $100 courtesy of her scholarship package.⁠
⁠
Check out her Senior Yearbook page in the next slide. Then go ahead and claim your spot on Team Margarita: otatpdx.org/dogs/margarita

Comet will be making a landing at the Adoption Center tomorrow, Thursday (9/11), from 2:30–6:30PM or until someone decides he’s theirs.⁠
⁠
As part of last month’s space batch, Comet has been circling foster couches since landing. Today he’s finally cleared for re-entry to show off his out-of-this-world charm. Swing by to meet him and see for yourself.

Hi-Hat, also known as Bruno, has had a long day of running the school as ASB President, and by fourth period he’s already earned his sun nap.

This future professor has been in foster care for over 30 days, which in high school years is about two proms and a forgotten locker combination. So now his adoption fee is just $100, and his guidance counselor says he’s college-ready in Advanced Snuggling.

Swipe for senior stardom → Hi-Hat’s Yearbook page. Feel free to adopt him before graduation.

Taro has officially graduated from his healing foster badge to a new title: adopted. 💙 His journey took him from emergency medical care to weeks of recovery, and now, thanks to our community of members, fosters, and volunteers, all the way to the Good Life.⁠
⁠
Taro’s story is exactly why Mended by Members matters. Each new membership means we can say yes to more dogs who need rescue power behind them. Our September goal is 40 new members, which equals $800 more each month toward saving lives!
⁠
✈️ This week only, your membership comes with naming rights to an entire incoming group of dogs. Bragging rights included.
⁠
🐾 Two more weeks of drawings are still on deck. Spoiler: the prizes are good.⁠

Happy Tails Monday! Congrats to Shells, Lentil, and Alister, who each headed off to the Good Life this week. Lentil even marked the occasion with a fresh haircut, because nothing says “new beginnings” like a proper before-and-after.⁠
⁠
Stay tuned to our story today: fresh faces from our West Texas partners are flying in, and the cuteness quota is about to skyrocket!

Meet the Senior Class of 2025: Sacramento, Spongebob, Hi-Hat, and Margarita. They’ve each been in foster 30+ days, which in high school years is basically forever, and are now ready to graduate into the Good Life for just $100 tuition (adoption fee) this fall quarter.⁠
⁠
This week we’ll be rolling out their Senior Yearbook pages. Expect made-up accolades and class votes, club memberships, and quotes written five minutes before the deadline. Stay tuned!

This is the face SpongeBob made when we told him about New Dog Day tomorrow. 😏 He won’t be attending in person, instead opting to monitor the festivities from home with his trademark smile and maximum enthusiasm that more shelter dogs just like him are coming to the Good Life thanks to all of you.
