Give!Guide is all about partnerships and today we want to highlight an organization who we are thrilled to have as part of our 'Pack'.

Cascadia Health delivers Whole Health Care(TM). They provide mental health services, addiction recovery support, primary care, wellness programs, permanent housing solutions and affordable housing to people of all ages. One of their many programs is their Outreach Team. This team meets people where they are to provide life-saving supplies and health and housing services.

With aligned missions, we are so grateful to be able to provide Cascadia's Street Outreach Team with essential pet care supplies such as pet food, leashes, harnesses, and more, with the goal to help keep pets with their families. This year, with the help of Oregon Community Foundation's grants, we were able to provide Cascadia Health with 50 backpacks stocked full of pet supplies and human supplies to aid in their street outreach.

Please support Cascadia Health this Give!Guide season - they are doing important work to help out our unhoused neighbors!

Today’s a-meow-zing because it’s National Cat Day! Whether you’re looking for a playful kitten or a snuggly lap-cat, we’ve got all kinds of purrsonalities ready to meet you!

National Cat Day isn’t just about celebrating our whiskered wonders; it’s about giving back to the cats who need us most. Every year, shelters are filled with purrfect companions waiting for a loving home. Adopting from a local shelter means saving a life and gaining a furrever friend! Remember, spaying and neutering help reduce the abandoned population, helping ensure every cat gets a chance at a happy life. Celebrate by giving a shelter kitty the gift of love—and they’ll return it with endless purrs and paw-sitive vibes🐾😻

It's the weekend and the prime time to go on an adventure. Missing an adventure buddy? Look no further—Oreo’s here to steal your heart! ✨ This pint-sized pup is searching for a forever family full of love, snuggles, and smooches.

While I may have had to leave my last home, I promise I’m a great companion—just let me meet any potential siblings first!

I’m on a special diet to keep my bladder happy, and I’ve been as healthy as can be. I may have been a fish in a past life; I can’t resist a splash in the kiddie pool or a lake adventure! But I also adore cozy nights in, solving snack puzzles and curling up on your lap.

Let’s make a splash together—adopt me, and we’ll be best friends for life! 💕🐶

It’s and this week we are spotlighting lil Billie💞

Hi, I’m Billie! I may be petite and a little shy, but once you start petting me, we’re best friends for life. I love climbing high on my cat tree—gotta keep an eye on things from above! Ringo, my big buddy, and I are inseparable—he’s the yin to my yang, the big to my little. I’ve had a rough start, but I’m ready to purr my way into a forever home. Rescued once, returned once, but I know the purrfect family is out there for me and Ringo. Photo of ringo also included🐱🐾

It's foster Friday and we are re-introducing Twizzler, the sweetest treat you’ll ever meet.

I’m a playful, goofy pup who's looking for my forever paw-rents to go on all kinds of adventures with. I’ll keep you entertained with my endless supply of pranks (I might even bring you your own shoes for fun 👟)

This Halloween, I’m really stepping up my costume game—check out my Midsommar-esque attire! 🌸👑 Who knew I could be so paw-sitively adorable and spooky at the same time?!

I get along pawsitively well with other dogs and would love a furry sibling to romp around with, but I’m just as happy with solo belly rubs. I’m working on my leash manners, and with a little patience and love, I’ll be a pro in no time!

Crates aren’t really my thing, but I promise to be a good boy with free roam. Just no cats, please—they’re too much temptation for my curious nose! 🐾
Ready to join the ? 🐕💙 Swipe right on forever friendship and check out the link below for more information. Let’s make pawsitive memories together! 🐶💕

Feeling the Sunday scaries? Don’t fur-get to check out Kevin. This handsome lynx-lookalike has a heart as big as his purr!

Adopt Kevin and turn those Sunday scaries into Sunday snuggles!
