Because of you, 3,700 dogs are unchained, 2,000+ warm dog houses delivered, and 650,000 lbs. of pet food shared with families who love their pets.

Thank you for showing up, again and again, right where love meets need. From all of us at Fences For Fido, Happy Thanksgiving. 🧡🐾🐶

Today, love showed up for people andtheir pets. ❤️🐾

In partnership with Love Our City our Circle of Care came to life in the most beautiful way. Thanks to a generous 1,500-lb donation of pet food from Amazon, families picking up essential groceries today were also able to bring home food for their four-legged family members. Because when people are hungry, pets are hungry too, and no family should ever have to choose between feeding themselves and caring for their beloved companions.

Together with the amazing volunteers at Love Our City, Fences For Fido distributed dog and cat food to dozens of Portland families, helping keep pets healthy, loved, and at home where they belong. This is what community looks like. This is what compassion looks like. 🧡

A huge thank-you to Amazon for kickstarting this partnership, and to every volunteer, every smile, and every helping hand that made today possible. We’ll continue these distributions through the winter, because the need is real and the love is strong.

If you’d like to help us keep pets fed this holiday season, please consider giving the gift of nourishment through our end-of-year Give!Guide campaign:

🐾 Every Dog Deserves Freedom, Shelter & Love 🐾
It's the beginning of a big week for many, welcoming the spirit of gratitude, warmth, family, and friends.
We are grateful for your support.
Our latest Mission Impact Report shows how your donor support has made a vital difference in life-saving care of Fidos. www.fencesforfido.org/missionimpactreport
Fences For Fido has unchained 3,750 dogs, delivered 2,017 warm dog houses, and provided over 650,000 pounds of pet food to families in need.
Behind every fence we build is a story of hope — a family like Brittany’s, doing her best to care for her beloved Buck. When we show up, we bring more than fences. We bring freedom, wellness care, and compassion where love meets need. ❤️

The need keeps growing - we can’t do it without you.

✨ Your donation helps unchain another dog, provide emergency vet care, and keep pets and families together through crisis. ✨

Yesterday’s build in Washington was a bittersweet one for our Fences For Fido team. It marked the final build for our longtime Outreach Coordinator, Becky, as she steps into a well-earned re-retirement.
Becky has been a devoted part of our mission for many years, bringing compassion, warmth, and unwavering dedication to every dog and every family she’s served. Her work has touched countless lives, and her impact will be felt for a long time to come.
Our last build together was for Zeus, who now has a safe, fully fenced yard and a secure, covered deck where he can stay dry in winter and cool in the summer. As if to say “thank you,” Zeus even offered Becky a sweet goodbye kiss — a perfect moment for someone who has spent years giving dogs the freedom they deserve.
🐾🩵Becky, you will be deeply missed by us, but you will always be part of the Fences For Fido family. Thank you for everything you’ve given to this work and to the dogs who needed you most. 🧡

Because of the incredible generosity of our community, we reached our $15,000 match — doubling your impact to $30,000! We’re grateful to every single person who contributed to help us get there. Every gift, helped unlock this huge moment.
We’re now halfway to our $60,000 Give!Guide goal, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the support lifting us this far. Your kindness brings freedom, safety, and dignity to dogs who have waited far too long.
From the bottom of our hearts: thank you. Let’s keep the momentum going. 💛🐾

So many dogs spend their lives outside without the shelter they need to stay warm, dry, and safe. That’s why every Fences For Fido build includes an insulated wooden doghouse-assembled on-site by volunteers, filled with wood chips that stay dry in rainy weather and warm when it freezes, and built to last through every season.

Thanks to supporters like you, we’re able to provide these lifesaving shelters—not just fences and vet care, but warmth, comfort, and dignity.
Your Give!Guide donations help make this care possible. It’s more than fences-it’s comfort, protection, and love for dogs who need it most. 🩵🧡

Chained for long hours, Chuumuk and Bandit still greeted our Fences For Fido Warm Springs volunteers with wagging tails and gentle hearts. Thanks to the hard work of these handy helpers, both dogs now have the safety and freedom they deserve.
At the end of the build, we noticed Bandit searching for something - then proudly pulling out his special rock from under his doghouse. Now that he’s no longer chained, he can find it, play with it, and carry it wherever he wants without the pull of a tether stopping him. Thank you, volunteers!
When you donate, you're helping dogs like Chuumuk and Bandit ❤🐾www.GIVEGUIDE.ORG/NONPROFITS/FENCES-FOR-FIDO
