Rocky was the master of breaking tethers and escaping. Not only is it unsafe, but neighbors were upset and called the authorities about his misadventures.
Rocky’s family reached put to Fences For Fido, wanting a better life for Rocky.
When Fences For Fido showed up for Rocky’s build, his family joined volunteers helping build a fence for Rocky’s freedom.
Later, the family sent a note to the Lead Volunteer,
"Oh my goodness, thank you and all the helpers, our family is very grateful for all of you! "
Thank you to this family for their compassion to change their dog’s life for the better and thank you donors and volunteers!

It's time to add August 10th to the calendar for an unforgettable summer evening in Portland, OR. for our sweet 16th anniversary Fences For Fido Boots & Bling Gala! Valet parking and all the FUN start at 5 PM. Pups, pals, and the best summer vibes come together for a tail-wagging good time!

Your support at our gala makes ALL this possible:
🐾 Get dogs off chains
🐾 Provide life-saving dog houses

This ain’t just a party—it’s a mission with heart. So grab your friends, dust off your boots & shine up that bling... let’s show these dogs some Southern-style love! Check out some of these photos from our past events at Castaway. This year, we'll even have fresh cinnamon rolls & host bar outside in the courtyard!

Big heaps of thanks to our tabling volunteers this month! Tabling is a great way to be involved if you don't feel you're able to build or would just prefer to talk to folks about the good work of Fences For Fido!
Becky and Nicole in WA, headed the Tumwater Dog Days table, meeting lots of cute pups!
Janelle hosted the Fences For Fido table and made veggie dogs for Pets On Broadway Anniversary Celebration.

We've been known to help clear grass, brush and yard debris before building a fence but a wind turbine is a first! Thanks to Fences For Fido volunteers, a wind turbine was safely disassembled and reassembled so a safe enclosure could be built to give Tucker, Whiskey and Pedro the freedom and safety they all deserve. Thank you Washington Fences For Fido volunteers!

A sweet crew of 6 little loves, compassionately rehomed by their guardians who we built a fence for last month. The guardians already had several adult dogs and we're grateful to receive spays and neuters for them! The puppies were transported by the loving hands of one of our seasoned volunteer leaders, Becky, in SW Washinton. Thank you Chelsea, of for helping these six, to have a soft-landing at your shelter 🐾🧡

These six chained hunks of bully love, in rural Washington, are now living chain-free.
That would be enough, but Fences For Fido volunteers have done much more to improve the quality of life for these six dogs (with the best names ever!) and relieve the worries and guilt for their family. Brownie, MooMoo, Buzz, Angle, Buddy and Precious are now forever Fidos 🧡🐾
• Volunteer Jenn Voge, transported all six dogs, round-trip, to Humane Society for Southwest Washington, for spay and neuter.
• Volunteers, Jennifer Adams & Ken quickly put love in action and visited the property the week before to build dog houses for all six dogs. For the first time, they have shade and protection from the harsh elements in the Gorge. They attached a hook on each doghouse and attached a heavy-duty livestock water bucket on each one. Then off to the store they went, bought 12 gallons of water and filled all the buckets.
• Given the family’s minimal resources and a lack of water and utilities on their property, they face difficult times, but they are a whole family, and their dogs are a big part of it. To that end, for this summer, Fences For Fido is providing multiple gallons of water to be delivered each month so that the dogs and family have plenty of drinking water throughout the summer months.
• Today, Karen Van Winkle delivered more water and they also personally donated a bicycle since the family did not have transportation.
• Fences For Fido is doing all that we can to keep this family together, when there really aren’t other options for these dogs. That’s why Fences For Fido meets families where they are, without judgment, only compassion.
-ALL- of this is possible thanks to not only volunteers, but donations. No matter how small - it all makes a difference.
You can make a donation through this link: www.fencesforfido/donate and/or join us on August 10th in person to spend time with like-minded folks, enjoying fun and festivities and learn more about our Fidos💙

Many people don't realize our storage capacity and how difficult it can be. Not only ready-to-assemble doghouse pieces, tools and other gear. But, how to store hundreds of fence panels so they're ready for the next Fidos in need? Up, up, up, thanks to friends with forklifts. Thank you! We're so grateful for the help!

Harrison, Ghost and Rocky are just a few of the sweet faces you'll get to meet this month when you volunteer with us near Portland and Washington. Tomorrow, volunteers are needed in Winlock, WA. to help King & Junebug, who aren't chained but locked in two separate small rooms for most of the day and night.

A very grateful family has been reunited with their dog after Warm Springs community member & Fences For Fido Board member, Theo, alongside the Warm Springs Fire & Safety crew members, rescued their dog. She somehow ended up on a roof, only to be met with flooring that was ready to cave in. Fortunately, she was rescued by heroes who don’t wear capes. 😊 He was humbled to help his community and honor the bond families share with their pets on the Warm Springs Reservation.🐾🧡
