💙 Honoring the Life and Legacy of Our Friend, Bob Parker 💙

You may remember our recent post about one of our beloved Fences For Fido volunteers, Bob Parker, whose life was tragically cut short in a fire.
Bob’s family and friends were deeply touched by the outpouring of love and kind words shared in his memory. To honor his compassion and dedication, they have generously donated to Fences For Fido — and hope to see those funds grow through a community match. They know, as we do, that Bob would have loved this—for all the waiting Fidos who deserve freedom and love.

✨ We’re hoping to match $1,000 or more today! ✨

Every gift, no matter the size, helps continue the work Bob cared so deeply about:
🐾 $40 – A bag of food for a hungry Fido
🏠 $200 – An insulated doghouse for warmth and safety
✂️ $300 – A spay or neuter
💉 $400 – Critical veterinary care
🚪 $1,200 – Sponsor a fence
❤️ $2,000 – Fully sponsor a fence, spay/neuter, and an insulated doghouse.

Bob was always ready and willing to help—whether it was building fences, lending a hand, or simply showing up with a smile. His kindness and generosity touched everyone around him, and countless dogs are safe and free today because of his giving spirit.
Born in 1931 in Austin, Illinois, Bob led an incredible life filled with service, adventure, and love. He served in the U.S. Navy during his younger years and spent much of his career in Hawaii working with the Navy’s nuclear submarine program. Bob and his wife, Jean, shared a love of travel, adventure, and animals—making countless cross-country trips before settling in Salem, Oregon.
After retirement, Bob’s heart for helping others only grew. He volunteered teaching English to immigrant students, trained others in CPR with the Red Cross, and even filmed adoption shows for Friends of Felines. When he discovered Fences For Fido later in life, he found another way to make a difference—spending countless weekends in all kinds of weather, building fences and freeing dogs from chains.
Those who knew Bob remember his quiet strength, generous spirit, and unwavering kindness. His loss is felt deeply, but his legacy of compassion will continue to live on through every wagging tail and joyful run.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Fences For Fido - "Bob & Jean Memorial Fund"
Thank you, Bob, for your years of love, service, and dedication. You’ll forever be part of every fence we build and every life we free. 🕊️💙

🌧️🐾 Rain or shine, our volunteers always show up!
Fences For Fido Washington Volunteers worked through a downpour to make freedom possible for Koby and Molly — two sweet pups who are no longer separated or tethered.
Now, they can run, play, and enjoy their brand-new fenced yard together — tails wagging, puddles and all!
Huge thanks to our incredible volunteers who never let a little rain stop them from changing lives. 💛

🐾✨ Baby and her two little sidekicks—three determined escape artists! Until now, these pups were confined to a makeshift kennel on the porch because their backyard had holes, weak spots, and plenty of ways to sneak out.
To make their world better, our Fido Team stepped into action! They enclosed the crawl space under the wrap-around porch, reinforced the fencing, and created a safe backyard where these pups can finally run free. 💛
One neighbor even stopped by to thank us, sharing how much safer the community will be now that the dogs have a secure yard. And they’re right—today both the neighborhood and Baby’s family can rest a little easier. 💙
Another fence, more freedom and another story of love unleashed. 🧡

We first met Olaf and his buddies March 11, 2020 when they received their very first fence; our last build before the Covid shutdown. Recently, their guardian reached out because part of the ground wire was coming up and needed repairs.🐾
Repairs aren’t something we see often—usually it’s years down the road, thanks to the sturdy, quality fences our well-trained volunteers build. But when they’re needed, our amazing volunteers don’t hesitate to step in. 💛
BIG thanks to our dedicated Washington Volunteers, Olaf and his friends can have safe ZOOMIES once again!

This weekend, our Fido Team had the joy of delivering cozy new doghouses to 5 families on the Warm Springs Reservation. 🍂With autumn settling in and winter on its way, these families can now rest a little easier knowing their pups will be safe, warm, and loved through the cold months ahead.
🧡We’re so grateful to our incredible supporters who make moments like this possible. Because of you, tails are wagging and hearts are resting a little easier.

Until now, Sedona, Georgia, and Nala’s days were limited and their adventures cut short. But now, they get to run, and play—tails wagging, ears flying, and zoomies until their hearts' content.
Big thanks to our Fences For Fido Team for building a safe, secure yard for these three sweet pups to have the gift of freedom.
