There's no shelter or vet in Warm Springs, so when a kind family found themselves overwhelmed by a growing family of free-roaming cats, they reached out for our help. Thankfully, when we then reached out to our nonprofit partners, they were happy to help. Humane Society of Central Oregon and PDX Cat Trapper came together last week to help us get the cats spayed and neutered, plus some of them are one their way to forever families. Fences For Fido is fences and SO MUCH MORE.
Our volunteers unchained Maka and changed her life. But they also changed her family's life, and the life of the kind mail carrier who referred Maka's family to us. It only takes a couple of hours to be a dog's hero. Join us! FencesForFido.org/ChangeTheWorld
You can change the world for a dog, a family, and a neighborhood. In just a few hours. We'll show you how. FencesForFido.org/Volunteering
Huge thanks to everyone who turned out for our first-ever open house last weekend. We had a fantastic turnout, perfect weather, amazing food and drinks, plus live music. It all accompanied our chili cook-off and volunteer drive, and what a wonderful day!
Special thanks to our amazing Central Oregon volunteer crew. In addition to building two fences in Warm Springs this weekend, they learned of these nine tiny lives in need of help and facilitated a sweet rescue. Thanks to our rescue partners at Street Dog Hero, these little ones will be lovingly bottle fed and cared for until they're ready to find their adoptive homes.
The stage is getting set for tomorrow's concert and open house under the St John's bridge. Join us from 2-5 for live music, food from Dinger's Deli, drinks from Booze Trucks, a chili cook-off, and live music by Silk & Steel.
You won't want to miss this perfect afternoon by the river under the St. John's bridge, listening to live music, voting in our chili cookoff, and learning how to be a dog's hero.

Pets are arriving for the final day of our Warm Springs spay/neuter clinic with our partner First Nations Veterinary and the soundtrack is not only fun but science-based. A study in collaboration with the Scottish SPCA found that many kinds of music help dogs feel calmer, but the tempo of reggae music is most effective at slowing their heart rates and calming their nerves.
