I love it when Rescues and Shelters work together.
ALL of us have the power to make a difference in the life of an animal.
This is Holland. He is young, energetic and, at times, overly stimulate Husky Mix.
With a big heart and some good parenting skills, dogs like Holland make the "Best Pets Ever"
If you want to help, but don't think you can because you have a dog, cat, kid . . . and you work;
Me too.
I know those concerns and have Fostered a lot of animals. I can help you with the Learning Curve.
With Fostering dogs, my success started with me being trained by a good "Dog Trainer"
If you want to adopt Holland, please contact Clackamas County Dog Services.

THANK YOU for caring and wanting to help.

We are exploring new ways to help animals, and the people who Love them.
We are not quite ready to launch. . . But the focus will be on giving away "Ugly Pots and Free Plants", in exchange for a "suggested donation.
We will accept donations of Ugly Pots, Plant Stands and other Gardening Sundries.
There will be some type of Jury System put into place, but currently we are "Flying by the Seat of our Pants"
If you would like to join this Team, let us know.
If you Ugly Pots or Plants let's see some photos.
*we are currently limiting the plants to Edible, Medicinal and or Native to our area.
Broken Pots are OK. Plastic containers are case by case, until we get a good foundation established.
Gardening Tools, Tables, Chairs. . . Bring it on.
Thank you to a nice family in Oregon City who donated Rosemary Starts.

*update ~ ADOPTED
This little fish will be living happily ever after with a super nice family in Oregon City.
It is a tough time of year to be evicted, by the Sheriff, from an apartment, but that is what happened.
The tenant retrieved what they wanted, but abandoned their fish.
Thankfully, apartment managers found the fish and bought food.
For the moment this beautiful aquatic creature is safe, but needs to be adopted into a family who will do right by him/her.
If you think you might be that family, please text us at:
503-841-3921
Thank you for caring.

A horrific fire ripped through a home in Aurora.
Initial reports were that all the animals made it out safely. .Some made it out. Others were not as fortunate. A few remain hospitalized.
We are thankful for our Rescue Partner, Meow Village who was 1st on the scene to rescue animals and continues to look for survivors.
It takes a lot to rescue one healthy Animal. . . The costs are staggering when they are burn victims.
If your can donate financial assistance, please do. Whether it is to us, or Meow Village, your donations are needed now.
PAWS is committed to taking (3) of the fire cats. The cost to us will be between $600 - $1,000.

If you have ever pleaded for "Someone" to help an animal - this is your chance to step out of your comfort zone and be the someone who makes a difference in the life of an animal.
We all have reasons that make it uncomfortable. . .
PAWS Animal Shelter can help you navigate being a Foster Parent.
These dogs need "Someone".
*please don't recommend The Asher House.
For more information, please text us at:
503-841-3921
This is their story:
Sometimes Angels look like Regular People.
Tonight's rescue started with a post on Facebook
Two frightened dogs were tied to a fence, next to Train Tracks and close to the City Dump.
Posts like this tend to garner pleas for "Someone" to do something. Followed by helpful suggestions of various rescues, like PAWS Animal Shelter, to call.
It was 5pm when the video first surfaced.
At 7pm the dogs were still tied to the fence.
PAWS Volunteer Serena saw the post and even though it was cold, dark and raining, she put on her coat and headed out into the night.
The dogs were where the woman said they would be.
It was a desolate length of road and an eerie feeling washed over our angel.
Not wanting a fellow rescuer to be alone, a second angel, named Janelle, headed out into the dark.
Both dogs barked a frightened warning, but the Angels were not deterred.
The moment these pups realized they were being rescued, the barks quieted and their bodies began to wiggle. Tails beat the air and two dogs couldn't wait to get inside the car.
Tonight they are warm, dry, and sleeping on a sofa with soft music playing in the background.
If PAWS Animal Shelter can't find housing for them before 9am, they will head over to Clackamas County Dog Services.
If you would like to become an Angel and Foster these dogs. . . please call or text the Shelter at:
503-841-3921
THANK YOU to tonight's Angels, Serena and Janelle.
Janelle is not on Facebook, but she can be seen at Bratdogz Pet Spa, in Oregon City.
Serena, when she isn't saving animals, is helping people at OsteoStrong Happy Valley .
Please support businesses who help animals and PAWS Animal Shelter
pawsanimalshelter.org
And the people who make the magic happen.

Recently, PAWS Animal Shelter assisted in the rescue of 30+ cats after a Milwaukie home owner died.
PAWS has paid to have all of the cats Spayed and vaccinated.
Now we are looking for Homes to segue them into.
Barns, Warehouses, Wineries or Neighborhoods. . . anywhere mice and rats gather, that's where they want to be.
Will you share and ask your neighbors. . . If they can adopt a few hard working Felines?

There is no such thing as to much love or cuteness.

IF YOU HEAR KITTENS CRYING: Their mother is NOT caring for them... They have been without food for to long.
....THEY ARE IN DISTRESS...
~ DO NOT WAIT ~
Baby kittens are designed to remain quiet... If they are crying they need immediate help.
KITTEN FIRST AID:
- if they are lethargic: give them CORN SYRUP in their mouth.
- if they are cold: give them a heat source that is warmer than your skin.
Our body temp is 98°. Theirs should be 102°.
You can make Hot Water Bottles by filling empty bottles (soda, water...) with Hot water. Place it under a towel and lay the kitten on top of the towel.
~ DO NOT give them food when they are cold.

The new Guy, on the left, needs a good Famous name while he's with us.
Today he met his Foster Siblings and immediately tried to pick a fight with a Jersey Giant, named Benny.
Benny is a gentle soul who was more interested in what was wrong with the new guys twisted beak.
