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".

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:
