We have a Dog Daycare business, and started Pawsitively Saved Rescue in order save the lives of as many dogs as possible. Once out of intake, these rescue dogs can then start training and socializing to start their path to a successful, happy life in a loving home.

I have been a volunteer in dog rescue for over 25 years. Originally, in the 90s, I picked up street dogs, got medical care, found their homes or re-homed them. Now I focus on local owner surrenders that are advertised free or cheap on Craigslist or Facebook. Other local rescues will not accept these dogs and they have a very low chance of finding a safe forever home. Most of them are either passed from home to home with no vet care and increasing behavior issues from neglect or abuse, or used in fighting rings or otherwise by sick people. I do it out of love and concern for dogs. I have also volunteered in the lost and found animal world and moderated several FB L & F pages and was on TV to talk about the topic. I have helped many people find their lost dogs.

All breed, no kill rescue focused on providing compassionate, kind rehabilitation for dogs in need of loving homes. Our mission is to rescue abandoned dogs from high kill shelters in under-served communities and find them adoptive homes in the Pacific Northwest.

From shelters all over the country, Best Friends Furever is dedicated to saving dogs in need - young and old, big and small, fuzzy and clean cut. Our team discovers and subsequently visits crowded shelters to rescue dogs from euthanization and ultimately find them their furever home. These dogs have done nothing wrong. These shelters simply don’t have enough room. Our team believes in giving them a second chance by transporting them to the Pacific Northwest where the dogs are housed and cared for in a real home with Foster Families and not in a kennel. see our FB page for more info.

We are dedicated to finding and implementing peaceful, compassionate solutions to the rabbit overpopulation in Cannon Beach, Oregon, because every bunny deserves respect, love, and protection.

The Oregon Coast Humane Society, located in Florence, Oregon, is a no-kill shelter with intake limited to our housing capacity serving the animal welfare needs in Western Lane County. Comprised of volunteers and a committed professional staff, we are dedicated to assisting homeless and/or abused companion animals in our area. We also seek to educate people about animal-related issues such as cruelty and pet overpopulation. Originally known as the Florence Area Humane Society (FAHS), Oregon Coast Humane Society was founded in 1992 when a group of concerned animal advocates met to see what they could do to help the companion animals of the area. The shelter was completed and the first animals were moved from foster homes in August of 1996. In the next few years, changes were made to accommodate the increasing homeless pet population. The cattery was enlarged to improve the isolation and stray facilities, kitten and puppy nurseries were added to the second floor, and storage space was converted into a staff/meeting rooms, as well as an additional office. In the spring of 2016, the original name was changed from Florence Area Humane Society to Oregon Coast Humane Society to reflect scope of the area serviced by our shelter. This shelter is the only facility administering to the needs of the homeless cats and dogs within a 60 mile radius of its Florence location.

I founded Lancaster Four Dog Rescue due to a plea to save 4 emaciated pit bull puppies. This led to an animal abuse case that is still ongoing. I have always wanted to help animals. When I was growing up I would save neighbor dogs that were left outside with no food or water. I began by fostering for rescues then volunteering. The 4 puppies sparked my desire to start my own rescue.

Meaza and Deb have been rescuing for about 5 years and working together for the past 3 to 4 years. We have both always had a passion for animals and went from networking to actual rescuing. We are foster based rescue with most of our dogs and puppies fostered in So Cal and then adopted in Oregon. We pull from shelters, but also do street rescue and owner surrenders. We emphasize the importance of spay and neuter as well as training on our Facebook page. We have a goal of becoming a 501c3, but have not yet started the process. We do have a sister rescue (Sunstone Service Dogs) that is a 501c3. We find that there is a significant issue with overpopulation in California that does not exist on the same level in Oregon, and together we have been able to save 100s of dogs and get them into good homes. We strive to be a humble part of the rescue village and greatly value our fosters, adopters, and other supporters.

Rabbit Advocates is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose volunteers specialize in educating the public about the care of domestic rabbits. We aim to place surrendered or abandoned rabbits in loving homes where they will be welcomed as family members. Formerly a part of the Oregon Humane Society, in 2002 we created a group solely devoted to promoting the welfare of domestic rabbits. The Rabbit Advocates operate an education and adoption website as well as a help line. We hold rabbit adoption outreach events and other activities at locations around the Portland Metro Area and hold monthly meetings.
