Oregon Friends of Shelter Animals

We accomplish this mission by:
- Saving as many dogs as possible from overcrowded shelters;
- Accepting surrendered and abandoned dogs and cats;
- Spaying or neutering every animal in our care;
- Working with our community to Trap-Neuter-Release stray/colony cats and providing rescue and care to injured and sick kittens and cats from colonies;
- And through adoption, finding forever loving homes f

or all our animals

At OFOSA, we believe that all people deserve to enjoy the love, companionship, and health benefits that adopting an animal can bring. We are committed to continuing our growth as it relates to inclusivity so we can fully embrace and serve our community. We know this is an ongoing process and we are dedicated to this work.

24 blue bags. Countless second chances. 💙🐾😊♻

Thanks to our amazing supporters, we just delivered 24 bags of donated cans and bottles to — and every single recyclable helps support the animals in OFOSA’s care.

It may look like “just recycling,” but to us, it’s food, medicine, vaccines, spay/neuter surgeries, warm beds, and lifesaving care for animals waiting for their forever homes.

Your cans and bottles really can help save lives. 🐾♻️

Want to help fill the next round of blue bags? Collect your redeemable cans and bottles and donate them to OFOSA — small things add up to lifesaving miracles.

A BIG thank you to Hillsboro Brownie Troop 40359! 💚🐾

These amazing young leaders used their cookie money to shop for OFOSA at Petco — and look at all the wonderful food, toys, treats, and supplies they donated for the animals in our care!

We are so grateful for their kindness, generosity, and love for rescue pets. Acts like this help us provide comfort, care, and a little extra joy to dogs and cats while they wait for their forever homes.

Thank you, Brownie Troop 40359, for helping OFOSA care for animals in need! 🍪✨🐶🐱

70 cats and kittens rescued in the last 30 days!

In just the last 30 days, OFOSA has welcomed an overwhelming wave of cats and kittens into our care. These new arrivals include tiny orphaned kittens, nursing moms with babies, abandoned cats from an apartment situation, kittens found at a colony, babies born in foster care, and several cats needing medical treatment, quarantine, evaluation, or extra time to recover and grow.

This has understandably caused a huge strain on our food, supplies, foster space, and veterinary resources. Kitten season is here in full force, and OFOSA is right in the middle of it.

Thank you for considering a donation of funds or kitten food. We are grateful for your support.

Want to make your love for rescue animals go even further? 🐾

Payroll giving is an easy way to support OFOSA every month — directly through your paycheck. Even better? Many employers will match your donation, which means your gift could be doubled or even tripled at no extra cost to you!

A small monthly gift can help provide food, medical care, safe shelter, and second chances for the animals who need us most.

Check to see if your employer offers payroll giving or matching gifts — and turn your compassion into even more lifesaving impact.

Meet Precious & Princess — two tiny bonded pups with heart-shaped patches and hearts full of love. 💕

Precious is the 10-year-old scruffy mama, and Princess is her 9-year-old smooth-coated daughter. These bonded Shih Tzu mixes are friendly, snuggly, cuddly, and very committed to making sure you never oversleep or miss a suspicious noise outside. Tiny but mighty burglar alarms? Absolutely.

These little ladies came to OFOSA after their person moved into assisted living and sadly could not bring them along. They are fully vetted, microchipped, spayed, and treated with some much needed dental work...and reready for their final forever home.

Precious and Princess are potty trained, dog friendly, people friendly, and professional bed snugglers — whether under the covers or wrapped up like burritos on top. Their feelings about cats are still unknown, but their feelings about snacks are very clear: yes, please.

To learn more and to meet Precious & Princess, please visithttps://ofosa.org/adoptable-dogs-waiting-for-a-forever-home/ and fill out the Dog Adoption Application.
