OFOSA is committed to improving the welfare of animals by addressing the extensive overpopulation problem among homeless dogs and cats.
(368)

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 for 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.

🐾❤️ MEET OUR NOVEMBER FOSTER OF THE MONTH: DORIS THRELOFF! ❤️🐾

A quick trip to PetSmart. One fluffy kitty with her face pressed against the kennel glass. And a heart that couldn't say no. ❤️

That's how Doris Threloff's fostering journey began!

Although that first kitty found her forever home before Doris could bring her home, another family desperately needed her help — a mama cat and four tiny, two-week-old kittens.

Doris stepped up, and the rest is a beautiful story of love, nurturing, and happy tails! 🐱

After helping that little family thrive and find loving homes, Doris welcomed her next fosters: Nova and Luna, two playful sisters who are now looking for a forever home together.

"I truly underestimated the joy they would bring. What a gift." – Doris

As one of our newer foster parents, Doris is proof that you don't need years of experience to make a lifesaving difference. You just need a little room in your home and a lot of love in your heart. ❤️

Please join us in celebrating Doris, our November Foster of the Month! Thank you for opening your home, embracing the adventure, and helping us save lives!

✨ Could YOU be our next foster success story? We'll provide guidance and support every step of the way!

Meet Jello — sweet, silly, wobbly, and bursting with personality. 😻

Jello has cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), is deaf, and has some vision challenges, but none of that has stopped her from enjoying life on her own terms. She loves snuggles, playtime, attention… and, yes, a little mischief. 😹

Jello is a character! She can play a little rough and doesn’t always pick up on the signals other cats are sending her, so she’ll need a patient family willing to give her gentle guidance, supervision, and a safe environment where she can thrive.

She may need a few accommodations and a little extra understanding, but what you get in return is one unforgettable kitty with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. ❤️

How can you resist that sweet face? Jello needs a forever home.

Could that be yours?

WHAT IF YOU'RE THE REASON AN ANIMAL GETS A SECOND CHANCE? ❤️

We have dogs and cats waiting for something that could change everything.

Not a forever home. Not yet.

Just a safe place to land. A little patience. A whole lot of love.

🏡 Maybe that place is YOUR home.

At Oregon Friends of Shelter Animals (OFOSA), foster families are the heart of our rescue. Every time someone opens their home to a foster animal, they're helping us save another life.

And right now, WE NEED MORE FOSTERS!

Never fostered before? That's okay! You don't need to be an expert. You just need a willingness to help, some room in your heart and home, and the ability to provide a safe, loving environment.

🐶 Love dogs? We need you.
🐱 More of a cat person? We need you, too!
❤️ Have fostered before? We'd LOVE to welcome you back!

Fostering isn't always easy. There can be challenges, adjustments, and bittersweet goodbyes. But watching a frightened animal learn to trust, a neglected pet blossom, or a homeless animal find a family? That's something special.

And here's the beautiful part: When your foster finds their forever home, you've made room to save another.

👉 READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? Take that first step today and complete our foster application!
