Chihuahuas Ricky (left) and Diva (right) are more than just pets to their person Linda; they are her dedicated support animals, constant companions, and center of her world. During a recent visit to our drop-in wellness clinic, both dogs settled right into Linda’s lap, keeping close while waiting to be seen.
Ricky and Diva visited PAW Team to receive updated vaccinations, preventatives, and microchips, and to be added to our spay/neuter waiting list—essential veterinary care required for them to stay compliant with local housing program guidelines. While at the clinic, Linda was also able to pick up food, leashes, and collars for her beloved pets.
Navigating housing requirements alongside rising veterinary costs can create daunting financial hurdles for pet guardians on fixed incomes. Strict housing mandates mean that accessible routine care is often the single key to keeping families housed and whole. Through our community clinics, PAW Team bridges these gaps so that loving guardians like Linda have the resources they need to keep their companions safe and right where they belong.
As Linda shared: “I can’t afford shots, so this place is a true blessing. I love PAW Team.”
Keeping families housed and together takes a dedicated community. This is the last week to make your gift that will be matched thanks to Oregon Community Foundation Ed Cauduro Fund. You can support more families like Linda, Ricky, and Diva by making a gift today! Link in the bio ❤️🐾🐶
