How we feel about tomorrow being Monday…

Meet Abram 🐱
Abram may experience the world a little differently, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit.

Born with very limited vision and hearing, Abram navigates life with confidence, curiosity, and a whole lot of love.

He’s a sweet, affectionate young cat who loves people, enjoys companionship, and proves every day that special needs pets are just pets who need a chance. While Abram may require some ongoing medical care, what he gives in return is immeasurable

Today is National Rescue Dog Day 🐾

Dogs like Boggle & Butters, like animals in all animal shelters, are looking for their forever home. Every rescue dog deserves safety, love, and a second chance.

Not ready to adopt? You can still make a huge difference by fostering, volunteering, donating, or sharing posts like this one. It truly takes a community to help dogs in need. Butters, the black and white frenchie, is still in need of a foster home!

✨ Meet Margaritte ✨

From skinny stray to fluffy lap queen …
Margaritte was rescued outside in rough shape, but look at her now: healthy, gaining weight, and fully embracing the indoor luxury lifestyle. Her favorite hobby? Curling up in a warm lap and soaking up attention.

She’s a sweet girl with a little sass, prefers to be the star of the show, and is ready for a calm home where she can keep thriving

Whisker Wednesday Spotlight: Meet Toby & Ben 💛

Two bonded brothers searching for a home where they can keep doing what they do best: wrestling, cuddling, causing light chaos, and loving their people endlessly.

Toby is the chatty athlete of the pair, while Ben is a giant baby who enjoys being carried around. Together, they love tunnels, toys, treats, cardboard destruction, and keeping each other entertained.

These boys are equal parts sweet, silly, and snuggly…and they’re ready to bring twice the love to their future home 🐱🐱✨

They are in a foster home, so if interested in meeting them please fill out an adoption form.
Photos show Toby, a striped cat, and Ben, a black and white cat, both cuddling

FOSTER OR ADOPTER WANTED!
•
•
Meet Butters, the 6 year old piglet (french bulldog) looking for a comfy place to land! She was found wandering outside with another dog, presumably after a life of breeding. She is looking for a new foster or foster-to-adopt home because she has proven herself to be a bit of a pest to other resident animals and would love to be the only animal in the home. Despite that, she LOVES all people. Her dream life includes lots of snuggling, short walks, and brief bursts of play. She has mastered the leisurely life, and she can be alone for moderate amounts of time without issue. She’s even crate trained!

She will need to recover from a couple procedures and get some mild healthcare before an adoption can be finalized. This may include a spay pending the results of a hormone test. Animal Aid covers all expenses while in foster, so even if you’re planning on adopting, we’ll get her in good shape first.

Interested in meeting her? Reach out to foster.dog@animalaidpdx or swing by the shelter this Saturday 12-4 to say hi! We promise - her big personality
is guaranteed to charm you.
