Meet Sparkle!!!

Animal Aid is a non-profit no-kill shelter rescue and outreach organization which is actively working to better the lives of the pets in the Portland metro area since 1969. They have numerous shelters that house cats that are available for adoption. They also have about 10-15 dogs that the volunteers foster in their own homes because they don’t have a facillity for dogs at this time. They also provide $40 spay and neuter coupons that various veterinary clinics accept. There are many ways to help Animal Aid, volunteering, adopting, and donating money and food are just a few. Check out their website to see how you can help. My son and I have volunteered at the cat shelters, it was a great way to introduce a 10 years old to the idea of volunteering. We cleaned cat boxes and sanitized the general area, and spent a few hours giving love to each cat. I recommend it highly.  Animal Aid also incorporates a lot of fun with volunteering as you can see below.

Multnomah County Animal Shelter

Multnomah County Animal shelter does not charge an adoption fee for cats one year or older, this means you can walk out with a great new friend for $9.00, the cost of the county license. You can check out the animals available for adoption and al the other events they have scheduled on their website.

Our newest customer came to us in the hardest possible way.

Meet Eva, a Chinese Crested that came in for her first shopping trip ever.  She was accompanied by her new owner Becky Smith.

Eva, five years old, survived an extraordinary ordeal being one of the surviving dogs of an elderly animal hoarder who died in her West Linn home in early June .  She took with her eleven other pets.  Police found 60 remaining animals in the home. Many had neurological symptoms from carbon monoxide exposure.  The healthiest went to the Clackamas shelter, and those with neurological symptoms went to Veterinary Specialist NW for treatment.  Not all were saved.

Becky, a compassionate vet tech at Rose City Veterinary Hospital and a tech at Veterinary Specialist NW on 82nd Place in Clackamas, took Eva to be her own.

Life has taken a giant turn for the better for Eva.  Now her life is full of happy experiences like learning the joy of riding in the car, shopping at Sellwood Dog Supply, wearing fleece jackets, meeting new people and going to work with Becky.

We all thank Becky for saving Eva and wish Eva the happiest new life.

We’ve heard so many great stories about our customers and their beloved pets that we thought it’s high time we start sharing them! Let us know if you have a story to tell! We’d love to have pictures too!
