Join me in supporting Doggie Dash, a fundraiser for Oregon Humane Society!

This past year so much has changed, yet our love of pets is constant. Even with everything that has happened, OHS is still committed to their mission and helping pets and people in need.

Did you know that OHS never puts time limits on how long pets remain at their shelter? What really touches my heart is when a pet arrives at OHS who may be shy or frightened, OHS has a special program to help teach them to trust people and that love is good. Big wins are the simple things like when they first take a treat from your hand or their first wag of their tail, but the really big win is the loving home they will be ready for when adopted.

And when it comes to helping abused or neglected pets, they have a Humane Law Enforcement team that is in the field, taking extra precautions during COVID, to investigate reports of animals who sometimes are in desperate situations. However, many times, humane officers are connecting struggling pet owners with lifesaving supplies or resources.

OHS realized early during the pandemic that pet owners needed help and OHS has stepped up to support pet owners around the state. Close to 100,000 pounds of pet food was delivered to shelters and food pantries around the state, and given directly to owners at free pet food banks at OHS.

I hope your pets were a comfort to you through this very challenging past year.

And I'm hoping you'll join me in helping pets from all walks of life. Please donate now! My friend Lisa donated appreciated stock. Please let me know if you want more information on the tax advantages of and how to donate stock.

Do you have a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from a retirement plan? Do you know that if you have the check made to OHS you won't have to report the income on your tax return? Contact me, or your finanancial advisor, for more information.

Lisa kicked off my campaign with a bang. To keep the (tennis) ball rolling, I will match additional donations to my account, up to $5,000 total. Will you help me help the animals?

Lisa adopted the orange kitty in the picture. One of my fosters, I am happy to share this picture as a thank you and to let you know Doggie Dash doesn't just help dogs.

Thank you so much!
