I’m participating in Doggie Dash to help animals in need!

As a Doggie Dash participant, I have the opportunity to make a difference for animals in need by raising funds for Oregon Humane Society. As OHS President and CEO for more than 25 years, I see the power of your donations at work every day.

Your generosity helps more than 10,000 pets each year find a new home; empowers our Humane Law Enforcement team to fight animal cruelty and neglect all over our state; and ensures that pets have access to veterinary care.

This year, Doggie Dash is particularly meaningful as I just welcomed a beloved new dog into my home. Her name is Josie, and she is one of the thousands of pets who receive a second chance thanks to partnerships with more than 50 shelters and rescues throughout Oregon and the region. Having Josie in my life is a constant reminder of the joy that comes from our relationship with our pets and the commitment I have to help more animals just like her.

Please consider showing your support by making a monetary gift or volunteering your time at the event. Stop by the main stage at the event – I would love to introduce you to Josie!

I can't wait to see you at Doggie Dash on May 11th!
