Portland Animal Welfare Team

This is a wonderful, non-profit charity that helps pet owners with food, litter, medicine, and a wide variety of pet related items. They can also help with low cost spay and neutering referrals. Pet owners may come once a month, and choose three items. Wonderful staff and pet friendly environment!

The volunteers and workers at PAW are nicer than any vet clinic I have ever experienced. I tear up when i reslize all They have done for me and Beluga, my dog that is an adorable border collie/husky/ Alaska Malamute mix. I am living alone for the first time since my youth and and less than a month after my partner moved out, Beluga came into my life. I do harm reduction outreach and met a young man who was attempting to care for the dog (Beluga) while his original owner was dying in the hospital. Beluga’s newest care taker was living out of a pick up truck with his girlfriend and another dog already and left Beluga with me on a temporary basis. He didn’t come back for 3 days and when he did he broke into my apartment, made a plate of eggs, and fell asleep. Beluga refused to go with him and chose to stay with me. I still let him visit and am still curious to know if anyone on here may know the original owner of this dog. I’ve been caring for Beluga almost a year now and without PAW team I wouldn’t be able to give him the food, medicine, toys, and treats he deserves. Plus, his ear is now chipped, he was awarded a clean bill of health, gets monthly flea medicine chews, is registered with the county and updated on his shots. Thank you PAW team! Without your help, i wouldn’t have been able to afford to take care of Beluga. I am now employed part time and am excited to get involved more with PAW and help others know about the wonderful services and care they give to all our furry friends and their companion💕💕

They are so sweet and helpful! You can go once a month and they are open until 3pm on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. Sometimes they are closed the last week of the month, so try and avoid that week just in case .... Each time you can pick three things plus flea medication. They have kennels, bedding, toys, food, harnesses, cat nip, food bowls.... whatever you need likely

Thanks all you wonderful people, vets and volunteers an amazing program that really helps out the low income community and all their precious pets. And the donuts and coffee and snacks for both human and fur babies really helped the long wait time for assistance. Really good experience and kindness. Happy to have heard about this and hope they get lots of help with supplies and funding thanks everyone that helps.

I can't say enough great and wonderful things about this organization. They have helped myself and so many other local people that have been worried about our animal care and needs. And PAW Team PDX is consistently and admirably a place where we can go for the care and the needs. My animals/pets/kids have never went without because of PAW Team and the people that contribute their time, money, energy and efforts to keep the doors open. I applaud and tip my hat to these individuals, businesses, entities that support their local communities and organizatikns, making animal welfare their concern. Way to go and keep up this selfless desire to give back and maintain/support animal life and integrity.
