Donating to Family Dogs

Family Dogs New Life is a 501 c3 non profit organization supported solely by our adoption fees and by donations from the public. We receive no government funding and are not affiliated with any other county shelter or humane society. As a small privatley run non profit we work hard to help homeless dogs in our community (and beyond) on a small budget. An average of 100 dogs come through our care per month, and it costs just over $17,000 per month to operate our shelter…. we rely on your donations to make this possible! Your donation to Family Dogs New Life Shelter goes directly to helping us save as many lives as possible.

Family Dogs New Life Shelter is a non-profit no kill dog shelter located in Portland Oregon. Dedicated to rescuing and rehoming needy dogs of all ages, breeds and backgrounds; our organization was built on the belief that all dogs deserve a second chance at a new life.
