Family Dogs needs your help!
We are in much need of donations. Monetary donations are the most helpful, it costs $10,000 per month to keep our shelter running and we depend solely on our adoption fees and your donations to keep things going.
However we are always in need of supplies.
At this time we are in most need of: dogs toys, dog treats/chews, cleaning supplies, fold top sandwich bags, 1 gallon zip locks bags, garbage bags (all sizes), new leashes and collars.
If you would like to make a donation please mail a check to:
or drop off donated items at:
9101 SE Stanley Ave, Portland OR 97206.
Thank you for your support.
