February 2: Animal Aid Volunteer Volunteer Appreciation Potluck Party

We had a wonderful time! The theme for the evening was "snowflakes" – because, like snowflakes, each of our volunteers is unique.

Many thanks to Bonny, Denise and all the folks that helped decorate, set up, and clean up. And talk about the great food brought to the Potluck! Animal Aid volunteers have many talents...

February 14 – March 17: Seventh Annual Tom & Mom Cat Special

In conjunction with Spay Day USA, Animal Aid and six other local animal rescue groups teamed with participating local veterinary clinics to offer low-income households the opportunity to spay or neuter their cats for only $10. Over 500 cats were altered through this event!

It's not just rabbits that multiply like rabbits....

June 27-29: USDAA NW Regional Agility

Thank you to our
Agility Ring Crews!

Hats off to the 61 hard-working volunteers who joined our Special Projects Team Agility Ring Crew to work the June 27-29 USDAA Regional Agility Trial in Canby!

No softies, these folks – they made it through a 10-hour day on Friday, 100+ degree heat on Satuday, and a thunderstorm on Sunday! And then asked when they could come back and do it again....

The money earned from this event will go directly into the Jack Hurd Medical Loan program for emergency veterinary expenses.

Have something you want to donate? We're a 501(c)(3) charity, remember, and we love writing tax receipts! We have limited storage, however, so we'd be grateful if you can hang onto that item until a little closer to the date. Contact our Garage Sale Coordinators at .
