Animal Aid is excited and grateful to be among the nonprofits participating in this year’s campaign. Our organizational goal is to raise $30,000 by year-end.
In 2021, Animal Aid assisted more than 112 animals and their families in the Portland metro area: We cared for 95 cats and dogs through our rescue and adoption program, provided over $8,000 in financial aid for urgent medical or behavioral care to 17 animals and their guardians through our Animal Aid Cares Fund, and shared more than 5,000 lb. of food and a wide variety of animal care supplies with our 16 It Takes a Pack partners and local guardians.
Beyond the numbers, the biggest impact that we make in our community is our focus on helping animals who have more extensive medical or behavioral conditions and thus fewer rescue options. By devoting the extra time, care, and resources that they need, we aim to save lives that might otherwise be lost, help bring together new families when those animals are adopted, and contribute to a more compassionate community for both the pets and people of Portland.
