Gina and Chloe need space to run!

Just 2 gals running around in the country, until things changed.

Meet Gina.  (Chloe is in the picture below in the kennel.)
She was such a doll and immediately made herself at home in our vehicles.
Don't you love those floppy ears?!

Country life is a little different than living in the city.
A slower pace is standard,
but to those not used to this way of life, things may seem a little strange.
See, growing up in the country, our dogs run free.
They visit neighboring  fields and friendly dogs all around.
They run!
Acres and acres of space to run, and dogs just love it.

But what happens when those acres are sold and new homes are built?
Country dogs don't understand why people yell at them for running through fields that they ALWAYS run through.
This is what happened to Gina and Chloe.
These two beautiful German Shepherds have always run free,
but the new neighbors don't understand that element of country life.
So these two gals got in trouble.
No more running free for them.
Their lives became very small, and they became very unhappy.

But, no worries, because their human contacted us at Fences For Fido!
And there is nothing that we enjoy doing more than un-chaining pups and giving them their freedom back.
It's what we do.
And these gals didn't disappoint with running fast and free.

You know that you're a FFF volunteer when you laugh while pulling ground wire.

Yes, we make any activity fun.  Of course, being with your friends does that every time.

What a crew! This was a large build.

And Gina was so funny! 

She would be mesmerized by the shadows on the ground 

and follow them around.  

Silly girl.

While Gina kept us entertained, we worked on completing her fence.

I even tried my hand at hammering.

Hammering, hammering, hammering...but when you stick out your tongue it's much more effective.

Even as we finished up the fence, Gina and Chloe were already 

running, playing, and exploring their new space.

And boy did they run fast!

Before we left, all of the volunteers made sure to give Gina and Chloe felt our love.

We played, petted, and hugged...it's my favorite part of the day.

And, boy do we love our Fido's. 

I'm pretty sure that the Fido's know how much we love them too.

Do you want to help unchain more dogs around Oregon and SW Washington?

Go to Fences for Fido and donate.  

Remember that every dollar counts.

Or better yet, come out and volunteer with us! 

Who wouldn't want to cuddle a Fido and change their life?
