Struttin' to Save Them All

Yep, we strut.
Murphy and I love to strut and strut well.
We're talented at strutting.
If you lived in our neighborhood
then you would see this amazing strutting at least twice a day.
Of course there's a lot of sniffing during those struts,
but we still strut strong.
Often we lend our strutting abilities to animal charities around Portland.
I believe that our strutting helps immensely. ;)

You know what else would help immensely?
YOU!
Yep, you.
You are the difference.
Murphy and I will be strutting our stuff on September 13th
for the Best Friends Animal Society at Sellwood Riverfront Park.
As Best Friends, Murphy and I have to be there!
We will be walking in support of our heart charity Fences For Fido.

So how can you help?
Here are a couple ways;

1) Join us and strut your stuff!
You could join our FFF pack or another charity.  It doesn't matter really, because we all work together.  That's one of the beautiful things about the Portland animal community.

2) Donate to Murphy.
He'll strut his stuff for you!  I promise that his tail will be high, he'll sniff everywhere, and give big tongue smiles the entire way.  He's an expert strutter, I'm just his companion on this day.

And his sweet little best friend Miss IO will strut her cute stuff too. Probably in her adorable rain coat...seriously, she just the cutest.


3) Volunteer to help at the event.
People and their passion make this event happen.  You could be a part of making it a success!

4) Adopt, don't shop for your next pet.
Really, this is what it's all about anyway.  Watch the following video and see why it's so important to support animal shelters.

Help Best Friends break the puppy mill cycle and save lives

As always, thank you for supporting my furry friends
and all of my fur-goals to help others meet their best friend.
Big Hugs,
Lori and Murphy (WOOF!)

Charity Spotlight on PAWS

If you didn't know yet...it's kitten season.
Of course you know this!
There are kittens everywhere!

No one knows this more than PAWS Animal Shelter located in West Linn, Oregon.
Okay, I'm sure every shelter is dealing with the same issue, but PAWS needs our help.
It seems like every day now
they are posting pictures of precious little kittens
that have been abandoned by their mothers,
found by local citizens,
and brought to the care of volunteers at PAWS.
This little shelter makes miracles happen every day for orphaned
and abandoned animals and
provides a safe, comfortable space until the animals can find forever homes.
Just look at these sweet little faces! 

It takes many hands and hearts to make these miracles happen,
and for some of you maybe the way you could help would be to shop.
Yes...I said shop! 

This Saturday there will be a garage sale 
and all of the money will go to help this great organization.
I LOVE a garage sale, so you know that I'll be there.
17440 Redfern Ave 
Lake Oswego, Oregon 97035
9am-5pm

It takes money to take care of these orphaned kittens and if you can help, please do.
I love helping small, local organizations,
because you can see your money directly impact your community.
