Oregon Dog Rescue

"For years ago, I got my best friend from the Oregon Dog Rescue. They are great organization that adapted during the pandemic and have rescued and adopted out hundreds of dogs each year. They are well recognized in the community and are a great organization with decided employees and volunteers. I’m forever grateful to them for rescuing my best friend."

"This is a great rescue with a wonderful caring team. We adopted our boy from them two years ago. I adopted him shortly after losing my dog of 12 years. He was a stray in Mexico and is now sleeping next to me on my bed in Oregon. They fix broken heart one adoption at a time."

"We first became familiar with Oregon Dog Rescue when my daughters and I volunteered walking dogs at the rescue. I followed them on instagram knowing the next dog we owned would be a rescue. Years later, ODR posted a photo of an adorable Great Pyrenees puppy that needed a forever home. Our entire family, along with our Golden, went in to meet him. The photos of him when he was surrendered to the shelter in California were heartbreaking. ODR transported him along with so many other dogs from other states. We are so thankful that this big boy is part of our family. We love him so very much! We are thankful for ODR for saving such a large quantity of dogs and finding forever homes for them"

"Oregon Dog Rescue does the best job engaging their community by letting people volunteer to help the dogs in even small, fun ways like walking a rescue dog or taking them on a field trip. They are fantastic at making sure all of their dogs are well cared for and go to quality homes."

"We have adopted two dogs from Oregon Dog Rescue after our boy Scout of 17 years passed in 2021. We were not looking to get another dog but we saw Leia’s (Fern) picture and had to meet her. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and we fell in love with Leia. Then a year later, we decided Leia needed a brother and found our Finn (Hippo) at ODR. We didn’t look anywhere else because ODR has proven that they have and take wonderful care of the rescues in their care. ODR is an amazing place and I would go there if we ever added another fur baby to our family."

"Oregon Dog Rescue holds a special place in our hearts as the place where we found our beloved Teddy. Their commitment to the well-being of every dog is evident from the moment you walk through their doors. The staff's passion and dedication shine through in every interaction, ensuring that each adoption is a perfect match. Teddy has brought boundless love and happiness into our home, and we are forever grateful to Oregon Dog Rescue for bringing us together. Thank you for everything you do for these deserving animals."
