In honor of the one-year anniversary of Oregon’s historic anti-tethering law, Fences For Fido’s Central Oregon Chapter is launching Unchain Central Oregon, with the goal of freeing 50 “fidos” in 2015.
Fences For Fido (FFF), an all-volunteer nonprofit, reaches out to families with dogs living outdoors on chains, offering a free fence, spay/neuter and a new dog house. This concept has touched the heart of Oregonians as they see first-hand the tangible difference a fence can make for both the dogs and their families.
“We think this goal is very achievable, considering the fact that in 2014, we unchained 56 dogs from Warm Springs to Prineville and down to La Pine,” says La Donna Sullivan, Fences For Fido’s Central Oregon director. “Our organization helped pass this law, and we want to do our best to help the people of Central Oregon complyand do right by the pets we know they love.”
On Friday, January 30 from 5 to 7pm, FFF will kick off the Free 50 Fidos in 2015 effort with a celebration and volunteer round-up at Birdie’s Cafe (1444 NW College Way, Ste 1, Bend). Volunteers and those interested in joining the Fences For Fido effort are encouraged to attend this evening of fun with fellow animal loving friends. Refreshments will be served.
Fences For Fido’s Central Oregon Chapter is also asking the public to support their goal to Free 50 Fidos in 2015 with monetary in in-kind donations of supplies and equipment.
