Thank You for an Unforgettable Celebration! On August 8th, over 600 guests joined us to celebrate the opening of our new Sutherlin Dog Shelter - touring the space, meeting our adoptable pets, and seeing firsthand what this shelter means for the animals in our care. We are still smiling, and it's because of supporters like you who made the day special!

This shelter represents a huge leap forward for the animals in our care, and it will continue saving thousands of lives every year for countless years to come. None of it would be possible without a community like ours behind it. Furkids founder and CEO Samantha Shelton stated, "Seeing hundreds of our supporters walk through the Sutherlin Dog Shelter and light up with excitement was a moment I won’t soon forget. This shelter will save thousands of lives for generations to come, and none of it would be possible without this amazing community".
