Puppy Love » Happy Hour for Animal Lovers (Save the Date!)
by pearlgirl
Puppy love: call yourself an animal lover? We'll drink to that (with you, of course). Vault Martini and Neighborhood Notes have joined forces in hosting Portland's exclusive monthly happy hour for animal lovers. Every last Monday of the month, Vault will donate 15% of event proceeds to our favorite Portland animal non-profit organizations. Happy hour cocktails and food will be offered 5-8:30 p.m. Mark your calendar for Monday, November 24th, when we'll raise our glasses (and forks) to the Pixie Project . Pixie Project facilitates adoption and healthy lifestyles for thousands of dogs and cats each year. Puppy party favors will be given to the first 20 guests. Big thanks to everybody who joined us in October for "Cocktails for Kitties," benefiting the Feral Cat Coalition . Your happy hour donation has contributed to "kitty contraception" citywide. Cheers!

Dog Boxes on Pearl District Decks
by pdxdog
A great number of Pearl District residents have dogs, as we all know. Many have smaller dogs who can use potty boxes. I've heard recently that there have been some objections to residents/owners placing these boxes on their decks. If they are kept clean, does anyone know why this would be a problem? It appears that some homeowners are creating problems for those dog owners. Interested in reponses to this issue.

Pixie Project Worth a Visit
by northwest nola
I admit that I am a total sucker for animals. Let's just put it this way, my husband and I live in less than 500 square feet and we now have two cats and a dog. We can't help it, we love them all, and being forced to leave a pet store, shelter, etc. without a new pet is very much like torture! But then again, i don't want to become the "Crazy Cat Lady," either! Up until yesterday, Hubby and I only had two pets -- our cats Lucas and Timber. That all changed last evening when we went to my new favorite animal rescue site, The Pixie Project , to pick up our newest furry friend, Newman the Dog. We discovered Newman last weekend at one of the Pixie Project's satellite locations, Dog Star , a doggy daycare in the Pearl. Dog Star is kind enough to house shelter pets for The Pixie Project and often has as many as 6 dogs and cats on site, just because they love animals. Knowing that Dog Star houses shelter animals, we have periodically popped in over the past couple months to se

Looking for a New Best Friend? Check Out Oregon Dog Rescue!
by pearlgirlMeet Latka My name is Latka and I'm a male German Shepherd. The shelter picked me up because I was a stray. I can be aloof with strangers at first but once I know you I am the best companion in the world! I weigh 72 lbs and I'm approx. 2 1⁄2 years old. No cats please. My adoption fee is $150. We will be at a special event Saturday, August 9th, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Tualatin Crawfish festival located at Tualatin Community Park near the intersection of Boones Ferry Rd. and Tualatin Rd. Visit Oregon Dog Rescue for more information on Latka. Cats Aren't the Only Ones with Nine Lives There's another side of the animal adoption process that most of us never see—rescue and rehabilitation. Thanks to organizations such as Oregon Dog Rescue, we see the end result: a healthy dog in need of a good home. We don't see the lives these dogs led prior to their rescue. Some come from puppy mills, others are strays, and many others are from owners w

Testing Ground in the Pearl
by pearlgirl
There's an interesting experiment taking place in the Kearney Plaza pedestrian corridor between NW 11th and 12th Avenues. A test patch of SYNLawn artificial turf has been installed as an alternative to grass. This particular greenspace has been a maintenance nightmare for the Hoyt Street Yards Community Association (HSYCA). Poor drainage and extremely heavy dog traffic requires the sod to be replaced every few years. Even then the result is a boggy patch of grass with an aggressive case of male pattern baldness. Blech. Bryce Stephens, Senior Property Manager at Multi-Services, discovered SYNLawn on the "Street of Dreams." Because it looked so real and was highly recommended for use in dog areas, Stephens proposed testing it in the Kearney greenspace. Installed this spring, the patch will be left to the environment and to the dogs during summer and winter. HSYCA will evaluate its performance in Spring 2009. If it is found to be satisfactory, SYNLawn will replace all of

HeartBreak—Great Pups for Adoption
by pdxdog
We are so lucky to be in such a wonderful dog loving community. pdxdog.com is only one site where you can find some of the hundreds of dogs up for adoption—placed on our site by the many rescue and adoption groups in our area. Too many of the stories will break your heart and the dogs are so sweet. They just want a good home and love, just like all of us. We know that there are a lot of animals that need good homes, maybe yours is one of them. Everytime I read one of these "bad" care stories, I get so angry and disgusted at these very thoughtless and stupid people. It's simple, just don't have a dog, if you don't want to take care of one! If you are looking for a pup, check pdxdog.com and the many selfless and fantastic groups that help them out. In the future, we will list some of them for you to check out. Maybe you can comment by listing someone you know that rescues and adopts dogs... We can be the best adoption and rescue city!!! Thanks Portland!
