GIVE GUIDE 2025
Stumptown FB 11/5/25
"Mr. Rogers once shared that when he was a child and was scared by the news, his mother would tell him “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
In 2025 when many of us are frightened and angered by things we’re seeing in the news, we’re leaning hard into being helpers in our communities. And part of that for us means focusing our energy into how Stumptown Strays can help and care for our corner of the world - by giving shelter dogs with treatable medical needs, who may never have seen the outside of a shelter, the chance they deserve at a healthy life with a loving family.
Approximately 334,000 dogs are euthanized in shelters every year. The expense of surgery and medical care is a major contributor driving that statistic. Most shelters are over capacity and unable to afford to take on expensive medical treatment.
Stumptown Strays is uniquely positioned to help these animals and alleviate strain on our shelter system!
When you donate to Stumptown Strays through Willamette Week’s Give!Guide, you’re helping us lower that euthanasia number one dog at a time.
Today also happens to be a Big Give Day where any donations of $10 or more enter you into a drawing to win a prize package of an airplane tour with Envi Adventures, tickets to the Oregon Ballet, $250 in gift cards to Le Pigeon and Canard, AND a staycation with Shift Vacation Rentals. All of that could give your brain a really nice break before jumping back into helping more!
"Who
knows, maybe the next dog we save will uplift your life by becoming
your new family member and your kind donation helped make it happen."
Stumptown Strays Rescue is located in Portland Oregon.
Mission
Stumptown Strays is committed to
rescuing shelter dogs (and the occasional cat!) with treatable medical
needs, providing lifesaving veterinary care, and aiding these dogs on
their path to their forever homes.
According to the ASPCA,
hundreds of thousands of dogs are euthanized in shelters annually. The
high cost of surgery and medical care is a major contributor driving
this statistic. Founded by veterinarians, Stumptown Strays
partners with our local over-crowded animal shelters and rescues as well
as other dog rescue organizations in Washington, California, and Texas,
to take in dogs with treatable medical needs that may prevent them from
ever making it out of the shelter.
Once an animal has
received and recovered from the medical treatment and surgeries we
provide, we work in partnership with our foster families to match each
dog with their forever families. We could not do this important and
expensive work without your generous donations!
