DoveLewis Stray Animal & Wildlife Program

DONATE to the Stray Animal and Wildlife Program

Hundreds of injured strays, lost pets and hurt wild animals come to DoveLewis from county shelters, good samaritan citizens,
police officers, and firefighters each year. We also regularly care for injured wildlife when the Audubon Society is
closed on evenings and weekends.

We try to find every injured stray’s owner by taking a snapshot of the animal, and posting it on our Lost & Found Pet Database
This database is the most comprehensive place to look for a lost pet in the Portland area.

It is not uncommon for the cost of emergency treatment for lost, stray, and wild animals to rise above $200,000 every year.
DoveLewis works with all county shelters, and complies with their protocols regarding stray animals.  We  receive minimal reimbursement for emergency stray care from three of the five surrounding county animal control agencies. 
That reimbursement comes only for animals which county agents bring in themselves. No county reimburses DoveLewis for animals brought in by good samaritans. Good samaritans are asked to make a donation for the care of the animal they have rescued, but the expense is often much greater than the contribution. Care for wildlife and the remainder of the expenses for stray and lost animal care is covered through the Stray Animal & Wildlife Fund. 

Help us make this year safe, warm and happy for all animals. Make your gift to the DoveLewis Stray Animal & Wildlife Fund today.
