Portland Animal Welfare Team
Helping people and pets stay together,
through veterinary care for pets of people in poverty
Calendar of PAW Team activities and related events
Let us know if you have a related event to post on the calendar.
OK, so Google Calendar just doesn't want to work. We're switching to a new system where you will be able to sign up DIRECTLY on a calendar for various shifts and activities. Thanks for your patience as we implement the new system!
Clinics are now always the first Sunday of the month, unless it's a holiday weekend. Clinics are held at 2700 NW Front Ave, Building J, for anyone in extreme poverty (see if you qualify):
Check the Event Sign-up page to volunteer!
(Please note: We have changed the times of our clinics so that we are starting earlier and ending while it's still light outside, since we are not yet sure if we will have lights in the parking lot.)
All volunteers must attend a one-hour orientation session prior to volunteering, starting with the April 1 clinic, whether you have previously volunteered or not. Once you have attended an orientation, you do not have to attend another one for the rest of the year.
