Portland Animal Welfare (PAW) Team

Portland Animal Welfare (PAW) Team provides free and low-cost veterinary care to the pets of people experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty in the Portland Metro area, helping keep people and their companion animals together. These animals provide unconditional love and support to their owners, improving mental and physical health outcomes. Many PAW Team clients are seniors on fixed incomes, whose pets keep them physically active and engaged in their community. PAW Team also serves numerous Veteran and disabled clients, for whom their companion and service animals offer critical and often life-saving support. PAW Team provides vaccinations, flea control, nail trims, medications, pet food and supplies, resourcing for low-cost spay/neuter and dental surgeries, licensing facilitation, and so much more. You can donate time, money, and usable medical supplies . To donate pet food or supplies, please call (503)206-6033 or visit the clinic at 1718 NE 82nd Ave. Portland, OR 97220 Tuesday through Thursday between 10am and 3pm #WhyPAWTeam
