Pierre, like many family dogs, was so loved.
His days consisted of morning belly rubs, afternoon string cheese snacks, and daily walks to find his stick of the day.
We were two peas in a pod who needed each other every day. I have never loved anything more.
Such a special kind of love, in turn, can make a sudden loss so much harder. So many of us have experienced this as a part of life in one way or another.
Since losing Pierre, I have thought - what is something I can do to provide the same quality of life Pierre had for local dogs in need?
That is when I founded P’s Pals.
Our Story
A fundraiser supporting Oregon Dog Rescue
In Pierre’s memory, I founded P’s Pals: Pet Pantry with one goal in mind—to help other dogs experience the same love, care, and full life that Pierre had.
Because of the incredible generosity of friends and family, we raised $10,000 in 2025 —enough to help feed the dogs at Oregon Dog Rescue, a 501(c)(3) non-profit and no-kill shelter that found loving homes for 2,075 dogs in 2025 alone.
But today, the need is even greater. Across the country, overcrowding is pushing shelters past their limits. More than 750,000 animals are currently at risk of death, not because they aren’t worthy of love, but because there simply isn’t enough space, food, or resources.
Oregon Dog Rescue steps in to save dogs from euthanasia lists in other states, giving them a second chance at life.
But that second chance depends on something very basic: food.
I volunteer weekly in the puppy room, and I see this need firsthand. Food isn’t just nourishment; it’s what keeps these dogs healthy, adoptable, and alive long enough to find their forever homes.
This April, I’m setting a goal to raise another $10,000 to ensure every dog at the rescue is fed, cared for, and given the best possible chance at adoption.
All in memory of Pierre.
