HOWL-o-ween BINGO a Winner for Fences For Fido

Board Member Patti Loverink and a member of our foster committee and coordinator of our annual rummage sale Sue Schroeder were dressed appropriately for the event!

Portland, October 20th, 2013. The “Fences For Fido” HOWL-o-ween BINGO drew a cheerful crowd and raised $660. The amount will fully fund a fence—a space of freedom—for one of the group’s waiting, chained Fidos named Boomer. The event was at Joe’s Restaurant on the Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy. Board Member Patti Loverink and a member of the nonprofit’s foster committee celebrated with the coordinator of their annual rummage sale, Sue Schroeder.

Here are some fun photos from benefit:

This young man is quite remarkable in that he saves his allowance and collects donations to help dogs. We think Kyle is pretty special!

Hammy is special dgo, also a tri-pod, who is part of their dog-loving community.

Costume contest winners!

The smiles on the faces of these two new Fences For Fido volunteers show that they’re clearly in their element, among dogs!

A full fence sponsorship is just $600, which provides an insulated dog house, dog bed, freedom fence and spay/neuter for a dog living outside, just like Boomer here. To sponsor freedom for one of the 45+ dogs on our waiting list, please visit www.FencesForFido.org/donate.
