BAPBR is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit, no-kill organization, based in Portland, Oregon, dedicated to creating a better future for pit bull type dogs (and some small dogs, too–we call them “Not-a-Bulls”. Everything we do for dogs in need is done through the generous donations of individuals. We at Born Again Pit Bull Rescue (BAPBR) are always working to help unburden crowded animal shelters by transferring pit bull type dogs and small dogs, too (we enter them into our Not-a-Bulls program), into our foster home network. Our foster families provide a soft-landing, consistency and some basic manners, along with lots of love–not to mention a way more fun temporary home than a kennel at a shelter! We are always recruiting to expand our foster home team—please consider opening your home to become an animal angel!

HOPES HAVEN
www.lhopeshavenfriends.org
Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/
Hopes Haven began as a dream for our founder, Marsha Chambers. A televised news story about a case of obscene animal abuse broke her heart. Video of the scene revealed several deceased and emaciated dogs. Of those still alive, only two were determined to have any chance of survival. Marsha, called the humane society where the dogs were taken and asked if a terribly emaciated Doberman on the newscast could be held for her to adopt if she survived. Caregivers named the Doberman Hope. Hope’s life had been one of being chained inside a barn and forced to have litter after litter of puppies, all while rarely seeing the light of day. Although Hope never did fully recover. She did indeed survive and lived with Marsha for almost thirteen months before she died. Hopes Haven is a tribute to her and to all the innocent dogs that have had their trust betrayed by unworthy guardians.
While Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes in need are the breeds of focus, Hopes Haven will rarely turn away a dog in need. We love dogs of all breeds and believe that any homeless animal deserves a second chance.

Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/
We started out as a small group of animal lovers and shelter volunteers who couldn’t “click off” email pleas any longer . We just started saying YES to dogs in need. Followed by amazing cats in need. We are not breed specific, but do love our Pits and Pit mixes who are always the last in the shelters and first in our hearts. We have connected with great trainers, super adopters and people within the rescue community to build a strong network to help these animals. But we are “DOING IT” and “LOVING IT”. We rescue cats and dogs from high-euthanasia shelters and give them a second chance at life. We also focus on the homeless animals in desperate need of assistance within our local communities. All of our animals are given health exams, spayed and neutered, vaccinated and micro chipped prior to adoption. We also include professional training assistance as part of our adoption package for most dogs.
