Charlie’s Little Doghouse
We are a small dog adoption service serving the Portland Oregon, Vancouver, Washington and surrounding areas. We use to live in Southern California and had a pet supply store from 1995 to 2010 where we only had rescue animals for adoption. We were one of the very first to apply this concept of getting animals out of high kill shelters and finding them good homes. In those 15 years, over 16 thousand rescue animals were placed. We left California in 2016 and moved to Washington. Since living here we noticed that there are not as many animals here for adoption and, knowing the situation in Southern California, we wanted to help.

The Wallflowers Shine Project
Dogs in shelters are too often wallflowers. Because of neglect, like insufficient training or exercise or simply from being ignored, they seldom have a chance to show their true personalities, especially while sitting behind bars. We will try to change that. Getting them out of the shelter environment, working with them to develop social skills, confidence, and trust, while showing and teaching respect, will give them the chance to shine.
