Petco saves all damaged freight for OFOSA to distribute to rescues.
They typically call on a weekday and we have to arrange for pickup of the goods within a few days of the call. Due to the short notice, if you are interested we will put your name on the calling list and call to check if you are available for a few hours in the middle of the day to help load the supplies and unload them at our storage facility. Usually the entire pick up only requires 3 hours of your time, but the food, litter and supplies are often quickly distributed to rescues and shelters in need. Including our fosters!

Adoptions at Petco

Saturdays and Sundays - 11:30AM - 4:30PM
OFOSA offers adoptions at three Petco locations. Please check the volunteer calendar above for the dates where the “volunteers needed” notation appears. You can also email OFOSArescues@gmail.com  or call Catherine L at 503.804.4657 for more information.
 

Spay/Neuter Clinic

Weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays - Spay and Neuter Clinic in our mobile unit.  If you are interested but don't feel you have the skills, OFOSA people will give you the necessary training to help. Volunteers are welcome if you find you have time on a given Wednesday or Thursday call or email Cyndi.  This is located at OFOSA's headquarters in Hillsboro, near Aloha High School.
 

Clinic Assistance

If you have clinic experience or are willing to learn AND are available during the day between 7 AM – 3PM any day of the week.  We maintain an isolation room and temporary holding area for the cats, kittens, and some dogs that are in process. This room needs daily cleaning to prevent the spread of infection and laundry always needs to be done. We are looking for two volunteers to clean, organize and generally socialize with the animals every day of the week.

 

Currently there are a few volunteers who come through, but we would like to keep this common area cleaner and more organized so we can keep the adoptee's on medical hold healthy while they are waiting for a forever home.

Please contact Cyndi at OFOSArescues@gmail.com about becoming a Clinic Assistant volunteer.
