OTATPDX: Can They Win Our $1,000 Spotlight Challenge?

What happens when a foster-based dog rescue creates a place where adopters can meet their future best friend? In this Shelter Spotlight, we visit One Tail at a Time PDX in Portland, Oregon. Adoption Center Manager Adyn Wood gives us a tour of their adoption center and explains how their foster-based model provides dogs with individualized care while helping them find the right homes. We also discuss their adoption process, the importance of foster homes and the different ways people can help—even if they aren’t ready to adopt. 🐾 HELP ONE TAIL AT A TIME PDX View adoptable dogs: https://www.otatpdx.org/adopt Apply to adopt: https://www.otatpdx.org/apply Become a foster: https://www.otatpdx.org/foster Volunteer: https://www.otatpdx.org/volunteer Donate: https://www.otatpdx.org/donate Shop OTAT PDX merchandise: https://otatpdx.threadless.com Follow OTAT PDX:   / otatpdx   🏆 THE $1,000 SHELTER SPOTLIGHT CHALLENGE One Tail at a Time PDX is the first participant in our September Shelter Spotlight Challenge!
