 Portland, Oregon - Fences For Fido, an all-volunteer 501c3 non-profit, attends to all needs by building a fence, removing the chain, supplying a warm dog house, providing critical vet care and spay/neuter, and returning as needed to ensure the dog lives a safe, un-chained life.

These volunteers are marking their 1,000th fence built to free dogs that are chained up and can't run free. For more information: 


This is what our volunteers do after the fence building is complete and the Fido is ready to be unchained. We make a large circle of love and, oh yeah, there might be some celebratory squeals as well. Welcome to our 'unchained pack' Cupcake; you are number One Thousand.
