The Portland Animal Welfare (PAW) Team is a grassroots, volunteer-powered nonprofit that is dedicated to saving lives and alleviating suffering by providing free veterinary care to the pets of people experiencing homelessness or extreme poverty. With over 1,000 Portland-area families served per year, PAW Team plays a vital role in keeping pets and their owners together. At PAW Team, we understand that for many of our clients, home is where their beloved companion animal is.

That's why our robust medical program offers essential wellness services, vaccinations, parasite prevention, medication, management of chronic conditions, food, pet supplies, and more. We provide veterinary care through weekday appointments and drop-in wellness clinics at our NE Portland facility. With no veterinarians on staff, we rely on the kind contributions of our network of volunteers to power our clinics.

Their generous time and energy help us provide these essential services, ensuring that pets stay happy and healthy with the people who love them the most. Join us in making a difference by donating, getting help, or volunteering. Together, we can make a positive impact in the lives of pets and their owners
