Portland Waterfront Pet Food Drive

Portland Waterfront Living is please to support our four-legged friends around Portland.  The image below is from a page in our newsletter that goes out to over 1,800 waterfront residents in Dunthorpe, John's Landing, Sellwood, South Waterfront and Riverplace.  

A Tail of Community Involvement

Kathy Quick from Quick & Associates Real Estates was doing fund raising for Portland Waterfront Food Drive and got talking to Karen Naylor from The Pampered Pooch and Bill LaPolla from Pet Loft.  All agreed that we also needed to support our four-legged friends.  So, the Portland Waterfront Pet Food Drive was born.

I called Sharon Harmon, Executive Director at Oregon Humane Society (who is one of the nicest, most helpful non-profit CEO's that I've had the pleasure of dealing with).  She told me that the need for pet food is very urgent and was happy that Portland Waterfront Association was getting the word out on their behalf.

From there, we reached out to Andrea Schnieder at pdxdog.com who generously lent her support to the cause ... and thought that Barbara Roach from Oregon Dog Rescue could use some love and dog food for her rescued pets. Barb's also is a branch manager at Prudential NW.  She sends out a company-wide email announcing both the Food Drive and the Pet Food Drive.

Simply amazing.  Good work all.
