Please help two former PAWS shelter cats receive vet care they need. In the past, if pet owners couldn't afford vet care, they were told to return their pets to the shelter they adopted them from and have the shelter pay for the care. I don't believe that this is right. Please help if you can #cats

She has an approved adopter, but she hasn't gotten back to us about if she wants Bitsy if she's a 3-legged dog. 💔

Shaindel Beers @shaindelr.bsky.social · 21h

Bitsy is hanging out at my house because she was getting depressed at the shelter. We've been trying since June to save her leg, but the vet is now recommending amputation because it isn't healing the way she'd hoped. 💔 #dogs

I cannot believe that there is a homophobic Oregon State Representative named "Boomer Wright." We are clearly living in a simulation.

I think I ended up here because I loved Northern Exposure so much as a young teen. I know the show's about Alaska, but so much of the cast is really from *here*. And now I'm working with tribal animal control to rescue a cat from a campground that closed for the season. 😬

My new favorite social media trend is everyone posting photos of themselves sipping coffee and looking delightul on the war-ravaged streets of Portland 😊💗 ‧𓍢ִ໋☕ ׂ 𓈒 ⋆ ۪

Please share. Wesley's family says he went fishing and didn't return.

An AI horror story: A friend's daughter left her phone on the roof of her car and drove off. Because of the rate of speed and the phone falling off the roof of the car, my friend got an automated text from her daughter's phone that her daughter had been in a car accident.

I volunteered once on a campaign for Supervisor of Elections in Florida, and it was a really interesting learning experience.

Possibly to avoid gerrymandering/election shenanigans?

I don't even know how to say this, but the Bayh family produces people who are at once brilliant politicians and hot 🔥 . Apologies for my Democratic Hoosier niche post.

I have two friends who ran the half marathon and raved about how pleasant it was. Live bands all along the way, people cheering them on :-) I can't believe the people buying the "war ravaged" story.

We had to alternate them between two neighbor dogs in my husband's home office and two on our fenced in "dog porch" and then our own five dogs upstairs. The four neighbor dogs were freaked out; my dogs were freaked out. Nine dogs is a lotta dogs 🤣

A neighbor left suddenly for a family emergency and thought that their dogs would be fine home alone with access to a doggie door. All four of her dogs escaped and had to stay at my house since the pound and shelter were full. Yesterday was an ADVENTURE 😬 #dogs

1.45 miles, 145 foot elevation gain. Tried to get a quick run in before getting everyone ready for an away soccer game. So many birds! Wild turkeys, northern flickers, and the sunrise 🌅 #CharityMiles #everymilematters #getoutside

Seriously! It's so fun! Hoping others are inspired to come up with their own wacky party/fundraisers for local not-for-profits :-)

Shaindel Beers @shaindelr.bsky.social · 8d

I look forward to this drink every year! This ladies' club wears inflatable costumes and stops cars at an intersection to collection donations for @pawspendletonor.bsky.social . It is SUCH a fun event!

@PAWSPendletonOR @pawspendletonor.bsky.social · 8d

Thank you to the Cherry Bombs and BackFire Station for this fabulous event! This year's fundraiser raised $812 total with in-person and online donations! A party that raises money for our shelter and has its own signature drink? We think this is a win-win for *everyone* 💗🍒💣
