Volunteering at OTAT PDX

I found myself in an unusual situation for a pet sitter — a free weekday afternoon without the company of dogs or cats. I decided to make the most of it and volunteer at One Tail at a Time Dog Rescue! I got to meet the sweetest puppy by the name of Francis. (More on Francis below.)

Located on the corner of NE Sandy and NE 52nd, OTAT’s mission is "to improve the lives of companion animals by providing humane, individualized care and a chance to know the comforts of a loving home through advocacy, education, and support of those in need.”

I spent my free afternoon with Francis, a playful 9.5 month old puppy with floppy ears and the sweetest face. He’s very smart and is treat motivated — I think he’d learn lots of tricks very quickly. Francis is currently available to foster or adopt from OTAT, as are other sweet pups. OTAT’s next adoption event is Saturday November 8th from 1 - 3pm.

Thanks OTAT and Francis for a sweet afternoon!
