Fern’s Place

She sought out Lola over FaceTime and, invigorated by Avery's mission for her business, paired up with her as a co-founder.

Fern’s Place is a non-profit (all volunteer-based) organization based in Portland, Oregon, that provides foster care for your pets through our foster network while you seek treatment. Our Mission:
Founded in August of 2022, Fern's Place is dedicated to ensuring no person needs to worry about, delay, or omit inpatient medical care or addiction treatment due to the inability to find adequate temporary animal care in the Portland metro area and beyond. How We Started:
Motivated by her brother's experience entering addiction treatment and the struggle to find a home for his pet during his time away, Avery was struck with the vision for Fern's Place.
