Panels are all lined up with volunteers helping pups in need!
Our Warm Springs Big Build days are typically 1x per month and offer a day of visiting different Fidos, sometimes using different solutions to help families improve the quality of life of their Fidos. We're happy to help!

In case you missed our post yesterday about Doja, please enjoy this 16-second clip TODAY, of pure happiness w/ Doja and her guardian. 🐾💙

One-year-old Doja, indoors at night and was able to go on walks during the day until her guardian needed heart surgery. Doja's guardian's health continues to be compromised, and Doja no longer gets the exercise she needs to get that young pup energy out, instead, she was chained for long hours during the day. Thanks to our Fido Team, sweet Doja has the space she needs to safely run and tether free!

Fences For Fido in the news! 🧡 In case you missed yesterday's post, please watch this 2-minute news clip highlighting some of Oregon's dedicated animal welfare leaders, including our very own, Kelly Peterson, alongside Amanda Arrington from Humane World for Animals, who flew in from North Carolina, bringing her incredible expertise and heart to this conversation.

We're grateful for our collaboration with Companion Animal Medical Project- CAMP, First Nations Veterinary, Brightside Animal Center, Humane Society of Central Oregon, and Humane Society of the Ochocos for being a part of this important event.🐾

BEND, Ore.

Fences For Fido Co-Founder, Kelly Peterson spent time in Bend this week as a host and panelist, thanks to Companion Animal Medical Project- CAMP for convening the first-ever State of Animal Welfare in Central Oregon forum — an important gathering of regional leaders talking about real challenges like shelter capacity, access to care, and housing instability.

A little note from Kelly:

"The past two days have been so inspiring—and, a beautiful example of what happens when communities come together for people and their pets. 💙 Fences For Fido was so honored to be a part of this critical conversation. I’m especially grateful to Amanda Arrington, my colleague from Humane World for Animals, who flew in from North Carolina to guide this conversation with her incredible expertise and heart. That collaborative energy carried through as Amanda and Johannah JW from Companion Animal Medical Project- CAMP, joined our Central Oregon Fences For Fido team to build a fence, deliver doghouses and share pet food on the Warm Springs Reservation, creating safety, warmth, love, and connection where it matters most. Honoring the bond shared between people & their pets—working to keep whole families together." 🐾✨

This is a 2-part story!

For starters, please allow us to point out, the build photos below have great examples of 3 of the top questions we receive!

🏠1. What keeps our Fidos dry in the Winter? Wood chips. They provide insulation, comfort and moisture control. If using, make sure they aren't made with harmful chemicals.
🐾2. What keeps Fidos from jumping or climbing over? A fence topper. You can make one like the one below or an inverted fence topper. There is also the option of Coyote Rollers.
🧡3. What keeps Fidos from digging? Ground wire. We turn our welded wire into ground wire.
Please reach out with questions!

Now for beautiful Ellie, who has a big heart — and a big personality to match! But like some dogs, she has a strong prey drive, which made life a little complicated. Without a secure fence, Ellie had to spend most of her time in a kennel to keep neighborhood cats and small critters safe.

Thanks to our amazing volunteers, Ellie now has a safe, fenced yard where she can stretch her legs, feel the sunshine, and enjoy her freedom — all while keeping the smaller animals around her out of harm’s way. 💛

Building fences is about creating safe spaces for everyone.
Welcome to freedom, sweet Ellie!

We had such a wonderful afternoon on the Warm Springs Reservation. ☀️ As guests on this sovereign land, we're always so honored to return as a trusted community partner alongside Madras Animal Hospital Dr. Rhen and Warm Springs Fire & Safety.
Together, we vaccinated 86 dogs and 25 cats, and shared pet food and supplies with families who love their animals deeply — and show up for them in every way that matters.
These clinics always leave us full of gratitude, for the people, the pets, the smiles, and quiet moments of care and connection in this community. 💗 Theo Perez
Just a few sweet faces and memories (and patience) from the day below. 🤗
