Working Dogs Oregon is .. with multcoso and vca in Oregon These two brave pups did something amazing today! They went to the @vca blood bank in Clackamas Oregon and were blood typed to see if they have a blood type needed! They earned these bandanas they are wearing indicating the lifesaver task they have signed up for! There is an ongoing and tremendous need for blood not only for humans but also for their canine companions. Just like people, dogs get injured, need surgery, and have life threatening illnesses; just like people, dogs need a safe and reliable source of blood in times of crisis. VCA NWVS Critical Care Blood Bank was established in 2006 to provide the highest quality veterinary blood products for the Portland-Vancouver Metro region. Over the past decade, the donations of the lifesaving canine heroes of this blood bank has produced over 8,000 blood components to help the critically ill and injured dogs of Portland.
It is difficult to keep blood in stock and available for emergency situations, such as dogs who have been hit by a car, or for pets who are undergoing lifesaving cancer or surgical procedures. A blood transfusion is the gift of life to these animals and this blood bank is always on the lookout for canine volunteers to donate blood. Enter Brooke and Mick. If you have a big, happy, healthy dog, please contact them to find out how your dog can become a "lifesaver!" To learn more about the VCA-NWVS Critical Care Blood Bank or to set up an appointment, please call (503) 656-3999 or email us at heidi.houchen@vca.com @multcoso Comfort Dog Burton, aka Brooke's Dad, is already a donor and helping to save lives in more ways than one!
#WorkingDogsOregon #RaisingHeroes Program Dogs Mick & Brooke became heroes today getting blood typed to begin donating blood to the VCA (Veterinary Centers of America) in Portland.

Did you know Mick was named in honor of the Portland Police Bureau K9 Unit's own fallen in the line of duty k9 Mick?
#WorkingDogsOregon #RaisingHeroes program puppy Mick. #ComfortDogInTraining Mick was the biggest, chubbiest, laziest puppy in the litter. At 9 months and 95lbs, he's still the biggest & laziest puppy 🤣😂

This is how we start all our Raising Heroes program puppies. Physical & mental exercise & obedience. When you start them young, everything becomes muscle memory. Hali & Flynn are 14 weeks today.

Serenity Sam willbe Working Dogs Oregon's first alcohol and drug treatment center dog. In about one month Sam will be headed to the Central Willamette Valley to join the staff at a 110 bed treatment center. When patients are looking for every reason to leave treatment, our hope is Serenity Sam will give them a reason to stay! Just like with our law enforcement dogs, we never divulge the agency until those receiving the dog announce it first. We will make that announcement when the time is right. Just know that Sam will be a difference maker in a place filled with my own heroes of the community. This staff saves lives everyday! More than that, they save families! We are so excited to be a part of this incredible program!
