Give Medical Care to Stray Animals and Wildlife

Injured or ill stray animals are found and brought to DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital by good Samaritans, police officers, firefighters, and county shelter staff.  In FY16, DoveLewis provided emergency veterinary care for 1,509 injured or ill strays, which was 115 more stray animals  than in FY15.  These lost, injured and abandonded stray animals or wild birds and small wilflife find comfort and medical care at DoveLewis at the time they need it the most. In an effort to reunite as many strays with their families as possible, we always scan for microchips and post photos on our online lost and found pet database.  Over the years, we have reunited countless lost animals with their families via our lost and found database. We work with the Audubon Society  of Portland by caring for ill or injured birds and small widlife on evenings and weekends when the Audubon Society is closed, and then the next morning we transfer these birds and small wildlife to the Audubon Society for ongoing care and rehabilitation.  From January 1 - July 13, 2016, 826 stray pets, birds and small wildlife have received care at DoveLewis thanks to those who so kindly support the Stray Animal & Wildlife Fund.

This 3 week-old stray kitten was brought to DoveLewis by an apartment manager who heard him crying.  There had been a litter of kittens nearby;  the mother cat had moved the litter, but somehow this little guy was left behind.  The apartment manager brought him to DoveLewis.  He was covered in fleas, dehydrated and had an eye infection.  A DoveLewis employee fostered him, and named him 'Ernie'.  She bottle fed Ernie and he thrived in her care.  When he was old enough, he was adopted by a loving family.

This litter of 8 orphaned, underweight stray kittens were brought to DoveLewis by a good Samaritan.  The 'runt' of the litter had an eye infection.  The DoveLewis Stray Animal and Wildlife Program/Fund gave them the second chance they deserve.

This sweet female stray Maltese mix dog was found and brought to DoveLewis. She had a matted coat, overgrown nails, and was dehydrated. 

This adorable little stray dog, thought to be a Pomeranian/Papillion mix, was found in a county outside the Portland Metro area brought to DoveLewis by a good Samaritan.  He had alopecia and dry eyes. 

These injured or ill stray animals pictured above, and so many more who find their way to DoveLewis, get the second chance they need and deserve thanks to the wonderful people who so kindly support DoveLewis' Stray Animal & Wildlife Fund.  Thanks in advance for your support of this fund, and all the stray animals who are treated here send their thanks too!
