History and Mission

Established in 2006, Portland Pet Food’s Animal Rescue (PPFAR) is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of abandoned and neglected animals in the Portland metropolitan area. PPFAR’s mission is to provide a safe and loving sanctuary for these vulnerable animals, while actively promoting their adoption into permanent, responsible homes.

• Animal intake and evaluation
• Medical care and vaccinations

Impact and Success

Since its inception, PPFAR has successfully rescued and placed thousands of animals in loving homes. In 2021 alone, PPFAR rescued over 1,500 animals, with a 98% adoption rate.
