Our Mission
OUR MISSION
To build a powerful animal welfare voting bloc that makes the protection and humane treatment of animals a priority not only in local government but in the entire state of Oregon and beyond.
We bring together voters who believe animal welfare is a public responsibility—and who will use their votes to elect leaders who demand compassion, competence, accountability, transparency, and measurable results.
We will educate voters, hold elected officials accountable, and make animal welfare a decisive issue at the ballot box.
Our votes are our voice. Our voting bloc is our power.
About Us
We are two Portland small business owners who have advocated for homeless animals since 2008, when we began tracking the thousands of animal deaths at Multnomah County Animal Services (MCAS). Despite a 2008 task force convened to address widespread public concern, promised reforms never materialized.
For more than eighteen years we have studied MCAS operations, met with officials, researched successful shelter models, testified before the Commission and fought for change—yet County leaders have repeatedly chosen inaction. As a result, MCAS is now in a state of collapse. Our campaign is dedicated to Fig & Petunia, two bonded dogs, surrendered by their elderly owner, only to die at the hands of cruel, callous Multnomah County bureaucrats. Read their story in the “stories” section above.
We will never give up fighting for the total transformation of MCAS and being a voice for the animals whose lives depend upon it.
