This is really cool

Hey friends, do we know any cat groomers in the Portland area who might be willing to help us out with a request?

We caught a sweet moment between Clint and his puppy, Odin, as they waited for lunch at Blanchet House. Clint shared this with us, “There’s nothing like Blanchet House in all of the country. What you do here is special. Thank you.”

Big love to everyone stepping up in all the ways right now. We got those pups into a good home because of our community. Thank you.

We love a happy pup!

This lucky pup had been rescued by couple of our unhoused neighbors - they found him tied to a wagon, cold & abandoned. He got some kibble thanks to @petblocpdx.bsky.social We rely on donations to feed people & their pups Venmo- pdxfeedthestreets Cashapp- FTSPortland #MutualAid #PDX #MutualAidPdx

These two pups picked up new winter coats and supplies today at Blanchet House’s monthly supply and vet advice clinic. Vets Dr. Mack and Dr. Crabbe host the clinic each in our garage. Pets are important to our guests, and we want to make sure everyone can give their beloved animal what they need.

Mutual aid for people & the pets they love! Huge thanks @petblocpdx for donating 15 gallons of kibble to distro dinner to doggos! Follow them to learn more and/or donate We rely on donations to feed people (& their pets) Venmo- pdxfeedthestreets Cashapp- FTSPortland #MutualAid #PDX #MutualAidPDX

#OtD 2 Jan 2020 a fake protest was held in Antofagasta, Chile, to lead injured street dog, El Vaquita, to a vet. He wouldn't let himself be taken, but as he joined marches, he joined the "protest", which led him to get treatment. Protest dog items here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

My house has a new familiar. If you are near 39th and Holgate in Portland and missing a delightful black kitty, this guy or gal seems to clearly come from a home and is also desperate for food and shelter

#OtD 14 Dec 2008 journalist @muntazer_zaidi threw his shoes at President George W Bush in protest at the US occupation of Iraq, shouting "This is from the widows, the orphans, and those who were killed in Iraq." He resumed activism after 6 months jail stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8557...

HUGE thank you to the Oregon Humane Society for keeping us going!

At Blanchet House, we offer food to humans and their pets. For so many of our guests, their pets are family. Even in the hardest times, people experiencing homelessness care deeply for their animals, often putting their needs before their own. Thank you for making these tender moments possible.

THANK YOU to everyone reposting, sharing, and stepping up to help with those puppies! We've found a foster situation for them currently but anticipate more displaced friends in the future. #allpowertothepups

NightOwl is a force multiplier!

We will be hanging out at this event this weekend! We'll be accepting donations, solidarity, and will be giving out belly rubs of course. FOR YOUR PETS ONLY, YA WEIRDOS. See ya there 🖤 #allpowertothepaws

Seattle and Portland area folks: These two sweeties need a new foster home by December 12th. One boy, one girl, both fixed. They’ll come with food, toys, and litter (also a cat playpen if you want it). Would really appreciate any shares to cast a wider net.

#OtD 16 Nov 2019 Chilean riot dog Rucio Capucha was injured by police water cannon during a protest in Santiago. Rucio frequently joined protests, and became a target of deliberate police violence. He survived the attack, and was adopted by a family shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

We will be tabling this event tonight!

Hey friends, we are running dangerously low on food for our furry friends! We always take opened and unexpired donations as well. All power to the paws!

📣 PLEASE SHARE! 📣 Portland, Oregon updated list of local food pantries, shelters, and mutual aid during this government shutdown. Even if you don’t need these resources, someone in your community will! #PDX bit.ly/FoodPDX2025

Hey. So now that SNAP is being cut and people will be struggling further to feed their families, I wanted to share a really good resource for finding food pantries in your area you can utilize or support depending on your situation. Go to www.gethelp.org and then go to “food” & type in your zip!

With so many people losing their SNAP benefits next month, please consider stocking your neighborhood free fridge. Better yet, host one yourself! sites.google.com/view/pdx-fre...

It’s fucking Caturday #cat #cats #caturday #catsky #catsofbluesky #catsofportland #pdxcats #pnwondercats #allcatsarebeautiful

We printed up a small run of these! Sizes run from Small-XXL, are only $10, and all proceeds go directly into PetBloc! Deliveries are limited to the Portland area for now, but please DM if you'd like one!

We have a misting tent up and cold water at the exit door. Stop by Blanchet House for a good meal and a break from the heat. We will also refill water bottles. Unfortunately, our ice machine broke so we are waiting for a repair person.

Hey Portland! It’s going to be heckin’ hot these next couple of days. Please consider leaving out a bowl of water in a shady area for our furry outdoor neighbors to enjoy. It could be a real difference maker for the raccoons, squirrels, cats, etc. that you love to see passing through your yard!

Hey friends, we are dangerously low on wet cat and dog food! Let us know if you can help with donations 🖤

Come say howdy!

"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience."

Pups to the front!

No hell hot enough.
