the pongo fund
When we think of the plight of the homeless, many first think of the men and women we see drifting around our cities or camping beneath our bridges. Today, we also think of the many children who have joined their ranks. What we seldom think of are the pets who live with these people. And that’s why The Pongo Fund exists... to help make sure that the pets of the homeless and less fortunate are not forgotten. Learn More »
the pet food bank
Food banks ease the hunger of those in need.
The people of Portland, and of Oregon, understand this and actively support and utilize the food banks in our communities. Portlanders also love their pets, both their own and the pets of others. It is this convergence of need and affection that is the root of Portland’s first food bank for pets. Learn More »

our mission
We are Oregon’s Emergency Pet Food Bank. We work for the day when no dog or cat goes hungry simply because their families cannot afford to keep them fed. By providing emergency pet food relief to those in honest need, we succeed in reducing shelter populations and keeping people and their pets together.
sponsors
The Pongo Fund is generously supported by Canidae All Natural Pet Foods and Dogswell.
