Elby

Elby's looking for a new family and he is so ready. He's a medium sized pittie mix, about 50 pounds. He's about 5 years old, he's smart as a whip and just loves (and wants to kiss) everybody. He has no experience with small children and cats so that would be new territory. He's a boy who's eager to please, and he's motivated by treats and praise (who isn't, right?). He neutered and our FFF volunteers have given him several baths and walks and play times, and he's such a good boy. Foster, foster to adopt, or just plain adopt, all are options.

Please email FidosInNeed@fencesforfido.org with Elby in the subject line. 

Fences For Fido is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon building free, donor-funded fences for dogs living outdoors on chains, tethers or in small outdoor pens.  Our volunteers work in a large area of northwest Oregon, central Oregon, and southwest Washington. We do not build outside those regions. If you live outside our service area, you are welcome to email us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Fences For Fido - Unchained, One Dog At a Time

Thank you so much for trusting Fences For Fido into your homes & lives! This simple act of reaching out to us—asking for a helping hand— truly underscores the love and compassion you have for your canine companions. We hope you know that because of your willingness to make the life of your chained dog a little better, it is a sincere honor to offer a gift that gives back to us just as much as it gives to your entire family.

We truly wish we could help everyone in our community, but since we rely on donations and grants, and all of our fence builders are volunteers, we must use those resources in the most responsible way possible, helping those dogs and families who need it the most. Because of this, we cannot base our approvals on income, disability status, veteran status, or any factors other than the living condition of the dog(s) and how those conditions align with our very specific mission. It truly breaks our hearts to make such difficult decisions, but we recognize that we must be realistic about what we can accomplish in our community.

Because Fences For Fido receives many applications every week (we often have a month-long waiting list), we must prioritize those chained or penned dogs in the most dire of circumstances. That said, we promise to review your application as soon as possible. If you do not hear from us within 30 days, please send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Thank you for your desire to do better for your four-legged family members. We sincerely look forward to working together—giving you true peace of mind in knowing that your dog has the freedom and security he/she desperately deserves and desires.

Fences For Fido - Unchained, One Dog At a Time

¡Muchas gracias por confiar en Fences For Fido en sus hogares y vidas! Este simple acto de contactar con nosotros solicitando una mano amiga demuestra el amor y la compasión que tienen por sus compañeros caninos. Deseamos que sepan que debido a su disposición a mejorar la vida de su perro, es para nosotros un sincero honor ofrecerle este regalo que nos retorna tanta felicidad como la que damos a toda su familia.

Deseamos de corazón poder ayudar a todos en nuestra comunidad, pero ya que trabajamos gracias a sus donaciones y subvenciones, y que todos nuestros constructores de vallas son voluntarios, debemos utilizar esos recursos de la manera más responsable posible ayudando a aquellos perros y familias que más lo necesitan. Por ello, no podemos basar nuestras aprobaciones en ingresos, condición de discapacidad, estatus de veterano, o cualquier factor que no sea la condición de vida del perro(s) y cómo esas condiciones se ajustan a nuestra misión.   Nos entristece tomar decisiones tan difíciles pero hemos de ser realistas sobre todo aquello que podemos desarrollar en nuestra comunidad.

Ya que Fences For Fido recibe muchas solicitudes cada semana (a menudo tenemos una lista de espera de hasta un mes), debemos priorizar a los perros encadenados o encerrados en las circunstancias más terribles, aunque dicho esto, nos comprometemos a revisar su solicitud tan pronto como sea posible. Si no recibe contestación por nuestra parte en treinta días, le rogamos nos envíe un correo electrónico a This email address is being protected from spambots.

Gracias por su deseo de mejorar la vida de los miembros de su familia “de cuatro patas”. Esperamos sinceramente trabajar juntos garantizándoles que sus perros tendrán la libertad y la seguridad que angustiosamente merecen y desean.

Mi más sincero agradecimiento,

Patti Loverink, President
