Animal Welfare

Think Wild is a public non-profit wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center located in Bend, Oregon. Our mission is to not only to provide the necessary veterinary care for injured native wildlife, but to ultimately reduce the need for wildlife rehabilitation. Through education, outreach, and conservation services, Think Wild works to ensure sustainable growth for humans and wildlife in Central Oregon for years to come.

At Ember’s our main focus is taking in unwanted bunnies (including special needs), spay/neuter, provide proper bunny care education, then adopt into loving, indoor homes. Being the only bunny rescue in Central Oregon since January 2019, we’ve taken in 123 bunnies, spay/neutered 82; adopted out 79 as of 10/31/20 and rely solely on volunteers and donations. We’re currently building a new bunny barn which allows us to take in almost triple the amount of bunnies surrendered. We have made a huge difference in the lives of bunnies so far and would benefit from any help provided.

Founded in 1974, Oregon Wild works to protect and restore Oregon’s wildlands, wildlife, and waters as an enduring legacy for future generations. Our public lands offer numerous benefits - from providing clean drinking water and critical wildlife habitat to world-class recreation opportunities and Oregon’s best defense against climate change. In fact, six of the nation’s top ten national forests in terms of carbon storage are in Oregon! With a statewide presence and offices in Bend, Eugene, and Portland, Oregon Wild works to hold our government accountable to the public, defends our public lands, and advocates for protecting our iconic landscapes and waters.

BrightSide is a high-save shelter dedicated to providing sheltering, placement and prevention services to reduce animal homelessness and unnecessary euthanasia. We believe that every animal that enters through our back receiving door deserves the chance to leave through our front door with a secure future.

Fences For Fido has unchained over 2000 dogs living outdoors in the Pacific Northwest since 2009. Last year alone, we unchained more than 200 dogs and unchain at least 20 more dogs every month. We ease the pain and suffering of dogs living outside on chains by providing fenced yards so dogs can live in freedom. When we learn about a chained dog, we immediately deliver a custom-built, insulated dog house with warm dog beds inside. Critical vet care and spay/neuter are also core to our mission. We refer to this work as “Love in action!” Join us!
