It’s no secret that we love the Oregon Humane Society and donate a portion of our book sales to this wonderful organization.

In the story below, Lisa tells writes about Oregon Humane Society’s technical animal rescue team, which rescues dogs who have fallen off steep cliffs in Oregon. The team members risk their loves during these dog rescues. Lisa also tells about the organization’s many other good deeds.

The story begins:
Ranger, an 80-pound Great Dane–Mastiff mix, fell more than 200 feet from a cliff after wandering away from his owner during a hike in Oregon’s Santiam State Forest. A two-year-old Husky-Shepherd mix named Kenny dropped off a 150-foot cliff in the state’s Columbia River Gorge. And Gracie the Goldendoodle tumbled off a 200-foot cliff in the same area.

All three dogs survived, thanks to the Oregon Humane Society’s technical animal rescue team, whose members often risk their lives performing high-angle cliff rescues, many times in darkness.

The 18-member volunteer team — made up of 14 women and four men, including a firefighter, a police officer, a realtor, home builders, and veterinary technicians — completes up to seven high-angle rescues a year and trains year-round for these emergencies, says Ulli Neitch, a team member and spokesperson.
OHS’s rescue team is just one of the reasons I’m committed to supporting OHS and participating in its fundraisers.

My six-year-old, Michael, and I donate a portion of the sales of our books to the organization. In addition, we recently filmed ourselves eating dog biscuits for the its Biscuit Challenge, during which OHS supporters eat dog biscuits on camera and nominate friends to do the same or to make a donation.

For the fundraiser, TV personalities, well-known business owners, local entertainers, and other pet lovers joined in the fun.
