PORTLAND — A group is collecting new or used dog coats that will be given to the homeless in Portland for their pets.
The coat drive is organized by the Portland Animal Welfare Team.
KGW reports veterinarians are also donating time for free animal clinics, starting Sunday.
Organizers say short-haired dogs, such as Chihuahuas and pit bulls, need protection from Portland’s chilly rain.
