Come See the Puppies in the Window

Americana Frame shop is again helping shelter dogs find their forever homes. October is National Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog month, and each October, Baer Charlton, owner of Americana Frame, displays pictures of dogs at Oregon Humane Society (OHS) currently available for adoption. When asked why he devotes his shop’s window space, Baer said, “It’s a natural tie-in since my wife and I have a real passion for helping animals. And this is something I can do for homeless dogs in our local community.” Baer prints and frames each dog’s photograph and displays them for the entire month of October.

In past years, neighbors and shop clients have adopted dogs in part because of those framed pictures. In fact, many have bought the framed photograph from the window display as a permanent treasure of their new family member.

OHS adopts over 11,000 pets each year, and there is always a need to find good homes for them. So please stop by Americana Frame, 4223 NE Fremont St., to view the framed dog pictures and adopt a shelter dog if you can. Or at least help spread their stories to create more happy endings.
