Bailey’s Biscuits Given Out At Local Fundraiser


On Sunday the Bunches & Bunches crew and dogs – Bailey, Daisy, & Jack – participated in the Run For The Love Of Dove 5k here in Portland. Early on a bright beautiful day we joined 700 + runners and some 200 dogs for a run/walk through NW Portland for this fun event that raised $33,000 for the Dove Lewis Stray Animal & Wildlife Program. We would do it again! Any race that involves the dogs and any event as wonderfully coordinated as this one! It all ended with a party outside Lucky Lab Brewery where Bailey’s Biscuits were prizes for fastest runners, runners who looked most like their dogs, and the oldest dogs participating. Maybe we will see you there next year!

And there’s more to love about the Bunches & Bunches connection to this event. See Pai’s letter to Dove Lewis about how they saved Bailey of Bailey’s Biscuits…

It was my good fortune to have been introduced to Dove Lewis in a very personal way. Just weeks after moving to Portland my first big dog love Bailey had to have his spleen removed. Our neighborhood vet suggested that Dove Lewis perform the surgery and off we went at 5:30 am to place our Bailey in their capable hands. We shared the waiting room with a pet rat, a sniffling guinea pig, a cat or two, a pocket sized dog and a big silly curly haired water dog. The care and patience the receptionist took with each entourage was a marvel to witness at 6 am and the doc that treated Bailey was amazing.

Thank you to all the staff and the state of the art facility at Dove Lewis for the special treatment they gave Bailey and all the other dog loves and pets that they treat so brilliantly. Bailey is still going strong and is the honorable mascot of our pack of big motley yellows.
We at Bunches & Bunches are excited to be participating in this valuable and fun fundraising event – Run For The Love Of Dove. Thanks & love Dove Lewis and all,
