Last weekend, Rogue Valley Street Dogs participated in Ashland’s A Street Block Party, hosted by Wellness Pet Supplies and organized by Wild Thyme Productions. A portion of the event’s proceeds was donated to animal nonprofits in Southern Oregon. We’re proud to be a part of this community filled with dedicated leaders, businesses, and volunteers.
Ashland News provided a report of the event on October 8, including this reference from Rogue Valley Street Dog’s leader, Laurie Cuddy:
In the first nine months of 2025, RVSD partnered with other agencies to assist in the costs of 118 urgent vet visits. Laurie Cuddy is the board president of RVSD and co-lead of the Street Dogs Coalition Rogue Valley team. Cuddy said both organizations collaborate together to help pets in need. “We’re hoping that more people can learn about how dire the situation is for so many pets in our community as well as across the country,” Cuddy said.
