Our Angels — Honoring Pets from the Outwoof Bound Community
Our Angels is a tribute page for beloved pets from the Outwoof Bound community. Every dog and cat who spent time at 5404 SE 72nd Ave has a place here.
Losing a pet is hard. We carry each angel in our hearts. This page honors the reactive dogs who found their calm here. The anxious dogs who grew braver. The cats who trusted us with their care. All of them.
Why Our Angels Matters to Outwoof Bound
Every pet who walks through our doors becomes part of the Outwoof Bound family. Reactive dogs. Anxious dogs. Bite-history dogs. Rescue dogs. Cats who found quiet corners in our cat room. Every one of them matters.
When a pet passes on, the Outwoof Bound community feels it. Staff grieve. Families grieve. We created Our Angels as a space for that grief to live — and for those pets to be remembered.

Resources for Pet Loss in Portland
If you’re grieving a pet, you don’t have to do it alone. Portland has several resources:
- Dove Lewis Pet Loss Support Group. Free peer-led groups meeting in NW Portland.
- Argus Institute grief counseling. Phone-based support for Oregon pet families.
- Your regular veterinarian. Most Portland vets can refer you to grief support resources.
- A trusted friend or family member. The people who knew your pet often understand best.
If you’re struggling with a pet’s passing, please reach out. Grief is harder in isolation.
How the Outwoof Bound Team Handles Pet Loss
The Outwoof Bound team grieves pets too. When we learn that a regular daycare dog or boarding cat has passed, we note it. We acknowledge it with the family. We think about that pet during quiet moments in the facility.
If your pet was enrolled at Outwoof Bound and has passed, please let us know. We’d rather know than wonder when your dog stops coming to daycare. A short email to jessica.mandell8@gmail.com is enough.

What Dog Anxiety Really Looks Like — and How Outwoof Bound Helps
Dog anxiety shows up in more Portland dogs than owners realize. The signs aren’t always dramatic, — sometimes it’s a dog who freezes at every doorbell, a dog who refuses food when left alone, a dog who reacts defensively to other dogs despite being well-socialized as a puppy. Understanding what anxiety actually looks like is the first step toward finding care that addresses it, rather than avoiding it.
Dogs who destructively chew, pace, bark excessively, or eliminate indoors only when their owner leaves. Portland has higher rates due to remote-work shifts creating sudden alone-time for dogs used to constant company.
Fireworks (a Portland 4th of July reality), thunderstorms, construction sounds, or household noises that trigger trembling. Hiding, panting, or escape attempts. These behaviors often worsen over time without planned exposure work.
Lunging, barking, or spinning at the sight of other dogs, strangers, bikes, or cars during walks. The dog isn’t “bad” — they’re overwhelmed and can’t self-regulate without support.
Under-socialized puppies, rescue dogs with unknown histories, or dogs who’ve had negative visits in group settings. Open-play daycare often makes this worse, not better.
We welcome anxious and reactive dogs without requiring expensive prerequisite training sessions. Outwoof Bound operates differently:
- Behavior & Socialization Day Program at the $90/day rate (Basecamp Daycare is $55) — no anxiety surcharge, no prerequisite sessions. Reactive, anxious, and bite-history dogs accepted as they are.
- Free Meet & Greet before any commitment — you and your dog meet the space, meet the trainer, get an honest fit assessment. Book online.
- One-time $55 Assessment Day — a certified trainer spends four hours with your dog to build their individual behavior profile. This replaces the “sink or swim” evaluation many daycare operators use.
- Written daily progress reports after every visit — you see what your dog practiced, what worked, and where they’re growing. Transparency is the default.
- Trainer’s Lodge in-home boarding ($145/night) for dogs whose anxiety makes kennel boarding untenable. Your dog stays in a certified trainer’s home — no kennel, no background noise, no other boarders.
