Pawsitively Saved Rescue Faces Year-End Lease Termination, Seeks New Location and Funding
Pawsitively Saved Rescue, a nonprofit animal rescue in Newberg, Oregon, is facing an urgent need to relocate by the end of 2026. The organization's landlord has issued a notice terminating their lease at 2771 E. 9th St., Suite D. As a result, the rescue has temporarily paused taking in new dogs and has reduced its current animal population from 40 to five. According to volunteer and board secretary Roann Delgreco, the primary issue stems from a large, 20-year-old hangar-style door at the facility that requires significant repairs or replacement, estimated to cost at least $60,000. The landlord reportedly refused to replace the door and insisted the rescue assume responsibility for it, which the nonprofit deemed financially unfeasible given its mission to allocate funds to animal care. The rescue is currently working with an attorney to request an extension but is proceeding as if the request will be denied, actively searching for both temporary and long-term solutions.
