Resources

Many of the below links are home-related, but as I am always looking out for Portland’s homeless pets, you will find pet-related information at the bottom as well.

Mortgage Assistance Resources

  • Dustin Johnsen (NMLS #1017340) is with OnPoint Credit Union. They offer some terrific zero-down programs for first time home buyers as well as people working in the education field.
  • Leslie Catabay (NMLS# 1885490) is with Guild Mortgage. Guild is a well known lender in the area that we have worked with multiple times. Leslie is licensed in Oregon and Washington.
  • Sherry Vance (MLO-121924) is with Pacific Residential Mortgage. I met her during a finance class, and we hit it off immediately. She is creative and hard-working for all of her clients. She is also an active volunteer in the metro community.

Calculators

Home Contractors

  • Colorworks Northeast – a family owned painting business (exteriors and interiors) with an eye for the details
  • Liberty Plumbing – because everyone should have a plumber on speed dial. Or is that just those of us who live in old homes?
  • Columbia Heating & Cooling – Too hot?  Too cold?  Need a gas line run for an outdoor bbq or new fireplace insert?
  • Anderson Heating & Cooling – These guys installed a new HVAC and central air in my own home, and they have responded very quickly to my clients’ calls.
  • Portland Chimney & Masonry – chimney cleaning, repair, and masonry
  • Cascade Radon – radon testing and mitigation in the Portland metro area
  • Rock Solid Waterproofing – basement waterproofing services and solutions to other water entry/damage problems

Service Providers

  • Columbia Pest Control – Pests are a reality of urban living.  Columbia Pest Control can help you forget that.
  • Massage – Alicia Watkins, LMT is my go-to therapist for deep-tissue, therapeutic massage here in Portland.
  • Nurture Life Coaching – Savannah Mayfield is wonderfully insightful.  She partners with women in their personal growth, professional success and intentional living.
  • Caring.com – Senior Living Resources – We have had the opportunity to explore senior assisted living recently. Caring.com is a leading senior care resource for family caregivers seeking information and support as they care for aging parents, spouses, and other loved ones

School Research

  • School Ratings – from The Oregonian
  • Best high schools in Oregon from U.S. News & World Report
  • Great Schools is a non-profit organization that shares reviews and profiles of over 200,000 public and private schools (pre-K through 12) throughout the country. Reviewers include parents, teachers, and students.

Danni’s Favorite Bungalow Resources (Local When Possible)

Local Pet-Related Resources

  • Emergency Veterinary Care
    • VCA Northwest Veterinary Specialists – 24-hour hospital in Clackamas, OR; worth the drive!
    • Emergency Veterinary Clinic of Tualatin – 24-hour hospital in Tualatin, OR; if you have a bird, this is an excellent clinic to choose.
    • Dove Lewis – 24-hour hospital located in Portland, OR;
      • they can also take injured wildlife after hours (the animal will be transferred to the Audubon Wildlife Care Center in the morning);
      • they also take in injured stray animals (the animal will be stabilized and then transferred to Multnomah County Animal Services, the county’s shelter where strays can be reunited with their owners, or adopted out to the public if not claimed).
    • Audubon Wildlife Care Center – phones are staffed 9-5 seven days a week by volunteers; this is where you can bring in injured or sick wildlife.  I volunteered in the hospital here for 8 years and can attest that they do great work.
  • Animal Rescue and Shelter Resources
    • Multnomah County Animal Services – This is the county’s shelter for lost, stray, injured, and homeless pets.  It is the county’s only “open” shelter, which means they are required by law to take everything that walks in the front door.  They do an amazing job, and we have adopted two fabulous dogs from them.
    • Family Dogs New Life – a private shelter located in Milwaukie, Oregon, they take in many dogs from Multnomah County Animal Services, so they have a special place in my heart.  They do things a little differently here, so definitely check out their website!
    • Oregon Dog Rescue – a private shelter located in Tualatin, Oregon and open seven days a week.
    • Animal Rescue & Care Fund – A private group that utilizes foster homes to care for homeless cats prior to finding them permanent adoptive homes.
