Roseburg, OR — February 18 2026 —

A Douglas County H.O.P.E. Drug Court graduate phase participant is giving back to the community through Roxy’s Paws of Hope, a community project benefiting Saving Grace Humane Society.

Roxy’s Paws of Hope is focused on collecting cans of wet dog and cat food and regular pet food to help restock Saving Grace’s mobile pet food bank, which serves local families by parking at Stewart Park twice each month and participating in the First Thursday community events.  Zach Smith, Drug Court graduate phase participant, recently held a food event and will now be present at the Douglas County Co-Op on Sunday, February 22, 2026 from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. seeking food or monetary donations.

In addition to physical donations, Saving Grace Humane Society has added an online donation page through their website to allow community members to contribute financially to support the project.

Roxy’s Paws of Hope is being completed as part of a graduate community project, one of the highlights of the Douglas County H.O.P.E. Drug Court program. Graduate community projects allow participants in the final phase of the program to demonstrate personal growth, social development, and internal motivation through meaningful service. Poster boards highlighting each graduate’s community project will be displayed in the lobby prior to the graduation ceremony.  Graduate flyers and additional information about the H.O.P.E. Drug Court program are available through the Douglas County website via the Local Public Safety Coordinating Council (LPSCC) at: https://douglascountyor.gov/851/HOPE-Drug-Court
