Saving lives, with your help 🐶🐱
📍Salem, OR

Oregon Humane Society is the largest animal welfare organization in the Northwest, with campuses in Salem and Portland, including a Community Veterinary Hospital. OHS offers a wide variety of services from pet adoption, training, humane law enforcement, veterinary care, humane education, and disaster response. OHS puts no time limits on how long animals remain at the shelter—a pet stays available

for adoption as long as needed to find a loving home. If a pet in our care needs medical attention, the medical team provides that pet with the same level of care you would want your own pet to receive.

When Stone first arrived, he hid in his kennel, hissed, and swatted at staff. Shortly after, he joined the Behavior Modification Program. Overtime, Stone became brave enough to sniff the training team and eventually leaned in for cheek and chin scratches. ❤️

He would need a calm environment where he could gain confidence from the presence of a resident cat. Now, Stone lives with his adopter and Asta, another OHS alum.

”Stone and Asta have become very good friends. They even hang out together in the same chair, particularly when the air conditioning is on. Stone has begun sprawling on his back, exposing his tummy, which I am taking as a sign that he has really accepted that this is his home and that he can practice vulnerability here,” says Stone’s adopter.

Wilma was transferred from Josephine County Animal Shelter to Oregon Humane Society. It is common for black cats to be overlooked in an animal shelter, and on top of that, Wilma being 12 years old with a chronic condition meant she would likely take longer to find a home. She became a staff favorite and went on stroller rides throughout the campus to provide her with enrichment.

Wilma waited nearly three months to find a loving home, but the wait was worthwhile. Now, she lives with her adopter and her dog brother, Elwood, also known as Wilma’s biggest fan. The stroller rides continue, now the route being a cruise around her new neighborhood.

“Wilma is doing great in her new home and she never stops purring! Her dog brother Elwood loves to groom her and he follows her everywhere. I’m excited to spoil her in her golden years,” says Wilma’s adopter.

Boris, an affectionate stray cat, arrived in desperate need of medical care. His eyes were swollen, with a leaky yellow discharge.

He received corrective surgery for his eyes, dental care, and behavior modification to help him adjust to life as an indoor cat. No longer fending for himself outdoors, this former stray found his loving home.

Thanks to your support, new statewide guidance from House Bill 3604 on caring for stray cats, like Boris, will take effect next month.

What does this mean for Oregon Humane Society? Stray cats will now qualify for adoption after completing a 3-5 day hold—a vast improvement from former guidelines that varied by county.

Love to see shelter dogs get their time in the spotlight!

⛑️ Oregon Humane Society Technical Animal Rescue Team recently responded to a cliff side dog rescue.

Wolfie—a 100-pound German shepherd was 500 feet down a remote canyon near Detroit, Oregon.

Wolfie had been camping with his family when he disappeared. They found him stranded at the canyon’s base and unable to climb out, with a possible hip injury.

On the scene, OHSTAR called Marion County Search and Rescue and Marion County Sheriff's Office for backup. Their President and 12 incredible volunteers arrived within hours and helped turn this mission into a success.

Thanks to this amazing team effort, Wolfie is safe at home, recovering with no long-term injuries. ❤️

Oregon Humane Society welcomed 16 dogs from Texas shelters in coordination with the ASPCA. 🐶

After the devastating Guadalupe River flash flood, shelters in the affected areas have seen a surge in stray dogs and owner surrendered animals in need of care. This transfer allows shelters in Texas to make room to support more animals. ❤️

Our Second Chance program works with as many as 79 different partner agencies to help alleviate capacity for shelters, both locally in Oregon and across the nation throughout the year. When natural disasters strike, we support by transferring existing shelter animals from impacted agencies.

All the dogs are medium and large dogs, who are seeing a decline in adoption interest across the nation. These dogs are likely to wait longer than average before finding a home. 🏠

Your support means all animals at OHS can stay as long as it takes. Donate to help provide care for our new arrivals, including medical care, spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, behavior support, enrichment, and more. 👏
