Give With Your Heart on #GivingTuesday

Support from animal lovers like you allows Oregon Humane Society to help animals with medical needs, like Biscuit. Shortly after this young and exuberant pup was surrendered to OHS, staff noticed that he was limping. A medical exam confirmed that Biscuit needed surgery on a ligament in his knee.
