OHS celebrates heroic pets and people during virtual happy hour celebration
On Feb. 24, four heroic pets and people in our community received the 2021 Diamond Collar Award. Recipients were recognized for their compassion, tenacity, kindness and vision. Their inspiring stories represent the Oregon Humane Society’s mission of creating a more humane society.
“I am always so inspired by the Diamond Collar Award honorees,” says Sharon Harmon, OHS President and CEO. “Each of the recipients reminds us of the compassion and kindness in our community.”
Oregon Humane Society is the Northwest’s oldest and largest animal shelter, and relies entirely on heroes like you to fund its adoption, education and rescue programs. You can be a hero to animals in need by making a donation today.
