Who We Are
For more than 150 years, animal welfare has been the heart and soul of Oregon Humane Society.
With campuses in Portland and Salem, OHS rescues, heals, and adopts more than 11,000 pets each year. We never place a time limit on how long cats, dogs, and other pets stay at our shelter.
OHS relies on donations to support our adoption, education, medical, and humane law enforcement programs.
