Oregon Humane Society offers free pet food to federal workers and contractors affected by government
In an effort to support pet-owners affected by the government shutdown, the Oregon Humane Society is offering free pet food for federal employees and contractors on Thursday, Jan 10.
One bag of dog food and one bag of cat food plus cat litter are available for pet-owners who have been affected by the shutdown.
