Oregon Humane Society
For 141 years OHS has been sheltering abandoned animals, fighting cruelty and neglect, and working to build a caring, compassionate community.
Although we have thousands of members and 1,200 volunteers, we are really nothing more than a single person saying 'Yes, I want to help.' On our Website you'll learn how to adopt a pet, report animal cruelty, lend a helping hand to animals, and much more.
Because OHS receives no tax dollars, our work is made possible only by the generosity of people like yourself. Learn how you can help.
The links on the left are the main website for OHS and various social media and related sites. If you have suggestions on sites to add, please leave a comment. Better yet, create a Bag that relates to OHS and I'll link to it!

Oregon Humane Society
For 141 years OHS has been sheltering abandoned animals, fighting cruelty and neglect, and working to build a caring, compassionate community.
Although we have thousands of members and 1,200 volunteers, we are really nothing more than a single person saying 'Yes, I want to help.' On our Website you'll learn how to adopt a pet, report animal cruelty, lend a helping hand to animals, and much more.
Because OHS receives no tax dollars, our work is made possible only by the generosity of people like yourself. Learn how you can help.
The links on the left are the main website for OHS and various social media and related sites. If you have suggestions on sites to add, please leave a comment. Better yet, create a Bag that relates to OHS and I'll link to it!
