Oregon Humane

Mission

We transform compassion into action, creating an ecosystem where all of us – animals and humans – feel safe, valued, and part of something bigger.

Bottom Line for Portland

Your donation to Oregon Humane supports our wide range of services that, together, help keep more animals safe, healthy, and happy in their homes. OHS is a community of dedicated staff, volunteers, and supporters like you who are passionate about transforming compassion into action, helping every creature feel safe, valued, and part of something bigger. 

Well-being. Our Community Veterinary Hospital in Portland cares for nearly 40,000 patients annually and provides more than $1M of financial assistance to help keep veterinary care accessible. We also perform low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for more than 13,000 pets owned by low-income families every year. 

Connection. OHS finds homes for nearly 12,000 pets each year with no time limits on how long animals receive love and care before finding their new home. Our Second Chance program brings nearly 7,500 pets annually to OHS from partner shelters around the region, alleviating overcrowding and creating space for more animals at smaller shelters. 

Knowledge. We offer training classes for animals with a range of behavioral needs, free on-line training resources, and our free Behavior Helpline to help keep pets in their homes. OHS educators reach more than 8,000 youth annually through classroom visits and summer camps that teach the next generation how to be empathetic and compassionate. 

Advocacy. In the state capital, OHS is the driving force behind efforts to improve laws that protect animals. OHS Humane Special Agents protect animals across the state, investigating nearly 500 cases every year and providing resources and education for the community. Our Animal Crimes Forensic Center helps ensure that people who abuse or neglect animals are held accountable. 

When you donate to OHS, your gift enables the joy and love that only exists within the deep connection between creatures of all kinds.
