Oregon Humane Society

The mission of the Oregon Humane Society is to foster an environment of respect, resonsibility, and compassion for all animals through education, legislation, and leadership; to care for the homeless, defend the abused, and fight with unrelenting diligence for recognition of the integrity of all animals.

Over the past 150+ years, we’ve been busy! We operate two campuses—Portland and Salem—through which we provide a broad range of programs serving Oregon and beyond. While we’re known for creating joy for families through adoption, our programs and services also include veterinary care, education, humane law enforcement, and legislation.

Each of our two campuses provide top-notch care for our shelter animals, including veterinary care such as vaccinations and spay/neuter, as well as any other necessary treatments. Our Portland campus is also home to our Community Veterinary Hospital, Behavior & Rescue Center, and Animals Crimes Forensic Center.

Sniff around our website (https://www.oregonhumane.org/) to learn more about all of the ways we make life brighter for pets and people. Or, come by one of our campuses to say hello to our animals and learn more about our work. We’d love to meet you!
