Valentine's Day
What better way to say “I Love You” on Valentine’s Day then to adopt a pet who has been looking for love longer than all the other pets at the Oregon Humane Society shelter?
The Great 8 and 9 Lives represent the eight dogs and nine cats who have been at the shelter the longest. This Valentine’s Weekend (Feb. 12th through Feb. 14th) the adoption fee for any of these 17 pets is only $35.
Because OHS never puts a time limit on how long animals remain available for adoption, some animals stay at the shelter for many months awaiting the right match. “Often it’s because the animal is shy and needs a little extra time to make a good impression,” said Autumn White, OHS Animal Care Manager “And some animals may need to be the only pet in the household or require a special diet. But that’s no reason to overlook a dog, cat or bunny who may be your new best friend.”

Why Adopt Two Cats?
Cats make wonderful pets. And studies have found that adopting two cats has many benefits:
- Cats who have a playmate tend to be more socially well-adjusted and avoid behavior problems like shyness, biting, hissing, being frightened and hiding in the company of people they don't know.
- If you must work long hours or travel for a couple of days, two or more cats keep each other company and are more tranquil during your absence.
- Your cat will remain more playful and youthful into his/her later years with a companion.
- The workload to care for two cats is about the same as it is for one cat.
Senior Discount
OHS offers senior citizens a significant discount on all pet adoptions. Thanks to the Pets for the Elderly Foundation, seniors 60 years of age and older receive a $50 discount on any cat adopted from OHS and any dog three years old or older. In some cases, this means you could adopt a cat for free, or adopt a dog for as little as $5. Ask about the senior citizen discount when you visit the shelter.
