Visitors of all ages are invited to an educational presentation and tour of OHS's facility and historical grounds. Tours will accommodate each group's needs from scouts, to schools, to seniors. Tours of the OHS shelter include visiting the cattery, dog kennel pods, and small animal room to see the rabbits, rodents and sometimes birds. Outside, weather permitting, visitors will learn some of OHS's 100+ year history, stop by the beautiful Memorial Rose Garden and memorial area, and see the oldest animal cemetery west of the Mississippi River. Tours include Bobbie of Silverton's story, his grave site and special dog house along with the Amie Woods' memorial.

 

Please plan two hours for the tour.

 

Schedule a tour or field trip by call (503) 416-2986 or 416-5034 or e-mail eduast@oregonhumane.org.
