We Did It! Animals Lovers Set New Giving Record for OHS Telethon
Thousands of television viewers tuned into the Oregon Humane Society's Eighth Annual Telethon for the Animals, sponsored by Subaru, and set an all-time record for supporting animals in need.
Televised live on KATU Channel 2, the four-hour telethon succeeded in two of its most close to the heart endeavors: finding homes for 93 dogs, cats, rabbits, and rodents over the weekend and raising over $275,000 to help homeless and unwanted pets.
"The telethon is a reflection of the compassion that our society has for animals and a measure of how valuable the services of OHS are to our community," states Sharon Harmon, Executive Director of the Oregon Humane Society. “Every dollar donated stays right here in this community helping the animals in your neighborhood.”
