Near the end of 2022, after years of planning, we opened our Community Veterinary Hospital, Behavior & Rescue Center, and Animal Crimes Forensic Center. To achieve this largest expansion of space and services in OHS’ history, our community of donors invested generously, showing a commitment to doing more for people and animals in Oregon.
We set out with a bold vision to help more animals stay happy and healthy in loving homes by increase access to critical veterinary services, creating a safe space for animals to heal and learn how to thrive, and establish the resources needed to hold people who abuse or neglect animals accountable.
Together, we built these amazing buildings. Now, it’s the people—the team at OHS and our generous community—who are making the vision a reality.

You Have Our Deepest Gratitude
Together, we built the buildings. But it takes all of us—our passionate staff, dedicated volunteers, and generous donors like you—to sustain our vision every day. Together, we do the work to ensure that the profound joy that exists within the connection between people and animals is felt by creatures of all kinds.
Thank you for supporting Oregon Humane Society.
