Do you love animals and want to learn how you can make a difference in their lives? Join us for our All About OHS After-School Club!

In this 4-week program, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the Oregon Humane Society Salem Campus and explore the many ways we help pets and the people who love them. From adoption and behavior training to humane law enforcement and disaster response, you’ll discover how OHS supports pets every day.  During our time together, we’ll also have the chance to meet a few shelter pets while learning more about their care.

If you’re passionate about animals and curious about the vital role shelters play in our community, this club is for you!

This Club takes place at the Salem Campus.
