ANIMALS IN OUR REGION NEED YOUR SUPPORT

In Pepito, shelter owner Angie observes "Love is not all a dog needs. Love is not always enough."

Oregon Humane Society is a pivotal organization that provides expert care and recovery, connects animals with new homes, and advocates for policies and legislation to promote the humane treatment of animals across the state. As a local non-profit,  they have been serving this community for more than 155 years. OHS is not affiliated with any national organization or government-funded municipal shelter and relies on donations to sustain their life-saving work.
​
A portion of ticket sales are being donated to Oregon Humane society to support urgent needs for the shelter, but you can help widen the impact of today's event! 

Visit their 
wishlist to see what their current needs are, and consider an additional donation to help support the humane treatment of animals in our region.
