Oregon Humane Society in Portland, OR

Oregon Humane Society is an independent, donor-funded humane society located in Portland, Oregon, with more than 150 years of history bringing people and pets together. It offers adoption, veterinary care, humane education, training, and humane law enforcement services across its Portland and Salem campuses, finding adoptive homes for dogs, cats, small animals, and horses and farm animals, and it receives no government funding. Based in Multnomah County, Oregon Humane Society is one of 23 animal shelters and rescues serving the county, and it sits roughly 4 miles north of Vancouver, Washington. Its Community Veterinary Hospital in Portland provides urgent care, preventative care, spay/neuter, dentistry, and surgery on a walk-in and appointment basis, reflecting its "here for pets, not for profit" approach.
