The Petfinder Foundation's gift provides homes, healing and hope to thousands of pets! Whether these animals were surrendered by owners who could no longer keep them, rescued from abuse and neglect by our Humane Investigators, or brought to us from overcrowded shelters throughout the region, we work tirelessly to offer them a second chance at the loving, forever home they deserve.
Because the Oregon Humane Society receives no tax dollars or government money, it’s the generosity and compassion of people like you that allows us to continue our lifesaving work. With your continued support, we'll be here making a difference, one animal at a time, for many more years to come.

Please provide a story of one or more specific pets this grant helped.
Cricket, a 3-year-old corgi/terrier mix, came to the Oregon Humane Society from another shelter. Unfortunately, the other shelter cannot keep pets for very long if they are not adopted. Thanks to generous donors like you, we are able to bring pets like Cricket to our shelter, where hundreds of people visit each day looking for their furry new family member. Once Cricket got here, it didn’t take long for this cute, active dog to find her forever home!
