Adoptions are still happening!

July 4, 2020
Updates

Adopting a cat or dog during the COVID-19 physical distancing protocols is a perfect time to bring a new pet into your home. You have the time to bond with your new furever friend and they can help you reduce stress. Adopting now so also makes room at the shelter for incoming strays that need a place to stay.

Normal adoption procedures remain in place to help ensure the animals are being adopted into appropriate homes for individual needs. View available animals online using the link below. Then contact the Shelter at 541-774-6654 for an appointment. Physical distancing procedures will be followed while at the Shelter.
