Adoptions are happening!

October 20, 2020

Adopting a cat or dog now is a perfect time to bring a new pet into your home. So many dogs and cats need homes since the Shelter had to evacuate due to the recent fires, and adoptions were paused for some time. Now we have plenty of loving animals waiting for homes. 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.
