OHS is the largest humane society in the Northwest, adopting more animals from our Portland shelter than any other single-facility shelter on the West Coast. OHS puts no time limits on how long animals remain at the shelter. If a pet in our care needs medical attention, our veterinary hospital provides the pet with same level of care you would want your own pet to receive.
