😿 "Kitten season THIS. Kitten season THAT. When will it ever be 'Domo season'???"

Well in our eyes, it's Domo season all-year-round because this girl demands nothing less. Here are Domo's must-haves in the home:

👉 Lots of cat enrichment (toys, scratching posts, perches, snuffle mats, etc.) to keep her brain sharp
👉 A cat-savvy family who understands feline body language
👉 No other pets

She's been thriving in her foster home, but she's looking for someone to make it . Are you looking for a furry feline family member to bring lots of joy and sass into your life? bit.ly/DomoTheCat

🤩 Bowser's got his eyes on the prize: a loving home and family! This people-friendly boy has a lot going for him.

✅ Puppy dog eyes
✅ Perpetual smile
✅ Soft floof baby

Bowser's two favorite activities are playing fetch with a ball and getting snuggles from his favorite people. He's been practicing leash manners and other basic training cues and we'd love for him to go to a home that will reinforce the skills he's learned at Oregon Humane Society Salem Campus.

Meet your new best friend today! bit.ly/BowserTheDog

After receiving lifesaving care at DoveLewis, OHS' Humane Law Enforcement team transported the kitten to our shelter and placed him in a foster home while his case moves through the legal process, allowing the kitten time to recover.

Last week, you helped us raise over $200,000 so that OHS can continue to be there for pets needing rescue, veterinary care, fostering - and so much more. Donor support makes everything we do possible!

Happy from our sweet by shy gal, Sassy.

She was brought to Oregon Humane Society Salem Campus when her former family was unable to keep her in their home.

In her first few days at the shelter, Sassy was very shut down, hiding under blankets from our staff and volunteers. Right away, we could see she would be more likely to thrive in a foster home, where she wouldn't be exposed to the strange sounds and smells of the busy shelter and could decompress in her own time.

Since going into her foster home, Sassy has begun to blossom! Her foster reports, "She's so affectionate and playful, and she really loves her people time!”

Do you have space in your home and heart for this lovely girl? bit.ly/SassyInFoster

Chuck Hawley and Sticky the Kitty were OHS' 2019 winners, after inspiring the world through their story of kindness and resiliency.

When he spotted a small kitten on a busy road, Chuck did the humane thing. He stopped and intervened. After attempting to pick the kitten up, he realized that its paws had actually been glued to the pavement.

Chuck persisted and got Sticky the care he needed. Now, a member of the family, the two visit classrooms to tell their story and inspire compassion.

If you know a humane hero (person, organization, or pet!) we'd love to honor them with a Diamond Collar Award this year! Submit your hero by Friday, Jan. 5: www.oregonhumane.org/get-involved/events/diamond-collar-awards

(4/4) Meek and reserved, Butters arrived at Oregon Humane Society terrified of people. Recognizing his unease, staff quickly enrolled him in our Behavior Modification Program, with his own quiet space inside our Behavior and Rescue Center (BRC).

Thanks to donors he got all the support he needed and space to decompress. Eventually, he grew confident enough to find a soul mate in Peanut who hit all the items on his checklist:

✅ Enjoys rambunctious playtime
✅ Never turns down a moth hunt
✅ Loves long leisurely patio sessions

Since opening last year, the BRC has helped pets like Butters build confidence and learn vital skills 40% faster than they had previously in the main shelter.

(3/4) No need to do a double take 👀 👀 these two brothers aren’t related!

Ripley came to Oregon Humane Society as a BIG energetic boy. Luckily for him, the generosity of donors meant he got all the extra support in our Behavior Modification program he needed to sharpen his skills.

And he found a perfect new forever home and the best adventure he could ask for in his brother, Leo.

(2/4) 🐱 Senior bonded cats seeking retirement in a calm, peaceful home.

Luckily for Bubba and Gigi, the team at Oregon Humane Society Salem Campus knew that this mature duo would find the landing spot to enjoy their golden years. Donor support means there are no time limits for length of stay at OHS.

Today, these two are cozy together in a loving home!

(1/4) As we look back on all the wonderful adoptions that have happened in 2023, four incredible stories of dynamic duos have hit us right in the feels 💞

Cash, a burly but timid boy, came to Oregon Humane Society after his owner passed away. He struggled in the shelter environment, and was sent off to stay with a foster until the right family came along... Thankfully, he didn't need to wait long because his foster family fell in love and decided to adopt him!

Eventually, Cash's family decided they were ready to begin fostering again. Cash was such a compassionate brother to each and every new that came to stay - that was, until he met Oakley.

From the moment they met, Cash and Oakley were much more than friends; they were family.

Moved by the bond of this unlikely duo, Cash's family - once again - decided to make Oakley a family member.

Thanks to supporters like you, both Cash and Oakley were able to get extra care in a loving foster home while they waited to find their way to each other.

Today's a calico kinda , doncha think?

Two-year-old Athena arrived at our shelter when her former family was no longer able to care for her.

While she has a history living with a dog, Athena would likely thrive in a low-traffic home, as she can be a little bit nervous. Once she's warmed up, she is a very sweet girl with an adorable mew!

Last month, 24 Dutch Bros Coffee employees reached out, looking to use their volunteer hours to help Oregon Humane Society Salem Campus. Together, they rejuvenated the campus grounds, hauling massive piles of bark chips to lay a new path for our dog walkers.

In just three hours, the crew accomplished what would've taken our facilities staff several weeks 👏

It takes a village to help the thousands of pets that come to our shelter each year - and we couldn't do it without the partnership of our volunteers.

From all the dogs in our care: THANK YOU 🤩 Dutch Bros!

Reed arrived at Oregon Humane Society Salem Campus on Nov. 5 as a stray with acute allergic dermatitis which left his skin raw and his fur patchy. His ears were also infected, so his ears were plastered in place. Our veterinary team quickly got to work to address his medical needs so that he could recover.

Our staff and volunteers got to know Reed well as he was kept off our main adoption floor during his recovery period. As you can see, he's made a full 180 and is now ready to find his loving family!

At just over a year old, Reed still has a puppy-like quality and is very playful! On this , he'd love to find a family that can provide him lots of exercise and brain games, while keeping up the training skills he's learned at OHS. Learn more through link in bio!

Ringo has just one question: a-whoooooooo's ready for Friday? 🙋

This sweet, senior pup arrived at our shelter on December 5 as a stray dog. The good Samaritan who found him shared that, "he did well with my dog, rode in a car really nicely, and is such a sweet ol' hound dog."

Ringo seems to have some vision impairment, but his grade-A snoot will help him sniff out all the you're hiding your pockets. He's currently staying with one of our dog fosters, but he'd sure love to meet you! Click bit.ly/RingoTheDog to give this loving boy the he deserves ❤️
