The oregon humane society ("OHS") is a private animal welfare organization, founded in 1868 and incorporated in 1880, whose mission is to create a more humane society with the vision of a world where ALL animals are treated with compassion, kindness and respect. OHS is a stand-alone, nonprofit organization, operating with campuses in portland and salem, oregon. OHS is supported primarily by private donations and revenues generated from services provided to care and find homes for homeless animals, protect animals from cruelty and neglect, provide accessible veterinary care and training service, and educate the community on the humane treatment of animals.
