ON THE COVER & ABOVE: Dolly, beloved pet of Audrey Albaugh. Special thanks to Dr. Karl Jernstedt from
Morgan’s Veterinary Hospital in Coos Bay, Ore, who provided lifesaving medical care to Dolly when she was
surrendered to the clinic after a car accident. Audrey, a native of Coos Bay, met Dolly during her recovery and
fell in love. Dolly now lives with OHS alum Sweet Peet and a silly yellow lab named Gladys.

Direct Line
from Sharon Harmon, President and CEO
As 2022 ends, I find myself reflecting on all the new beginnings we set into motion this year.
In July, we welcomed a new community to our organization. As one Oregon Humane
Society with two campuses, pets and people throughout the Salem and Portland metro areas
are benefitting like never before. We are able to collaborate across campuses, share innovative
ideas and resources, and creatively problem-solve to provide support to more pets and people.
When our Humane Law Enforcement team got a call about close to 100 neglected cats and
kittens from Polk County who needed immediate rescue, the staff at OHS’ Salem campus
moved quickly to receive these animals and provide life-saving care. Read more about this
rescue on page 2.
There are heroes in Salem – people and pets. I invite you to get to know a special volunteer at
our Salem campus named Marianne Fox. She works tirelessly to help her favorite breed, the pit
bull, and made a special connection with a shy dog named Rocky. Animals surprise us every
day with their resilience, but I don’t think any of us thought that beneath Rocky’s shy exterior
was the heart of a hero. On page 8, learn how Rocky’s heroic instincts saved a child
from drowning.
We are excited to continue to integrate Salem into OHS and are currently evaluating the needs
of the Salem community so we can refine our programs and improve services across
the mid-valley.
Anticipating future needs is what prompted us to create a vision for the New Road Ahead
expansion project almost eight years ago.
On Oct. 20, less than two years after breaking ground on the project, we hosted a ribbon-cutting
ceremony to celebrate the opening of the Community Veterinary Hospital, Animal Crimes
Forensic Center, and the Behavior and Rescue Center. Read more on page 4.
The first week that the Community Veterinary Hospital was open, the response was very positive.
Access to veterinary care is a challenge all over the country, and we have certainly felt it
in our local communities. The new hospital provides high-quality care for all pet owners. Our
clinical focus is on preventative, dental, spay/neuter, and urgent care — but our mission aims to
provide access for all.
The need for the Behavior and Rescue Center was underscored by several large rescues over
the past four months. This includes cats and kittens from Polk County, Alaskan Malamutes from
Lane County, and neglected dogs suffering from horrific skin issues from Jackson County. Read
more about the types of rescues that led us to build the new Behavior and Rescue Center on
page 6.
The needs of our state are vast, and the New Road Ahead expansion gives us the opportunity
to meet these needs in new and innovative ways.
Every need that we have been able to anticipate and meet is fueled by you, our compassionate
donors. You are the heart of our mission and everything that we have been able to accomplish
this year would not be possible without you. I am more grateful than ever for your support.
Lastly, this year comes to a close with another example of our new chapter, and you are holding
it in your hands. This is the first magazine that fully integrates news from our Portland and
Salem campuses. I hope that as you read through these pages, you are proud of all that we
have accomplished together.
With gratitude,
Sharon M. Harmon, CAWA
President and CEO

Profiles in Compassion — Marianne Fox
Have you met Marianne Fox? If you have, then you know
she would do absolutely anything for our shelter pups! A
volunteer since 2013, she has racked up almost 7,000 hours
of volunteer service. Marianne walks the dogs, cleans their
kennels, plays with them, helps socialize them, donates toys
and treats, and always advocates for the dogs' well-being.
“I continue to volunteer because I love spending time with
the sweet dogs, the great people, and it keeps me out of
trouble!” says Marianne.
Marianne has a heart for dogs who have had a difficult
life so far and she loves to shower them with affection.
She especially loves pit bulls. Marianne forms special
bonds with many of our active dogs, including Max
(pictured here). One of the dogs she remembers fondly is
Rocky. Read his heroic story on pages 8-9.
A star volunteer, Marianne’s passion for pets and the
people who care for them is what keeps her coming
back to the shelter.
OHS Saves Nearly 100 Cats in Polk County Rescue
On Sept. 14, OHS’ Humane Law
Enforcement was contacted to help
with a suspected animal neglect case
near Salem.
Polk County Animal Services transported
the 87 cats and kittens to our
Salem campus. Weeks later, 12 more
cats and kittens from the same case
were rescued.
Dr. Sara Livesay, OHS Salem veterinarian,
recalls, “Initially I was
concerned about what medical
conditions they may have and how
to manage caring for such a large
number of sick cats.”
Several cats required special medical
care. including a special girl
named Wanda, lower left.
Staff from our Salem and Portland
campuses were on-site to assist in
this massive rescue effort. Colleen
Trinidad, OHS Salem’s Hospital Operations
Supervisor, and Dr. Kandace
Henry, one of OHS Portland’s veterinarians,
examined each cat and
performed their initial intake, from
naming them to recording their vitals.
Many of the cats were dehydrated,
emaciated, distressed, and required
extensive medical care.
Dr. Livesay explains, “Wanda was
one of the most memorable cases
for me. She was so scared and
withdrawn initially. She had severe
chronic corneal ulcers in both eyes.
After her eyes were removed and the
pain was taken away, she became a
friendly and loving cat.”
After Wanda’s surgery, she went
home with one of our experienced
medical fosters where she continued
to make a remarkable recovery.

NEWS FROM THE PORTLAND CAMPUS
OHS Receives Gift to Help Abused and Neglected Horses
Oregon Humane Society received
a $25,000 gift from Friends of the
Portland Mounted Patrol to support
animal rescue and investigate cases
of cruelty and neglect, with a focus
on helping horses in need.
This is the third gift from the Portland
Mounted Patrol since Portland Police
disbanded the unit in 2017 due to
a lack of city funds. Since that time,
private funds used to support the
program have been managed by
Friends of Portland’s Mounted Patrol
and distributed to various
community organizations.
OHS is frequently called upon by
local law enforcement agencies and
private citizens to help with horse
rescue and neglect cases around
the state. Humane Special Agents
and other members of the OHS
Humane Law Enforcement team
collect and manage evidence, as
well as investigate and prepare
cases to hold horse owners accountable.
OHS also partners with Sound
Equine Options to help fund the
care and rehabilitation of
neglected equines.
"There is an increasing need to help
rescue horses from neglect,” says
Sharon Harmon, OHS President
and CEO. “This gift will give us the
resources to help fight for those who
can’t speak for themselves.”

Humane Special Agent Emilee Jerome
Joins OHS Humane Law Enforcement
On Oct. 5, Humane Special Agent Emilee Jerome was
sworn in by Oregon State Police during a ceremony
at OHS. Agent Jerome joins OHS’ Humane Law Enforcement
team that includes two other commissioned
officers and a team of outreach, evidence, and
forensic specialists.
Prior to joining OHS, Emilee was a deputy sheriff with
the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Department and held
positions in corrections and as a reserve officer in
Central Oregon.
OHS Humane Special Agents are commissioned by
Oregon State Police to enforce animal welfare laws
throughout Oregon. The Humane Law Enforcement
team often partners with other agencies to provide
training, expertise, guidance, and support. The new
Animal Crimes Forensic Center at OHS will give the
Humane Law Enforcement team an additional tool to
build the strong cases that ensure justice for abused
and neglected animals. The center will also be a resource
to all law enforcement agencies in Oregon
to support animal welfare cases.

On Oct. 20, the ribbon was cut at the New Road Ahead
project site next to our Portland campus. This pivotal moment
marks the end of the largest expansion in Oregon
Humane Society's 154-year history, and the beginning
of a new chapter for the pets and people of Oregon.
The New Road Ahead project consists of three distinct,
purpose-built facilities which will provide critical services to
pets and people in our community and beyond:
The Community Veterinary Hospital (CVH) opened to the
public on Oct. 16. This state-of-the-art hospital specializes in
four areas of veterinary care: preventative care, spay and neuter,
dentistry, and urgent care. The CVH offers subsidized veterinary
services to minimize the financial barriers faced by many. Since
our grand opening, we have seen a huge response from pet
owners in the community, especially those who have been
struggling to afford care for their animals.
The Behavior and Rescue Center (BRC) is our designated safe
space for animals in immediate danger or those who have
experienced trauma. Pets who had previously been part of our
Behavior Modification Program moved into this new center last
month. Having this dedicated space that is insulated from the
busy foot traffic that our shelter sees each day, will help these
pets receive the focused rehabilitation that they deserve.
Our BRC will enable OHS to assist in more rescue operations
across Oregon.
The Animal Crimes Forensic Center (ACFC), the only facility
of its kind on the West Coast, was designed to support law
enforcement agencies in Oregon and beyond. Fully operational
by the end of 2022, this center will support work that is essential
to securing justice for victims of animal cruelty and neglect.
The ACFC is located on the second floor of the Community
Veterinary Hospital.
This ribbon-cutting ceremony marked an important milestone in
the New Road Ahead project. We celebrated the decade of
dreaming and planning, and the monumental work that went
into building these facilities. Our team is proud of all we have
accomplished, and we are reminded that more road lies ahead.
Your continued support is more important than ever as we wrap
up fundraising for this expansion project. We are 98% to our
goal—and you can help carry us over the finish line by making
a charitable donation or purchasing a tribute tag.
You can help us reach the finish line

Society. Learn more and

OHS Cares For Your Pets As Much As You Do
High-Quality Pet Care That Helps Your Community
After years of planning and anticipation, the state-ofthe-art
Community Veterinary Hospital (CVH) opened to
the public. Every time you visit, your pet will receive the
highest quality care—and you will support our vision of
making veterinary care accessible to those in our community
who need it most.
OHS identified the growing difficulty in accessing veterinary
care in the Portland Metro area. We recognized that one of the
main struggles that pet owners face is the cost of care for their
pets, and that even annual check-ups can be cost-prohibitive for
some people. That is why OHS committed to helping community
members access affordable veterinary services — and why
we spent nearly a decade making our vision a reality through
the New Road Ahead Project.
The Four Pillars of CVH’s Veterinary Services
We can treat a variety of species at the CVH including dogs,
cats, rabbits, and rodents. The CVH specializes in four areas of
veterinary services: preventative care, spay and neuter, dentistry,
and urgent care. These are the areas where our community has
the greatest veterinary need.
Help your pet stay in tip-top shape with our preventative care
services. Our team will perform routine wellness exams, which
may include weight management, immunization, parasite control,
early disease detection, and more.
Offering spay and neutering services helps protect the health of
owned pets, while also preventing unwanted litters.
We are thrilled to be able to offer routine dental procedures,
which may include a thorough cleaning under anesthesia,
radiographs, and extractions when needed.
Urgent care at the CVH is designed to help pets with issues
that need immediate medical attention but aren’t necessarily lifethreatening.
For critical or after-hours care, contact your closest
emergency vet clinic.
Visit oregonhumane.org/care or call (503) 802-6800 to book
your pet's next veterinary service.
Financial
Assistance for
Veterinary Services
Our goal is to provide accessible and highquality
veterinary care to our clients and their
pets. We understand that accessing veterinary
services is a challenge to many.
We offer subsidized care to minimize the
financial burdens that may prevent people
from seeking medical care for their pets.

FOCUS ON BEHAVIOR
& RESCUE CENTER
6
The Behavior and Rescue Center (BRC) at Oregon
Humane Society Portland Campus is the first building of
its kind on the West Coast dedicated to helping traumatized
pets heal and providing a safe space for animals
in immediate danger due to natural and
human-made disasters.
The BRC is 13,876 square feet and includes two distinct
areas: kennels and rooms for animals who are part of
the Behavior Modification Program, and flexible kennels
that can accommodate a variety of animals who need
immediate rescue.
There are 24 kennels that can be modified to house
large or small dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, or
other small animals.
When a group of animals are victims of cruelty or
neglect, moving them out of harm’s way quickly is
critical. The BRC will provide a dedicated space for
these animals, allowing OHS to respond immediately
when pets are in crisis.

The Behavior and Rescue Center will
provide a dedicated, quiet space
separate from the main shelter
where animals who have suffered
from neglect can begin treatment
and healing from their trauma.
Several recent cases demonstrate the
need for a dedicated rescue center.
ALASKAN MALAMUTES
September 2022
At the request of Oakridge Police, OHS assisted with a
situation involving an overwhelmed breeder. Four OHS
transport vehicles traveled to the area to bring 38 Alaskan
Malamutes back to the Portland Campus.
The Behavior and Rescue Center’s large kennels could easily
be adapted to house these gentle giants. The large outside
yards also give larger dogs a place to play, socialize, and
spend time with staff and volunteers.
POLK COUNTY CATS
September 2022
The same day the Alaskan Malamutes were being transported
to Portland, OHS Humane Law Enforcement received a call
from Polk County Sheriff’s Office about a suspected neglect
case involving nearly 100 cats and kittens. Many of the animals
needed immediate medical care, so moving them out of the
current home quickly was critical. The feline areas at the Salem
Campus were rearranged and Portland staff were deployed to
help take in the animals.
In the future, the Behavior and Rescue Center will serve as a
central location for multiple rescues if needed.
JACKSON COUNTY DOGS
October 2022
Jackson County Animal Services—on behalf of Jackson
County Sheriff’s Office—reached out to OHS Humane Law
Enforcement to help with a disturbing case. After serving a
search warrant, they discovered several deceased animals,
along with 10 dogs, who needed emergency medical care.
The Behavior and Rescue Center will provide a quiet space
for animals from neglect cases.

Rocky, a black pit bull / pug mix,
arrived at Oregon Humane Society
Salem Campus on May 2, 2022.
In the weeks and months that Rocky
was at OHS Salem, he became a staff
and volunteer favorite. Whenever he
met someone new, he rolled onto his
back to expose his tummy—a sign of
relaxation and trust. Our volunteers
fell in love with his sweet face and
gentle demeanor.
After two months, our team could not
understand why Rocky had not found
his forever home.
8

Suddenly, he darted towards the water. Heather frantically
chased after him, confused as to why he would
approach the water when she knew he was fearful
of it. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw two other
women running towards the water where Rocky
was heading.
Within seconds, he dragged a two-year-old girl
ashore. He had torn through her shirt trying to rescue
her, but the little girl was safe.
Meeting the Howards
When Heather and Richard Howard saw Rocky’s
photo on our website, they felt compelled to meet him.
They had been searching for a dog to join their family,
and his profile described everything they were
looking for.
They scheduled their meet and greet for July 5. When
the Howards took Rocky to the play yard to get to
know him better, he ran around with puppylike
enthusiasm.
Daniela, the Adoptions Specialist who helped the
family, told them, “He never acts like this! He’s usually
more timid around new people.” That’s when Heather
and Richard knew: Rocky was the one, and he went
home with them that day.
Rocky Goes to the Beach
About six weeks after bringing Rocky home, Heather
and Richard felt confident that he was ready for his
first big trip with the family. They rented a room in
Lincoln City overlooking the ocean. After they settled
in, Heather decided to walk Rocky along the beach.
Initially, Rocky was nervous about stepping on the
sand. He walked on three legs for the first few minutes,
unsure of this new and strange sensation of sand
beneath his paws. The sound of the waves crashing
against the shore scared him, which did not surprise
Heather because of how nervous he had been at the
river the previous weekend. But within a few minutes,
Rocky saw another dog running across the beach and
overcame his fear. Heather let him off leash so the two
dogs could play chase.
After he began to play, Rocky felt much more comfortable
on the sand and near the water. He stayed close
to Heather as they walked along the shore.
The family was hysterical, and Heather was in shock.
Everyone first checked to make sure the child was safe
and unharmed. Once they realized she was, they all
turned their attention to Rocky.
True to his character, Rocky rolled onto his back to
show them his tummy.
The family gave Rocky belly rubs and ear scratches
and told him what a good boy he was. Rocky gave
the little girl a big lick on the cheek. The two women
took the girl and walked away as Heather and Rocky
made their way back to the hotel.

Stories like Rocky’s are a great reminder that
heroes come in all shapes and sizes.

THE GIFT OF PEACE OF MIND
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I’M GONE? IT’S NOT A QUESTION WE LIKE TO ASK OURSELVES, BUT IT’S
IMPORTANT TO THINK ABOUT — ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE STRESS IT CAN PUT ON YOUR
FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE A PROPER PLAN IN PLACE.
Estate gifts are a meaningful way to create a legacy
and ensure that pets in need get care long into the
future. OHS relies on estate gifts to fund programs like
medical services, pet adoption, humane law enforcement,
and training and behavior. When you include
OHS in your plan, and let us know, we can keep you
up to date on the programs that are important to you.
Plus, you can direct your gift where it will have the
greatest impact, or to the program area of
your choice.
Estate gifts are critical to sustaining the live-saving
work that takes place every day at OHS. In fact,
nearly one third of our operating costs are funded
through estate gifts.
Getting started does not have to be intimidating.
Here are five important steps to take to give your
family, and you, the gift of peace of mind.
Have an estate plan
A surprisingly large percentage of Americans do not
have any estate plan. The plan’s effect is to provide
for the distribution of your property the way you want
it to occur.
Create a durable power of attorney
A durable power of attorney is a written general
power of attorney given over financial and other key
matters – including banking transactions, collection
and payment of funds, disposition of assets, gifting,
and other issues. If you were unable to act on your
own behalf, your power of attorney steps in to take
care of these responsibilities.
Update beneficiary designations
For many of us, retirement plan benefits and insurance
policies are a major part of the estate. Often, the last
time we looked at our beneficiary a designation is
when we signed up for the retirement plan or when
we applied for insurance.
Review your existing estate plan
An estate plan prepared at one time tends to become
less accurate as time goes by. Certain events and circumstances
should trigger a review of your estate plan.
Have a plan for your pets
Talk to friends and family and update your plan when
needed to ensure that your pet will be cared for when
you are no longer able. Enrolling your pets in OHS’
Friends Forever TM program is a great option.
Visit oregonhumane.org/friends-forever
to learn more and get started.
Estate Planning: Fact or Fiction
Test your knowledge with this quiz from Caress Law,
PC. Are these statements fact or fiction?
1. If you don’t plan for what happens when you die, the
state will do it for you.
2. A pet can be the direct beneficiary of an inheritance.
3. Everyone should have a trust.
4. Only the wealthy need an estate plan.
Answer Key:
1. Fact. Without a will or trust, state law dictates who receives your property.
2. Fiction. Make provisions in your estate plan for the care of your pets and name
a pet caretaker. Enrolling in OHS’ Friends Forever program is a great way to plan
for your pets when you are no longer able to care for them.
3. Fiction. It’s a choice. Not all people need a trust. There are pros and cons and
if you aren’t going to fund it, don’t create a trust.
10
4. Fiction. Modest estates are often the most expensive to administer at death,
especially when there is no plan in place.

d'oeuvres in the macabre ballroom.
The photobooth was a popular feature,
as were readings from a local
pet psychic. Attendees browsed the
silent auction tables with valuable
prizes for pets and people.
The program kicked off shortly
after dinner, where we heard from
Sharon Harmon and Dr. Livesay
about the critical work that Oregon
Humane Society Salem Campus
does for the mid-Valley community.
Dr. Livesay shared her experience
helping to save the lives of
87 cats who were rescued from a
suspected neglect situation in Polk
County and brought to OHS Salem
Campus for care and rehoming.
These cats were in bad condition.
Some of them required surgery to
remove one or both of their eyes
due to untreated pain or infections,
including one sweet cat named
Wanda. (Read more about Wanda
on page 2).
Sharon then showed an incredible
video of Rocky, the OHS Salem
alumni who saved a toddler from
drowning in September. (Read
more about Rocky on page 8)
The incredible stories of the lifesaving
work taking place at OHS
Salem Campus inspired donors
who generously gave more than
$100,000 during the event.
“It was truly a magical evening
and a wonderful opportunity
to get to know the dedicated,
animal-loving community in
Salem,” says Sharon Harmon,
OHS President and CEO.
We ended the night with lots of
kitten cuddles from a rambunctious
litter of foster kittens, who were all
adopted out within a few weeks of
the event.
Thank you to all of our supporters
who made magic for OHS shelter
pets in need.

OHS PHOTO & CALENDAR
2022 CONTEST WINNERS
When you love pets,
it’s only right to celebrate them year
round. This year’s Photo Contest
featured a new element — the
chance to be featured in the first
OHS Calendar — and competition
was fierce.
After one new category, 303 total
entries, over 30,000 votes, and
$27,120 raised for pets, we have
our champions!
It was Shucks, a senior pup from
San Francisco posing amidst a pile
of pumpkins, who stole the show
with 2,246 votes and was crowned
Best Dog. Honorable mention,
however, must go to our Best Dog
runner-up Chicky who brought in
a phenomenal 2,235 votes!
Cleo took Best Cat with 979 votes,
and our best Other Pet this year
was a Guinea Pig named Pickles
Wiggles who brought in 661 total
votes. Our special category Best
Barnyard Buddy had some great
entries, and ultimately it was a
horse named Jazzy who stole the
top spot with 530 votes.
Our Editor’s Choice goes to
notable OHS alumni Oliver Nacho,
a sweetheart with a difficult past
who finally found his forever home
with Tracy in 2018. This loveable
orange tabby was even the ring
bearer in her wedding in 2021.
Sadly, he lost his battle with lung
cancer in 2022, and in the words
of his family “will be forever loved.”
BEST
DOG
Name: Shucks
Hometown:
Portland, OR
Votes: 2,246
When he was 12 years old,
Shucks was surrendered to
Muttville in San Francisco.
I foster failed in a week
and adopted my best
friend. He just turned 15,
and he is thriving! He has
exactly half his teeth left
and zero hearing, but that
doesn't slow him down. He
loves long walks with lots
of sniffing, followed by
laying for hours in your lap.
He's the happiest
little buddy.
BEST
CAT
Name: Cleo
Hometown:
West Linn,
OR
Votes: 979
Cleo, short for Cleo-cat-ra, is a sassy little kitty! She has always dreamed
of being a calendar girl. When she’s not lounging in boxes, she likes to
play fetch with crumpled up post-it notes. She also enjoys meowing like
she hasn’t eaten in days and then when you feed her, she takes one bite of
food and walks away. She brings lots of joy to our family! Follow her
@cleokardashian on TikTok.

BARNYARD
BUDDY
Name: Jazzy
Hometown: Oregon City, OR
Votes: 530
Jazzy is a 20-year-old Missouri Foxtrotter/
Kentucky Mountain horse who enjoys the
Oregon coast during the summer. She is
gaited and fun to ride in the
ocean waves.
BEST
OTHER
PET
Name: Pickles Wiggles
Hometown:
West Linn, OR
Votes: 661
Pickles is our newest family member. She is
almost 1 year old. Her favorite treats include
freeze dried strawberries, fresh apple slices, and
her most favorite vitamin C. Each night before
bed, we call “night night Pickles.” Pickles is very
vocal and lets us know when she needs attention
or love.
EDITOR'S
CHOICE
Name: Oliver Nacho
Hometown:
Portland, OR
Votes: 20
Oliver Nacho had multiple homes before finding
his way into Tracy’s arms. Despite his medical
challenges, she adopted him from OHS in 2018.
He was the very best cat and served as ring
bearer in her 2021 wedding. Oliver Nacho died
in 2022 of lung cancer. He will be forever loved.

HAPPY
TAILS
FINDING
HOMES FOR ANIMALS IS ONE OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE DO AT
OREGON HUMANE SOCIETY.
WHEN ADOPTERS KEEP IN TOUCH, THEIR
STORIES AND PHOTOS INSPIRE US.
Sherlock, our OHS resident mystery solver—his greatest case was the
mystery of finding the lost treat—came to the shelter in May 2022. From
Pendleton to Portland, this friendly floof was looking for his human soulmate.
Sherlock, now Ripley, spent the summer in the Behavior Modification
Program working with the Training and Behavior team to get ready
for his new home. What he found were his human and his dog bestie.
“I met Ripley, and he tried to steal my purse. I appreciated his flair for
fashion and decided to come back to introduce him to my dog,” says
Rachel. “My first dog, Leo, is a 100-pound German Shepherd / Alaskan
Malamute mix (around 7 years old). They hit it off right away, but Ripley
didn’t know how to control his excitement around Leo.”
Rachel trained with Ripley and OHS’ behavior staff—practicing
leashed walks with both dogs and play sessions. The work and support
the OHS trainers provided helped Rachel feel confident adopting.
Now the three of them enjoy hikes and cuddling.
“Ripley enjoys laying by the fireplace curled up next to his new best
friend and their shared mountain of dog toys,” says Rachel. “I’m very
happy to report that this adoption worked out very well for
all involved.”
When Renegade showed up at OHS, it was clear he would
need a special home. This sweet and playful boy needed a
quiet home and a patient person willing to give him time to
adjust and blossom.
Renegade spent months in the Behavior Modification
Program. Our team showed him love and helped him open
up. They soon discovered that he was a very curious and
smart cat. During his time at OHS, he learned how to open
cabinets to find tasty treats to eat and even attempted to
jump into the trash can.
Renegade, now Loki, found the purr-fect adopter in Nicole,
who was willing to be patient to help him continue
to blossom.
“The behavior team worked wonders, and while it has
taken time and patience, Loki is really starting to trust and
feel at home,” says Nicole. “I got so excited today when
he finally jumped on my bed and slept beside me. We
love him so much, and I am so grateful to be Loki’s
cat mama.”

Phoebe and Sophie were two of the 80 beagles brought to OHS’
Portland and Salem campuses during the massive rescue in August
2022. Sixty of the dogs went to the Portland campus while 20
were transported to Salem.
Eager to adopt one of the beagles, Tina submitted applications
to both our Portland and Salem campuses. She initially tried to
adopt Sophie from the Portland campus but was told another
adopter was already lined up.
OREGON HUMANE SOCIETY
The next day, Tina and her family met Phoebe at the Salem
campus and immediately fell in love. Two hours after bringing
Phoebe home, Tina received a call from OHS Portland that
Sophie’s adopter fell through, so the family loaded into the car
to meet her. They brought Sophie home the same day!
The two girls were so excited to see one another. According
to Tina, “Phoebe and Sophie are total opposites. Phoebe was
nervous at first and didn’t know how to walk down the stairs,
while Sophie was totally fearless. Thank you for all that you
do for the precious animals that come to Oregon
Humane Society.”
Phoebe and Sophie love playing, snuggling, and messing
with their big brother, Jack the cat.
Fritz, a 2006 OHS Salem Campus alumni, has been living
the good life with his cat-mom, Natalie, for over 16 years.
When Natalie first spotted him at the shelter, she felt an
instant connection.
“I adopted Fritz after a big life change, and a crosscountry
move from Kentucky to Salem. It was the first time
I had been without a pet in my whole life. When I saw
him in the shelter, he looked really nervous and overwhelmed,
and I connected with him immediately.”
The two have been inseparable ever since. Natalie’s
life has undergone many changes over the years, and
Fritz has been there through every twist and turn.
Though he’s gotten older, Natalie says, “He still loves
treats, leash walks, and wrestling with his brothers.
But he also loves lap time and nap time.” A pictureperfect
life.

A GIFT WITH
GUARANTEED
INCOME FOR LIFE
By Charles Aubin
I am a long-time supporter of Oregon Humane
Society (OHS). I’ve done it all—volunteering,
donating, and working with staff. In fact, I’ve
even been Santa at the holiday event, Santa
Paws, for over twenty years! As I deepened
my relationship with animals and their people,
I wanted to further my commitment to their
future. My desire to create more meaningful
change is why I supported Oregon Humane
Society with a charitable gift annuity (CGA).
CGAs have double the impact. When you
support OHS with a CGA, you provide lifesaving
resources for pets in need—and a lifetime
of guaranteed annual income for yourself.
It’s simple. If you are 65 or older and give a
charitable gift annuity of $10,000 or more
to OHS, you will receive guaranteed annual
income for the remainder of your life. The
annuity payment amount is fixed at the time
of your gift and depends on the age(s) of the
income beneficiaries. These payments can be
made to you and/or a loved one.
Your charitable gift annuity can help pets like
Gus receive a second chance. He, like so many
others, was surrendered due to his family’s inability
to care for him. Because of OHS,
Gus was able to find a loving home that understands
his needs and allows him to become
the best dog he can be.
By establishing a CGA with Oregon Humane
Society, you ensure that pets get their second
chances long into the future while providing
yourself with financial security. I like CGAs so
much that I now have three of them and enjoy
the reliable twice-a-year payments that are
sent to me. I hope you will join me by investing
in animals and your future with a charitable
gift annuity.
Getting started is easy. For a confidential,
personalized illustration of how a CGA
would work for you, visit
legacy.oregonhumane.org/cga
or contact Gary Kish at (503) 416-2988.

BUSINESS PARTNER PROFILE: CASHMERE CONSTRUCTION
Derek Dunmyer, President of Cashmere Construction in Salem, has built a business that
not only focuses on remodeling and new construction, but also on giving back to
the community.
“Our team members live and work here, so we feel it’s important to support local
organizations such as Oregon Humane Society here in Salem, that are making a significant
impact on people and pets.”
Cashmere has been a dedicated sponsor of shelter events, including WillaMutt Strut,
the yearly fun run/walk, as well as Bowser’s Boo Bash gala and auction.
“We are so grateful for the many resources OHS provides for animals in need in our
community and are proud to help in any way we can,” said Derek.
While many Cashmere team members have pets, they obviously can’t come to work.
But employees get some purrs and woofs when remodeling homes.
“A number of our clients have dogs or cats,” said Derek. “And of course, their animals
are part of the family, so it’s fun meeting all types of cats and dogs.”
Thanks to corporate sponsors like Cashmere Construction, OHS Salem Campus
can continue to provide the foundation to create a More Humane Society.
