Oregon Humane Society Portland Campus — Attraction in Portland

Update: i went in at the end of November 2024 to explore for a dog companion for my dog. I was taken into the managers office and victim to her aggression about this original review she said was removed in said attack based meeting while i heald my 4 month old baby i had to ask her they him lesbian looking person to please calm down as their voice was unjustified a year later and she he they told me that himain society is not a good fit for me to adopt based on previous review. This review was a year ago so i was a target. I ask she he they are removed because she is a threat to me and i wont be back because of the injustice they have given to a animal i could have saved from their kennel. The dog i did ask to see last year 12-29-2023 was swept from my fated meet when i arrived without my knowledge and replaced by chevy without my consent. I have him back and saw Charice ran from a neighborhood i worked in. I could have saved her from the trouble caused by these criminals who unlawfully switched up my adoption needs. Originally I went in on the 30th of December and Met Clarice. A dog full of anxiety and i am a healerwho has the time and resources to train her. She was a pitbull mix and tiny enough for me to pick up. I fell in love. I wanted a girl dog as well. And her and I got along immediately. Even the volunteer said she never did what she was doing, which was grind up against the cage just to be pet by me. So that was the original plan to take her home. BEN even called me the next day after I did THE intake online that night. And we had a whole conversation with Ben. Then Ben never informed me that he changed HIS OWN mind WITH the other gal i talked to about Clarice to qualify me to be her mom and her new rescue owner not 2 hours before meeting clarice in the uncaged area. They had plenty of time to let me know tgey would lie and waste mybtime but I fealtbated into an argumentso i stayed.. But while I got there. I sat in the room with Ben. And he LECTURED me like he was on some UPPERS?! I'm not sure what HES ON.. But he was very irritable and I asked him. Why are you judging me when I qualify perfectly. Everything that you said I've already checked off and I'm ready to take her home. He gave me an attitude and said. "Well, you won't let me finish". And I just got a word and edgewise so actually I let him talk for about 20 minutes about how I'm not qualified. Which none of what he said to me gave me Any reason to believe that I wasn't qualified so he was in control?!but he ended up saying I want you to meet Chevy which is a male dog. And I'm not real thrilled about pit bulls, little lone male dogs that don't listen that I've had in the past. So I wasn't really thrilled about this flamboyant ben. Possibly drug addict guy who was high or feigning. Im a healer by trade. I am very calm so when people approach me the way that he did. I just want to Runaway but I stayed well within my scope to Talk about Chevy for a brief moment before I said ok, I'll meet him. Chevy is a great dog. He listens. He learns he is very smart. He's from Louisiana and I'm happy that I do have him after I asked all the qualifying questions to close the deal on my end. He is somewhat calm. He didn't get along with my cat at first. So I wanted to give him back. Because I can't have my cat being attacked. But now they get along. So during my time there I spent. Deleting the last paragraph to fit the update. I was cherry picked because I was a whistle blower to the crack heads who effected me and the dog I wanted. Investigate this place. The manager gaslit me stating the people behind the counter 12-31-2023 were customers she he they said in November 2024 isolated meeting i...

This is a very hard review to write. The Oregon humane society is where I found my best friend over 7 years ago when I adopted Lucy my rescue pet cocker spaniel. The Oregon humane society was most kind and inviting and extremely helpful and getting my dog adopted. They were very thorough and vetting me to make sure I would be a faithful and loving owner. Unfortunately on July 31st of this year might be love a dog passed away suddenly. I was terrified and stressed and I couldn't stop crying because I had lost a family member a faithful companion a loving friend and a dog that was there every morning when I woke up getting ready for work. But her time had run out she was old and tired and I knew this day was pending but I didn't know it would be this quick. I didn't know what to do I didn't know who to call. But my beloved wife and a calm tone and manner called the humane society and they not only encouraged me to bring Lucy there, we were told that they would handle the services and everything that was involved during this very difficult time. I never knew that Oregon humane society provided these types of services I always thought like many, that that's where you went to get a stray dog or cat to find a good home for them and to nurture them. The Oregon humane society not only provides cremation services they have a cemetery on location that you can bury your pet if that's what you wish to do. I chose to have Lucy cremated and I wanted her ashes close to me so that I at least knew she was nearby and I didn't want to simply pass her on and only have a memory left. I sure love my dog she was a great companion and the Oregon humane society respectfully kindly and with the greatest amount of respect we're so kind to me and cared for Lucy even after she had passed with such grace and professionalism there are not words that can thank these people enough for the tremendously hard work they have to do everyday.

God bless the Oregon humane society and God bless Mrs Harmon who runs the Oregon humane society and I apologize if I got her name wrong but I've read a lot about her and the scope of her knowledge and experience is the reason the Oregon humane society does such a great job caring for neglected animals and trying to find homes for animals that have lost their way. In honor of my dog I have made a greater attempt to try and support the Oregon humane society both financially and through the community because what they did for me was about a love for animals. I miss my dog everyday but I'm sure glad the Oregon humane society was there to help me from welcoming Lucy into my home helping me get her there but also making it a classy and personal way of saying...

We have adopted three previous animals from OHS, and had good experiences. Our senior dog had to be put down in January, due to illness and age. We brought him back to OHS for the procedure, they were incredibly caring and supportive, and even gave him a final exam prior to putting him to sleep to make sure there was nothing else they could do for him. Now, six months later our family is ready to try and adopt another dog. We went this week and chose one that was very large but had a good history with cats, kids, etc... According to the packet of papers filled out by his prior owner. He had only been at OHS a few days, and had done fine there thus far. The process went smoothly and quickly, and we were able to take him home that night. Unfortunately it quickly became evident that his prior owner had not been forthcoming on the paperwork. Not only was he extremely aggressive to our indoor cat, but he also fixated on our son and was growling and snarling at him to the point where he was effectively trapped in his bedroom and unable to come out for fear of being attacked. Because the dog was so large, 90 pounds, he was extremely difficult to restrain and was more than we can handle.we called first thing the next morning and were told to bring him back in that afternoon. We were concerned that maybe they would want us to try some alternatives, but the situation was so out of hand we knew that there was really nothing we were able to do, we can't allow our cat to be hurt or killed. The intake workers at OHS were absolutely wonderful. They did not try to convince us to keep the dog, and agreed that this was not the right fit for the dog or for our family. They gave us the option of a refund or a credit to find a more suitable dog. I don't understand the negative reviews that I have read, our experience with this organization has been nothing but outstanding. I would 100% feel more comfortable adopting from the Humane Society than from a private party that does not have all resources for behavioral support, medical...
