Pepper's Story

What my friends at OHS say about me: Treats and time are the way to my heart! Give me some of each and as I get more comfortable my true personality will shine. If you have a vacant lap, I would be glad to keep it warm! Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace, but I warm up with treats and toys. Sometimes, I grin like a human and show my teeth to you. I have hip dysplasia and may require long term management. You can use my favorite toys or treats as positive reinforcement and to teach me new things. I am smart and enjoy puzzle toys! Click here to sign-up for our Start over Rover class! We will help you set you on the right path to have the best life possible with your new furry friend through training, games, and exercises! The type of home I'm looking for: I may do best in a home where there is a resident dog to help boost my confidence! It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.

Oregon Humane's Adoption Policy

Oregon Humane’s Portland and Salem campuses are open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days per week. Adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. When you come to the shelter and see a pet you are interested in meeting, please take note of the pet’s name and visit the front desk in the lobby. Our Customer Care team will be happy to assist you with the next steps. Step 1: Come to the shelter! Visit our Portland or Salem campuses to view available pets in person! You can also view all adoptable animals on our website, which is updated with new pets every day. The shelter is open for walk-through viewing from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days per week. Bringing home a pet is a family decision, so we encourage you to bring the whole family and other decision-makers. If you’re thinking about adopting a dog, don’t forget a leash! Step 2: Meet and greet Once you’ve found a pet you’re interested in meeting, take note of the pet’s name and visit the front desk in the lobby. We’ll have you fill out a brief questionnaire. You can also save time by filling out the questionnaire before visiting the shelter. Just let our staff know that you have already submitted your information and they can pull it up in our system. Please note: Meet and greets are done on a first-come/first-served basis. There may be a wait time during our busiest times, including the weekends. Our goal is to help you within 30 minutes to arrange a meet and greet, but wait times may vary. We appreciate your patience. Be sure to allow enough time and have flexibility in your schedule when you visit. Step 3: Take your new pet home! We do not offer holds on any animals at this time. For more information about what is included with your new pet’s adoption, please head on over to our Adoption Support page. All adopted animals are required to go home with safety mechanisms in place. We require that all cats and small animals go home in a carrier. You can bring your carrier from home or we will send your new cat or small animal home in a cardboard carrier. All dogs are required to go home on leash and we will safely secure them in your vehicle or rideshare for you.

Our Mission

We transform compassion into action, creating an ecosystem where all of us – animals and humans – feel safe, valued, and part of something bigger.
