About
Willamette Humane Society has maintained record life-saving initiatives. Again this fiscal year, 95% of animals brought into the shelter were saved: 2,929 pets were adopted, 135 animals were returned to their owners, and 434 were transferred to partnersequating to 96% of dogs and 94% of cats. Extensive resources, in staff time, shelter space, and treatment costs, were dedicated to veterinary care and the Behavior and Training department, which again enabled a high percentage of pets to be adopted by local families. For example, cats who could not be handled safely at intake moved to a quiet room to settle before being reassessed for placement. A total of 222 animals (mostly cats) were allowed this extra time and 96% of them found live outcomes. In this fiscal year, WHS leadership elected euthanasia for 36 dogs and 147 cats with unmanageable medical or behavioral quality of life issues. Zero healthy, rehabilitatable, or manageable pets were euthanized, and no pet was euthanized for space or time limits.Customer Service Representatives responded to 11,057 calls, the majority (57%) of which were regarding our primary services: Surrender of a cat (14.5%), adoption questions (13.5%), reporting a lost pet (11.1%), bringing in a stray cat (10.5%), or surrendering a dog (7.7%).Included in adoption numbers were 514 animals who were adopted off-site at locations such as retail pet supply stores that partnered with WHS to increase adoption options for pets. In addition, 221 kittens were adopted at Kitten Kaboodle, the shelters seasonal adoption center located at Salem Center Mall. Off-site adoption partnerships allow WHS to house more animals available for adoption without overcrowding shelter kennels, and in locations more accessible by public transportation.WHS provides an exceptional adoption package that includes essential items such as a veterinary exam, spay or neuter surgery, microchip and registration, collar and personalized ID tag, leash and/or carrier, first vaccination(s), deworming. Newly adopted pets and owners also receive 30-45 days of complementary pet medical insurance, discounts on veterinary care, and a wide variety of dog training classes and one-on-one behavior consulting as part of the adoption package.
