Through our unwavering efforts, the Bend Humane Society has made a profound impact on the lives of animals in Central Oregon:
Adoption Services:
We offer a wide variety of animals for adoption, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and small animals. Our staff is dedicated to matching animals with their perfect families, providing pre-adoption counseling and ongoing support.
Veterinary Services:
Our fully equipped veterinary clinic provides affordable services to pets of all ages, including vaccinations, spaying and neutering, dental care, and treatment for injuries and illnesses.
Humane Education:
Our humane education programs focus on responsible pet ownership, the importance of spaying and neutering, and the benefits of animal companionship. We offer presentations for schools, community groups, and individuals of all ages.
Pet Food Bank:
We operate a pet food bank that provides free pet food to low-income families and individuals experiencing financial hardship.
Community Outreach:
We partner with local businesses, animal control agencies, and other organizations to promote animal welfare and provide support to animals in need.
Benefits to Animals:
Providing animals with proper care and a loving environment not only improves their physical and mental health but also enhances their quality of life.
Benefits to Humans:
Companion animals have been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve mood, and provide emotional support.
Benefits to the Community:
Animal welfare programs contribute to reducing animal cruelty, promoting public safety, and fostering a sense of community.
Donate:
Your financial support helps us provide essential services to animals in need.
Volunteer:
We rely on our dedicated volunteers to assist with animal care, adoption counseling, and community outreach.
Adopt a Pet:
Adopting a pet from the Bend Humane Society not only gives a homeless animal a loving home but also frees up space for other animals in need.
Max the Miracle Dog:
Max was a stray dog found in a ditch with severe injuries. The Bend Humane Society team spent months rehabilitating him, and he eventually made a full recovery. He has since been adopted into a loving home and is now a joyful companion.
Kenzie the Kitten:
Kenzie was an orphaned kitten that was rescued from a storm drain. She was bottle-fed and cared for by our staff and has grown into a healthy and playful cat. She has recently been adopted and is enjoying her new life in a loving family.
Willow the Senior Dog:
Willow was an elderly dog that had been neglected and abandoned. The Bend Humane Society took her in and provided her with medical care and emotional support. She lived out her remaining days in a loving foster home, filled with joy and dignity.
Spay and Neuter:
Spaying and neutering pets prevents unwanted litters and reduces pet overpopulation, contributing to fewer animals in shelters.
Responsible Pet Ownership:
Educating pet owners about responsible practices, such as providing proper veterinary care, training, and socialization, helps promote animal welfare and prevent neglect and abuse.
Community Collaboration:
Partnerships with animal control agencies, veterinarians, and local businesses allow us to provide comprehensive support for animals in need.
Innovative Technology:
Utilizing technology, such as pet tracking systems and online adoption platforms, can enhance our ability to reunite lost pets with their owners and facilitate the adoption process.
The Bend Humane Society is an indispensable force for good in our community, providing a lifeline to countless animals and fostering a culture of compassion and responsibility. By supporting our work, you become part of a vital movement to create a world where all animals are treated with dignity and respect. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them.
