Umpqua Valley Humane Society

                               Welcome

 

The Umpqua Valley Humane Society, based in Roseburg, Oregon, is a nonprofit organization committed to serving Douglas County through compassionate care, education, and advocacy for animals. Its mission centers on reducing pet overpopulation, preventing neglect and abuse, and ultimately eliminating euthanasia by promoting responsible pet ownership.

 

                                     Our Mission in Action:

 

• Reduce pet overpopulation by providing and funding spay and neuter services to ensure fewer unwanted litters.​

• Promote responsible pet ownership through education, resources, and community support.​

• Work toward ending euthanasia by increasing safe placements and preventing animals from entering crisis situations.​

• Preventing animal abuse and neglect through early education programs in partnership with Animal Control, contributing to a 77% reduction in youth-related incidents.​

• Support the community by offering guidance, resources, and assistance to pet owners in need.​

• Facilitate safe and ethical adoptions by connecting dogs in need of homes with responsible adopters—always free of charge and never for profit.

• Ensure animal health and safety by requiring all adopted dogs to be spayed or neutered at the organization’s expense​

• Provide community outreach programs such as pet visits to nursing homes and wellness-focused initiatives that strengthen the human-animal bond.

• Increase access to preventative care by hosting rabies vaccination clinics throughout Douglas County.​

• Enhance emergency response for animals by equipping local K-9 units with protective vests and supplying fire departments with oxygen masks for pets.

​

Through these efforts, the Umpqua Valley Humane Society strives to create a safer, more humane community for both animals and the people who care for them.
