Josephine County Animal Shelter, with the support of Shelter Friends and the citizens of Josephine County, have turned our shelter into a model for others’ to follow. In the past five years, adoptions, transfers, and owner redemptions have increased and euthanasia has dropped. Josephine County no longer has to euthanize animals to make space for new animals entering the shelter! Once an animal is deemed adoptable, they stay at the shelter or in a foster home until they are adopted or transferred to one of our many partners.

How’d we spend your money last year?

One of the programs that has contributed to the reduction of euthanasia in dogs is the Heartworm Heroes Program. This joint effort between the shelter and Shelter Friends is now treating Heartworm positive dogs and getting them ready for adoption.

We make donating easy….just follow the button to PayPal, and we’ll do the rest! A one time or recurring donation is very simple to set up, and the animals will appreciate your generosity!

Shelter Friends supports the Josephine County Animal Shelter to facilitate the adoption of homeless animals in our county. We were formed exclusively with the health, well-being and permanent placement for each animal whose life touches ours.
