The Josephine County Animal Shelter puts no time limit on how long animals remain at the shelter — a pet stays available for adoption for as long as necessary to find a loving home. If a pet in the care of the shelter needs medical attention, it is provided with the same level of care you would want your own pet to receive.
Your donations help place hundreds of animals each year into their forever homes. Whether you make a one-time donation or set up a recurring monthly gift, your contributions save lives. You could provide food, medication, medical care, a cozy bed, cleaning supplies, and much more for these animals. It’s possible to designate your donation to a specific need, like Heartworm Heroes, or Pet to Vet programs.
Shelter Friends is an all-volunteer organization and our support comes from generous donors like you. If you are looking for a non-profit to support, your donations will help take care of the animals and change the trajectory of their lives for the better.
