The Humane Society of Eastern Oregon is dedicated to providing compassionate shelter for homeless animals, reuniting lost pets with their families, and finding forever homes for those in need. We are committed to giving every healthy and non-aggressive animal a meaningful second chance.
As a non-profit, open-door facility, we proudly serve the Umatilla and Morrow County areas and act as the municipal animal shelter for the city of Hermiston. We believe in being a reliable resource for our community by caring for dogs and cats that have been abandoned, lost, or surrendered due to difficult life circumstances.
Our shelter provides a safe, comfortable environment where animals stay for as long as they need while they await their new families. We do not operate on a strict time limit, and we have many success stories of animals thriving in our care for months until the perfect match is found. We also maintain a special commitment to puppy welfare, offering incentives to ensure litters are surrendered young so we can provide vaccinations and secure them loving, permanent homes.
We believe that adopting a pet is a beautiful, lifelong commitment, which is why we take considerable care in finding the right matches for both the animal and your household. To support your transition, every adoption includes a free vet examination, vaccinations, and a 3-day return policy to ensure your new companion is the right fit. We are here to help you navigate the responsibilities of pet ownership and ensure a positive, lasting relationship.
We invite you to visit our facility in Hermiston or browse our current residents online via Petfinder to find your next best friend. Whether you are ready to adopt, interested in volunteering, or wishing to donate to our mission, your support helps us provide the care every animal deserves.
