SoHumane
Our Mission
At the Southern Oregon Humane Society, we are dedicated to improving the lives of pets and people through sustainable programs of education, spay/neuter initiatives, and compassionate adoption services. We believe every companion animal deserves a second chance, and we work tirelessly to ensure they find the loving homes they deserve.
A Legacy of Compassion
Since our founding in 1928 by Mae Richardson, we have provided more than 97 years of lifesaving efforts to our community. What began as an all-volunteer organization has grown into a vital resource that addresses pet overpopulation and provides quality care for approximately 1,600 companion animals every year.
How We Serve
Our shelter in Medford serves as a safe haven for displaced pets and those transferred from other shelters via our Saving Train program. We are proud to be a facility where animals are never euthanized due to a passage of time or space restrictions. By providing medical care and behavioral support, we prepare each animal for their next chapter in a forever home.
Your Adoption Journey
When you adopt from SoHumane, you gain a partner in pet parenthood. We prioritize thoughtful matching and provide post-adoption support to ensure your new family member transitions smoothly into your life. Whether you are looking for a young friend or a distinguished senior pet, our team is here to help you find your perfect match.
