Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: The humane society for southwest washington enriches the lives of people, pets and our community through adoption and outreach, and serves as a resource for companion animal services and education.
Programs: Shelter services: the organization offers shelter to unwanted, abandoned, lost and homeless animals from clark and skamania counties as well as other animals in need that are brought to the organization. The organization provides food, water, medication, shelter and, if needed, humane euthanasia.
adoption services: the organization provides quality adoption services to the southwest washington community. Adopters are screened to ensure that they will provide good care to the animal being adopted. The organization has a pet-matching program which works to match pets with potential adopters. All animals adopted from the organization are vaccinated against disease, treated for parasites, licensed or issued an identification tag, and given a certificate for free health exam with the veterinarian of the adopter's choice. All animals are either spayed or neutered prior to adoption. In addition, the organization offers training and animal behavior information with each adoption. At hssw, we are committed to ending the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals. As an open-admission shelter, hssw accepts companion animals regardless of breed, health or behavior. Our staff and volunteers provide support and life-saving rehabilitation for the animals in our care. These efforts make our community one of the safest for pets. Hssw is proud to have a save rate of 92.9% and as a member of asap, hssw contributes to an overall portland/vancouver metro area save rate of 94.7%.
education program: the organization offers education information to both potential adopters and the community. The organization gives education presentations to schools, civic groups, and other interested parties. The organization also produces a quarterly newsletter and sponsors year round education and training programs for children and youth. Through the organization's efforts, the message of the importance of spaying and neutering and proper animal care is made available to the community. Volunteer program: volunteers assist by helping with adoptions, filing, answering telephones, walking dogs, feeding animals in the shelter, staffing the organization's thrift store, socializing with and grooming animals, promoting and staffing special events, and providing foster care for shelter animals.
