About This Cause
Central Oregon Animal Friends D.B.A. Three Rivers Humane Society is a Madras, Oregon based 501c(3) nonprofit established in October 2012. This organization was born of a desire to create a better life for the animals of Central Oregon and to do our part to help put an end to pet overpopulation in our area. In November 2013 COAF was awarded the contract to operate Jefferson County Kennels and as an organization, we now take on a new role in our community. With this change came a new name, Three Rivers Humane Society reflecting the three rivers of Jefferson County; the Deschutes, the Metolius, and the Crooked Rivers. Our goals for the shelter have been the highest quality care of the animals, a healthy financial fitness, building strong community relationships, and facilitating a low cost spay/neuter program for Jefferson County. It has been hard work but we love being rewarded by the faces of the 4 footed residents! Our Mission is committed to promoting healthy, safe and lifelong relationships between people and their pets through sustainable programs of education, adoption and spay/neutering. We will endeavor to fight for the abused and abandoned, and foster a community where no companion animal will be killed because it is homeless. Our Vision for a successful progressive humane animal program is to foster a community of reciprocity with veterinarians, county animal control agencies, pet owners, and potential adopters, with a common commitment to: Create an environment of compassionate and respectful treatment of companion animals. Work toward the goal of putting an end to pet overpopulation through education and community spay/neuter programs. Promote an atmosphere where euthanizing healthy, adoptable animals is not acceptable. Management Philosophy We shall provide shelter and care for animals in need.
