Mission Statement
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.
About This Cause
Founded in 1897, the Humane Society for Southwest Washington has a long tradition of caring for animals of Southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon. The HSSW is the largest open admission shelter in the Portland metro area and is a member of the Animal Shelter Alliance of Portland (ASAP), a coalition working together to end the euthanasia of healthy, treatable and rehabilitate-able animals in our area. In 2015, HSSW received 6,500 animals, adopted 4,400 animals, united 812 families with their lost pets, and transferred 314 animals to other facilities. HSSW’s foster volunteers cared for 1,022 of these animals that were too young or fragile for the shelter and helped many animals overcome significant medical and behavioral challenges. For the third year in a row, the HSSW was able to save the lives of all healthy, treatable and rehabilitate-able animals in our care. Our organization achieved an 88% live release rate (95% dogs/81% cats) while decreasing the average length of stay from 22 days to 20 days
