Oregon Humane Society Receives $75,000 Matching Gift for Animal Care

Oregon Humane Society Receives $75,000 Matching Gift for Animal Care

The Oregon Humane Society (OHS) has announced a holiday matching gift campaign, where donations will be doubled up to $75,000, thanks to The Eccles Coit Family Foundation. This initiative aims to provide comfort and joy for animals in their care, like a dog named Coca Cola, who arrived with severe, painful skin issues. Coca Cola's family had to surrender her to OHS because they could no longer manage her long-term treatment. In the past six months, OHS has received over 1,490 surrendered animals due to various circumstances. The medical team at OHS provided immediate relief and a comprehensive care plan for Coca Cola, whose resilient and sweet personality shone through despite her pain. With dedicated care from staff and volunteers, Coca Cola's condition improved, and she has since found a loving home.
