Organization Information

Mission Statement

We are committed to improving the welfare of animals by addressing the extensive overpopulation problem among homeless dogs and cats. We accomplish this mission by: - Saving as many dogs as possible from overcrowded shelters; - Accepting surrendered and abandoned dogs and cats; - Spaying or neutering every animal in our care; - Working with our community to Trap-Neuter-Release stray/colony cats and providing rescue and care to injured and sick kittens and cats from colonies; - And through adoption, finding forever loving homes for all our animals.

Description

OFOSA rescues dogs and cats that are in jeopardy of euthanasia and houses them in foster homes until they are adopted. All of OFOSAs animals are temperament tested for behavior, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and ID microchipped before adoption. Adoptions are by appointment only, unless otherwise specified on our website and social media.

I adopted my beloved dog from OFOSA. She was transported all the way to Oregon from a high kill shelter in California. She was spayed, vaccinated and microchipped, and happy and healthy when we got her. She has been an awesome addition to our family and to this day I am so grateful to OFOSA for saving her life.

OfOSA is a great place to volunteer you get the chance to learn about animals and what they need working here. The volunteers and other staff are all very polite and kind. It has been great working for this organization, when I first came in it felt very home like and still does.

I first thought the OFOSA was a great idea and a great organization. After seeing countless pets they have adopted out I have changed my opinion. Several puppies have had parvo and died as well as sick kittens that don't make it past the first day. Our dog had parvo and is fighting for his life. They know they are with holding information on how sick their pets are so they agree to pay for the services however when our vet clinic called to get payment they said no they never agreed to that. I have 6 people who heard them say they would pay. Now our vet clinic is out a thousand dollars they are luckily being very nice about it however, they did say they will no longer be working with or donating to the OFOSA. Their headquarters is dirty and the people act like you are wasting their time, especially on the phone. I wouldn't recommend anyone volunteering there or adopting from them they are dishonest. I have met several people with the same issues a few whose pets died. Do not trust them
