In the past 18 months, the costs to operate the shelter have increased dramatically. It now costs nearly $29 per day to house a dog at our facility.
“This event will help raise funds so we can deliver and maintain our high level of service to Madras and Jefferson County,” said Stephen Drynan, executive director of Three Rivers Humane Society. “This time is especially challenging, but we know that with support from the community, we can continue to be THE resource for animal welfare in northern Central Oregon.”
Find your new best furry friend by visiting Three Rivers Humane Society, 1694 SE McTaggart Road in Madras. The shelter is open 10am to 5pm Tuesday through Saturday.
