Home At Last Humane Society

Regional Non-Profit High Save Humane Society

Home at Last is a private, non-profit humane society located in The Dalles, Oregon in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. Started in 2000 by caring individuals who were concerned that too many dogs and cats were being euthanized in our community simply because they were homeless. Home at Last was born with nothing more than a firm belief that there was a better way to treat the needy pets in our community and a firm commitment to make these changes happen.

Who needs a best friend??

Things have been moving slow on the new Social Medias for Columbia Gorge Humane Society so we decided to do a few more posts here to keep people informed on what’s going on. Don’t forget HAL and CGHS are only different names! We have all the same animals and staff members.

We need adopters! Applications for adopting has slowed down recently and we are hoping to get things picked back up again. We will give a discount to the first 3 people that come and adopt a dog from us! Some of our adoption fee’s are already as low as $25 due to how long they have been here.

We have many different breeds, ages and activity levels! This particular dog is Scrappy and she is so so sweet. She just needs a chance!

DOG FOOD DONATIONS NEEDED!

The shelter is no longer Home At Last but it is still all the same animals and staff members. Dogs still need two meals a day, everyday! And our dog population is large right now. We need your help more than ever! Please please bring a bad of dog food down to the shelter if you are able. We have very limited funds to purchase food! Your donations keep bellies full and help us serve as many animals as possible.

Thank you!

The shelter is in need of someone that knows a little something about dryers! We have one that is having some issues and are hoping that it can be fixed instead of replacing it. Do you or anyone you know have any knowledge on dryers? I will list some other small items the shelter is always needing!

Exam gloves
Paper towels
Laundry detergent
Dish soap
Mopping supplies
Disinfectant wipes and spray
Printer paper
Gallon zip lock bags
LARGE collars
Leashes
DOG TREATS

We appreciate our community so much and you all are so gracious. Thank you for assisting the community in all the large and small ways ❤️

Both of these dogs came in over the weekends! The first does have a rabies tag and I was able to get a phone number from a veterinarian however haven’t heard anything back from owners yet (not sure if numbers are current.) The second dog was found out between Dufur/Tygh Valley and there are posts going around that she has a family. Please call us if either of them are yours!

Sometimes all kittens need is a good flea bath and an extra large bowl of food 💚

Don’t forgot to like and follow Columbia Gorge Humane Society’s new page! We will slowly stop doing social media through the HAL page and we don’t want you to miss anything!

Let’s clear up a few things real quick.

If there is a question in ownership over a dog that is being held at the shelter PROOF of ownership will be required to regain possession of the animal. Who the proof is through will be called to verify the information. If information is falsified the animal will not be released. We are here to serve the animals. Once an animal is placed in our care it is our responsibility to make sure it is going back to the rightful owner if one can be located. We don’t run into an ownership issue very often but if we do there are extra steps we must take. We aren’t doing it for the money (we do not make money on adoptions.) We are also not trying to steal dogs. There is a large enough supply of stray dogs we have no reason to keep animals that have rightful owners. Thank you for understanding!

03/07/2024

The new page is up and running again!
