You may have also seen advertising on TriMet buses, SOCIETY HUMANE OREGON the display at the Rose Festival and new merchandise in the pet supply store at the HANDY NUMBERS: shelter. All over the community we have been spreading the word about our long, historic legacy. Adoptions 503.285.7722, ext. 262 One of the things I consistently hear from people is “Wow, I had no idea OHS has been Become A Supporter around that long.” It’s wonderful to see the pride that people feel, knowing their state 503.416.5024 has been a pioneer in animal welfare and continues to be a national leader because of the work of OHS. Behavior Help Line 503.416.2983 This fall marks a special time in our 150-year history. Our first book, “Pioneering Bring in a Pet Compassion,” was recently released and is available at OHS and Powell's Books, 503.285.7722, ext. 211 online and in-store. It is a beautiful coffee-table-style book that brings our history to life. We are hosting a book signing and opening a special public exhibit at the Oregon Corporate Relations Historical Society this month as we lead up to our official anniversary of Nov. 17, 1868. 503.416.7084 It was on this day, 150 years ago, that twelve prominent Portland citizens attended the Estate Giving first meeting of the humane movement led by Dr. Thomas Lamb Eliot. Read about the 503.416.2988 OHS book and exhibit on page 6. Editor, OHS Magazine In this issue of the OHS Magazine, we are also marking our 150th anniversary with 503.416.2985 stories of our past and present. Make A Donation 503.802.6793 Humane education is deeply rooted in our history. Our early leaders recognized that creating a more humane society began with educating children about compassion and Spay/Neuter Assistance kindness. Today, humane education has evolved to include interactive classroom visits, 503.802.6755 summer camps, after-school programs and annual contests that celebrate children’s Volunteer Program relationships with pets. Read about this and meet one of our canine educators on page 8. 503.285.7722, ext. 204 Advocating for strong animal protection laws has always been a priority for OHS. Oregon is now one of the safest places in the country for animals. But this took many decades of tenacity and hard work. Learn about the important legislative milestones in our history and see where today’s gubernatorial candidates stand on animal welfare issues on page 10. When I reflect on OHS’s long history, I often come back to a familiar theme—the drive to do more. While we honor and celebrate our accomplishments, we never rest on our laurels. Since 1868, our leaders and staff have always asked what more can be done, what does the community need, and what else can we do to save lives and prevent suffering? I ask myself these questions every day. I’m proud of OHS’s place in history and I hope you—our supporters who make this work possible—are too. Sharon Harmon President and CEO FALL 2018 3 OHS NEWS from OHS OREGON HUMANE SOCIETY ASSISTS WITH KLAMATH COUNTY NEGLECT CASE In mid-June, OHS took in 17 dogs from an ongoing animal neglect case in Southern Oregon. Klamath County Animal Control had been caring for the dogs and reached out to OHS for assistance. The case began in late 2017 when a Klamath County man was charged with multiple felony crimes after more than 30 animals OREGON HUMANE SOCIETY HUMANE OREGON were seized from his property, in a joint operation by Klamath County Animal Control and the Oregon Humane Society. The dogs are being housed in OHS’s off-site rescue facility where they are receiving daily care from specially-trained staff and volunteers, plus behavioral assessments and any needed training. The dogs are not available for adoption at this time. The dogs were transferred from Klamath County Animal Control in June. HELPING THE PETS AND PEOPLE OF PUERTO RICO A team from the Oregon Humane Society recently traveled to Puerto Rico to help care for pets as part of Spayathon for Puerto Rico. The high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter initiative has a goal of altering more than 20,000 dogs and cats in underserved areas—which is expected to prevent 250,000 unwanted births. For OHS veterinarian Dr. Margaret Wixson, it was her first time volunteering in a field clinic. “I always wanted to do something like this,” says Dr. Wixson. “It was a great opportunity to represent OHS and help fellow Americans.” Two other members of the OHS medical team—vet tech Kerry Moore and vet assistant Hailey Murutes—ac- companied Dr. Wixson and worked side by side with veterinary professionals from the U.S., Mexico and Brazil. Local students from the veterinary college also assisted. After surgery, clients cared for their pets in a special section of the gymnasium called “the beach.” “The people in Puerto Rico have been through so much,” says Kerry. “It was nice to be able to provide something for their community.” In just seven days, 2,105 spay/neuters were done. Many pets also received vaccines, and flea and tick treatment. “We felt really accomplished,” says Kerry. The community’s gratitude and kindness carried them through some of the toughest moments of the week. “People were constantly bringing us food and thanking us,” says Dr. Wixson. Even at the local store, they were treated like celebrities. “You could feel the gratitude everywhere,” adds Kerry. Four rounds of clinics are scheduled all over Puerto Rico between FALL 2018 June 2018 and May 2019. OHS has made an ongoing commitment to Hailey, Kerry and Dr. Wixson with the surgery tally. this project and expects to send a team to each of the clinics. 4 OHS A RECORD KITTEN SEASON AT OHS We’re not kitten around! It’s been a very busy summer at OHS. Through expanded partnerships with shelters and rescue groups around Oregon and throughout the region, OHS has received more than 1,500 kittens in 2018. In August, OHS also provided a lifeline for kittens from Los Angeles. Shelters in LA County were experiencing a huge influx of kittens— more than 100 per day in some areas. Nearby wildfires and a number of hoarding cases were pushing things to the breaking point. Jackson SOCIETY HUMANE OREGON Galaxy, star and Executive Producer of the television show My Cat from Hell on Animal Planet, reached out as part of his Operation Homeward Bound national initiative.

    Metro Councilor Tanya Collier District 9, 1986 to 1993 Oral History ca. 1993 Tanya Collier Metro Councilor, District 9 1986 – 1993 Tanya Collier was born in Tulare, California in 1946, and moved to Portland, Oregon with her family in 1950, where she attended a number of public grade schools, including West Gresham, Lane, Kelly, Binnsmead, and Kellogg, before enrolling in St. Anthony’s Catholic School.
