Oregon Coast Humane Society

Animal shelter in Florence, OR

The Oregon Coast Humane Society, located in Florence, Oregon, is a no-kill shelter with intake limited to our housing capacity serving the animal welfare needs in Western Lane County. Comprised of volunteers and a committed professional staff, we are dedicated to assisting homeless and/or abused companion animals in our area. We also seek to educate people about animal-related issues such as cruelty and pet overpopulation.
Originally known as the Florence Area Humane Society (FAHS), Oregon Coast Humane Society was founded in 1992 when a group of concerned animal advocates met to see what they could do to help the companion animals of the area. The shelter was completed and the first animals were moved from foster homes in August of 1996. In the next few years, changes were made to accommodate the increasing homeless pet population. The cattery was enlarged to improve the isolation and stray facilities, kitten and puppy nurseries were added to the second floor, and storage space was converted into a staff/meeting rooms, as well as an additional office. In the spring of 2016, the original name was changed from Florence Area Humane Society to Oregon Coast Humane Society to reflect scope of the area serviced by our shelter. This shelter is the only facility administering to the needs of the homeless cats and dogs within a 60 mile radius of its Florence location.

Additional adoption info

OCHS strives to place each animal in a home where the pet can thrive and have a life long relationship with their family. If there is an animal you are interested in adopting, you must complete an adoption application. Applications can be submitted online or in person at the shelter. Each application is reviewed to determine if the home is suitable for the individual pet’s needs. Arrangements will need to be made for you to meet the animal in person before your application can be completely approved. Some of our animals are in foster homes or are out of the facility for the day, please call ahead to ensure the animal is onsite for your visit. If there are any other dogs living in the home, a meet and greet with the new dog will be required.

In the case of multiple applications being submitted for the same animal, the staff will choose the home that best fits the needs of the animal.
Submitting an application for an animal is not a guarantee of placement.
All adopters must be at least 18 years of age and provide a photo ID.
If you rent your home, landlord approval is required.
We reserve the right to perform a home visit prior to approval.
