I asked if they were the ASPCA and they said no We are the Humane Society of Oregon. So you have no idea who they are. If it is alocal shelter they would go by Deschutes County animal control. I believe this is true. Lorry can you help me out here?

I don't know if your local HS is a good one or not, but many Local HSs are now saying "we are your LOCAL Humane Society, we are NOT Humane Society of the United States" I don't do that through PetSmart, simply because I donate directly to the local rescues, etc. Please continue to donate to your local shelters, rescues, etc., check them out to see who they are and what they do. The HSUS does not own, operate or contribute to any local Humane Society.
