The Humane Society of the Ochocos (HSO) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded in 1995.
HSO is 100 percent funded by donations, grants and fees for services.
Because we are committed to not killing healthy or reversibly ill or injured cats and dogs, we are in
a growth and public awareness phase, and are therefore considered a "working board" (i.e., very
involved in the shelter's operational excellence, fundraising, community awareness, volunteerism,
budget management and strategic planning).
We seek talented and dedicated people who are willing to help us take the shelter and the
community to the next phase of animal welfare.
If you are interested in applying for board membership, please review these basic requirements.
You can download a Board Member Application or pick one up at the shelter or call 541-447-7178
and one will be mailed to you.
Membership Requirements
** Note: HSO Board Members are covered by the shelter’s liability insurance.
