According to OHS, adult pets often get overlooked in the height of kitten season and during the summer months in general.
'Our Portland and Salem campuses are experiencing an increase in requests to bring animals in,' said Director of Adoptions Eleena Fikhman. 'But helping more pets is only possible when loving adopters step up to help.'
They add adopters for adult cats are most needed in Salem and for adult dogs in Portland, noting this is a 'particularly tough time' for large dogs who have a more difficult time finding a home.

'For every pet who leaves one of our shelters with a loving family, a kennel is freed up so we can help the next animal in need,' Fikhman said. 'Plus, there are so many advantages to adopting an adult cat or dog. They have so much love to give and make wonderful companions.'
The adoption special runs Thursday, July 18 through Sunday, July, 20. You can view available pets here.
Each adoption includes up-to-date vaccines, spaying or neutering, a microchip, as well as a free exam at OHS' Community Veterinary Hospital in Portland and at participating clinics in Salem.
Both OHS' Portland and Salem campuses are open all week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

2 more dogs move into Allegheny County Jail after first TAILS training program participant was adopted
Two more dogs have moved into the Allegheny County Jail after the first participant of the TAILS training program found her forever home. Through the Teaching Animals and Incarcerated Lifelong Skills program, women at the Allegheny County Jail trained Ethel, a 2-year-old, 38-pound mixed-breed dog, to learn basic skills that would increase her adoptability and prepare her for a permanent loving home. Ethel, now named Ellie, was adopted by a local family last month after about a month in the program. Next up: Niko the husky and Max, a small curly-haired mixed breed. "Animal Friends is thrilled that we currently have two shelter dogs residing at ACJ," Katie Vecchi, Animal Friends' chief shelter officer, said in a press release. "With the success of Ethel/Ellie, we knew that any dog who was transferred into the program would be shown endless compassion and dedication." Niko, a stray who arrived at Animal Friends underweight, got to the jail on July 15. He brought plenty of energy, greeting correctional officers in the visitor's lobby with leaps and licks. So far, he's already gained three pounds. Max showed up shortly after Niko. The county said all the women on the pod fell in love with Max, who couldn't wait to get into the gym and check everything out. "The two dogs there now are little more high energy (than Ellie) and need help with their basic manners," said Vecchi. "We are confident that the handlers at ACJ will help to prepare them for their new homes."

My Mom Dropped A Shocking Family Secret In My Lap. I Never Looked At My Father The Same Way Again.
'There's something I have to tell you,' my mother said in a tone that suggested a life-changing reveal was coming my way at Applebee's. 'I'm adopted?' I asked. At 22, I knew my dark coloring had long been a point of discomfort for my parents, both blond with light eyes. 'Who does she look like...?' people would ask, fishing for a story. 'Joy looks like Joy,' my mother used to say. 'You're not adopted,' she said now. 'Daddy's not my real father?' I guessed. It had never occurred to me before that only one of them wasn't my biological parent, but the look on my mother's face told me the answer was yes before she said the word. I always knew my parents tried to have a baby for five years, and that my mother's beloved gynecologist helped her conceive me, their only child. What I only learned that night was how her doctor helped — by inseminating my mother with donated sperm. 'The doctor told me to lie on my back for 10 minutes after — I insisted on lying there for an hour, just to be sure,' my mother said proudly. All she knew about the donor's identity was that he was a medical student. Doctor's office fertilizations like this were done for heterosexual married couples only in the 1970s, with the clear understanding that no one — including their child ― would ever have to know. My father had gone along with this grudgingly. 'He did it for me,' my mother said, reaching for my hand across the table at the restaurant. 'So I could have you.' She explained that my father would have been fine letting nature take its course — or not. But my mother was desperate for a baby. This was why she was telling me now, with my dad's approval. He and I weren't getting along, and she wanted me to see the sacrifice he had made for her — for us. Suddenly the emotional distance I had often felt with my dad made sense. I remembered going out with him alone only a few times when I was a little kid. He let me sit in the front seat of the car and drink orange soda from a can — things my mother never allowed. But our times together felt out of sync. I was once so excited to paint my bedroom dresser with my father in the basement, only to find that he had finished by the time I found the perfect outfit for the project. I was jealous of the way my little cousins raced into their dad's arms when he came home. My dad and I were like coworkers who both reported to my mom — cordial, but in quiet competition to be her favorite. 'Where is he when I need him?' my mother used to yell when something went wrong and my father was out, as he often was. But I liked it better when he wasn't around. His arrival home brought his unhappiness into the house, which I didn't know how to manage. With my mother, whose moods could also be unpredictable, I knew exactly how to jolly her up: by doing humorous impressions of people we both knew, or playing with her hair, or showing her some of my art. I didn't really know how to make my dad happy, and not being able to figure it out made me feel like a failure. I wondered now if this lack of biological connection was why he didn't look at me the way a father looked at a beloved daughter ― because he didn't see himself reflected back? I could never bring myself to ask. My dad and I talked about the details of my conception only twice, once right after my mother's big reveal, when I wanted to know if this was something he thought about often (it was), and if it caused him pain (it did). The second time was 20 years later, when I told him about finding my donor siblings. In the early 2000s, I had heard about the Donor Sibling Registry, started by a mother and the son she had conceived using a sperm donor. I joined because I'd recently been on the subway sitting across from someone I thought looked so much like me that I almost introduced myself. Could she have been a half-sibling? Then at the dentist's office, a hygienist said there was another patient who resembled me so closely — even our dental X-rays looked alike — that she just assumed this person was my sister. 'Oh no,' I had told her. 'I'm an only child.' But was I? Nothing came of my profile on the Donor Sibling Registry until 10 years later, when I received a Facebook message from a man who thought he might be my half-brother. By that time, genetic testing kits were readily available. I ordered one. The results revealed this man was not my half-sibling, but two other people were. My half-brother, half-sister and I met, and the connection I felt sent me on a high. I decided to tell my parents. They did not share my enthusiasm. My father made it clear he didn't want me to have a public relationship with these new family members. He swore it wasn't because revealing this to our relatives and friends would make the truth about my conception clear to everyone, but of course that was the reason. He yelled. I held my ground. I felt like I had lived my life playing peacemaker and good girl — the roles in our family that my parents demanded of me — and now here was a kin relationship that could be all mine. Later that day, my dad called back to say he was sorry. It is the only time I remember ever receiving an apology from him. He admitted what was happening was difficult, but he said he was happy for me. I told my father I didn't have any interest in finding the identity of my sperm donor, and that was true. My half-brother felt differently, though, and searching through the web of connections our genetic testing revealed, he found the name of our biological father, who turned out to be a retired doctor. I saw a few Facebook photos of him, and he appeared to me to be someone who liked to hike and fish. I was indoorsy — like the dad who raised me ― so I didn't inherit that. Instead, I got the retired doctor's angular jaw and a smile that tilted slightly higher on one side, suggesting we were up to something. My half-brother reached out to see if our donor would like to meet, but he declined. I understood. Our half-sibling group has since grown from three to 10, and there are probably more of us out there. By that point, our biological father was in his 80s, with children and likely grandchildren. I didn't imagine he wanted the risk of getting to know who-knows-how-many additional progeny. What if we wanted support — emotional or financial? I didn't want anything from him other than an answer to one question: Why did you do it? I wondered if it was it to help couples have children, to feel virile, to make some extra money — I believe sperm donors were paid for their contributions ― or something else. But I could live with not knowing the answer because it was only thanks to my donor that I was living at all. One man was responsible for the beginning of my life, and another for everything that came after. As I got older, I came to see that my father didn't really look to me to make him happy, the way my mother did. He wanted to take care of me, not the other way around. This was why we were sometimes at odds — we both felt more comfortable giving support than receiving it. My mom and I used to joke about 'The Father Book of Knowledge,' since he seemed to know everything about anything. But I truly trusted his advice over any doctor or expert. When I went into labor with my son and was terrified, my father drove four hours nonstop to hold my hand. In his hands, I felt safe. My mother was there for chats about family and friends and the day-to-day stuff of life, but my dad was always the first person I called whenever something went really right — or really wrong. Where was he when I needed him? Always a phone call away. I spent much of my youth concentrating on the distance between my father and me. As I got older, I tried to focus on what brought us together. I'd never been a daddy's girl, but I had grown into a woman who loved her dad. Six years ago, my son and I came upon a newborn bunny under a bush that seemed to have been abandoned. We picked it up and took it home. 'You did what?' my father said, when I called to ask for his advice. 'It would have been better off if you left it there.' I hoped he was wrong, but he was rarely wrong. I put the tiny rabbit on a heating pad like he said to do, but it didn't live for longer than an hour. 'Was it our fault?' my son asked. 'No, baby,' I said, even though I wasn't sure. 'And this way he died with us, in a warm place. And not alone. He didn't suffer.' My dad didn't suffer either, when he died one week later without any warning. At least I hope he didn't. The heart attack was very fast. At least I hope it was. I only just now played the last voicemail message he ever left me. 'This is the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Rabbits,' he said in his joking voice. 'We hear there is a report of bunny abuse... I'm just kidding, Joy Anne. You did the best you could.' I tried. So did he. My mother told me the truth about my conception to help me appreciate my dad more, and it did. My real father didn't love me because I was his biological child. He loved me in spite of the fact that I wasn't. Joy Peskin is a writer with work published in Salon, Glamour, Parents Magazine, Publishers Weekly and Lilith.

Pets are being abandoned, surrendered amid Trump's immigration crackdown
Daymi Blain dreads the sound of her phone. It rings at all hours now — and every time, she braces for the voice on the other end. A person calling because their relative was taken in an immigration raid, leaving several cats behind. A neighbor reporting dogs wandering the street after their family vanished overnight. A trembling voice begging her to take in a pet because its owner is leaving the country and can't bring it. 'This is all we're getting now: pets with deported and detained owners. Nobody calls for anything else,' said Blain, who runs the South Florida-based Adopt and Save a Life Rescue Mission. 'I don't know what's going to happen with all this, but I can tell you that the animals are the ones paying the price.' From California to Tennessee, the effects of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown have reached a place most wouldn't think to look: the kennels of overcrowded animal shelters. Animal welfare groups across the country say they're fielding a surge of calls about pets left behind when their owners are detained or deported, or self-deport in fear. That heightened need is colliding with a shelter system already stretched thin by post-pandemic overcrowding, chronic staffing shortages and plummeting adoptions — leading to longer stays for animals, difficult choices about space and growing fears that more pets could be euthanized simply because there's nowhere for them to go. 'All rescues like us plan for disasters,' said Jean Harrison of the Nashville-based Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. 'I plan for floods. I plan for the tornado and hurricane seasons coming up. It did not cross my mind that I needed to be prepared for an onslaught of displaced pets from deported immigrants.' In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 'does NOT impound property.' The agency did not respond to questions seeking clarification. The dogs that have become collateral damage in the raids include Lucero, a young, mixed‑breed dog abandoned near a gas station after her trucker owner was suddenly detained; Lolita and Bruno, a German shepherd pair with six puppies, all surrendered by a man facing deportation after 25 years in the United States; and Oso, a fluffy doodle whose family fled in fear of immigration authorities. It's not clear how many animals have been displaced. No government agency keeps track, and rescuers said families are sometimes afraid to disclose that immigration was the reason for their surrender. Other times, the animals were found roaming neighborhoods or abandoned in their homes, with little information about what happened to their owners. More than 56,800 people were in ICE custody as of July 13, according to Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse data. It's unclear how many are pet owners. But surges in abandoned or surrendered animals appear to overlap with areas where immigration enforcement has been intense. Blain said her shelter in Florida — which experienced the largest single-state immigration operation in history this year — has absorbed at least 19 dogs, 12 cats, 11 roosters and a menagerie of rabbits, guinea pigs and pigeons since the spring. In California, a focal point of the immigration crackdown, the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control said 15 dogs had been relinquished since June because of deportations. In New York, Animal Care Centers of New York City — which recently suspended intake due to capacity issues — said it has handled four immigration-related cases this year. And in Tennessee, Harrison has watched what she calls three distinct 'waves' of animals flood her kennels. The first came in the spring, when Venezuelan families began surrendering pets after the Trump administration rolled back their parole and protections from deportation. The second — and largest — hit in May, when ICE conducted sweeping raids. The final wave has been the aftermath: pets left in empty homes, often unfed and unnoticed for weeks. In one case, rescuers found two Great Pyrenees so skeletal that 'the heaviest one weighed just 49 pounds — dogs that should weigh 110,' Harrison said. 'They had some water, but no food. Nobody knew they were there.' Other shelters said they're seeing the same trend: strays suddenly roaming neighborhoods, often purebreds or young puppies that wouldn't typically end up in the system. 'We're taking in dogs you don't usually see at shelters — Yorkies, Frenchies — because these families are just gone,' said Heydi Acuna of the Tampa-based Mercy Full Project, which has worked with some 25 immigration‑related cases in recent months, amounting to at least 100 animals. The rescue organizations said they are operating far beyond capacity, part of a patchwork system strained by too many animals and not nearly enough resources. Even before the surge in immigration-related pet abandonment, higher costs of living and rising veterinary costs have meant more surrenders and fewer adoptions in recent years, said Kara Starzyk, shelter manager at Abandoned Pet Rescue in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 'We're on the verge — actually past the verge. It's already collapsed,' she said. 'I mean, there's just no space for all these animals.' The shelters that once served as lifelines are overwhelmed, too. In the Northeast, facilities that used to absorb animals from the overcrowded South — helping stave off euthanasia — now find themselves in crisis. 'We have crates set up in hallways and offices everywhere we can,' said Katy Hansen, of New York City's Animal Care Centers. 'And the whole country is like this.' With no government aid or plan for the animals' long-term care, shelters said they've been forced to take matters into their own hands. Some, like Harrison's, have even rewritten their mission statements. Once devoted exclusively to rehoming oversize, fluffy breeds, her group now makes space for any immigrant's dog. Others have shifted almost entirely to handling immigration-related cases. Rescue directors described activating their volunteer networks, working phones late into the night and scrambling to place animals in foster homes before they run out of room. In Fort Lauderdale, that scramble led to Lola — a 6‑year‑old black lab mix — being surrendered by her Cameroonian owner after the Trump administration canceled temporary protected status for his country. Faced with the loss of his legal footing in the U.S., he made the wrenching decision to leave Lola with Abandoned Pet Rescue. Vijay Ramdeen, a 39-year-old chemistry professor, adopted her in June. Lola's story struck a personal chord with him. His own parents had immigrated from the Caribbean, and he couldn't stop thinking about the man who'd been forced to say goodbye. 'I'm sure he wonders every day where she is, if she's okay,' Ramdeen said. 'I just wish I could tell him she's safe. She's loved.' Now, Lola spends her days following Ramdeen around his condo, curling up by his feet and chasing her favorite ball across the balcony at night.
