Safe Housing Program

Started in 2002 to address the link between domestic violence and animal abuse.

It is an unfortunate fact that domestic violence and animal abuse often coincide. Sometimes, these occur simultaneously and in some instances, animal abuse is the method of spousal control and violence. As difficult as it is for a person to leave a violent relationship and enter a shelter, the decision can be made more painful when a beloved pet is left behind. Some people will choose to stay with the abuser and the pet rather than seek necessary shelter. Similarly, people who have lost their homes may choose to stay in a car or on the streets because they are unable to keep their pets otherwise. At the Mario Pastega House, some people have declined services and delayed medical treatment because they did not have care for their pets. Others drove hours each day to continue caring for their pets.


Expanded in 2010 to address crisis in its many forms and serve more people and pets in need.

The Safe Housing Program serves the animal companions of people seeking assistance or receiving aid from local social service organizations. This program is designed to enable people to get the assistance they need in a crisis situation without worrying about the care of their pets.


Safe Housing is a client referral program serving the clients of:



Rehoming Your Pet

Rehoming a pet is never an easy choice. Heartland Humane Shelter & Care is here to support you every step of the way.


We understand that sometimes families face circumstances where surrendering a pet feels like the only option. Unexpected life changes such as illness, the loss of a loved one, or an unplanned move can make it difficult to continue providing care. In other cases, challenges with a pet's behavior or needs may feel overwhelming.


Before making a final decision, we encourage you to explore all available alternatives. Many common concerns, like chewing, excessive barking, furniture scratching, house soiling, or even allergies, can be managed with the right guidance and support. Heartland Humane Shelter & Care can connect you with behavioral advice, medical car, and other resources that may help you keep your pet in your home.


Emergency Surrenders

Heartland Humane Shelter & Care is here to support community members during times of crisis or emergency. Same-day emergency intakes are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. When possible, please complete an intake request form to help expedite the process. For immediate assistance, contact the shelter at 541-757-9000 ext. 0.


Don't forget! Post your pet on Rehome while you are awaiting your intake appointment. Rehoming Your Pet - Rehome by Adopt-a-Pet.com


Notice: Due to a high volume of intake request appointments we are currently booking out 14 days or more. Our team reviews every request and will contact you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.


Working Cat Program

Do you have a barn, shop, or other outbuilding? Our shelter frequently works with cats that are not suitable to be traditional pets. These cats would love the opportunity to earn their keep by controlling rodent populations and patrolling your barn, farm, or rural/industrial property!


Please note: This life-saving diversion program is for cats that are already part of the shelter system. We are not able to intake feral or semi-feral cats specifically for this program. If you have such a cat on your property, please contact staff to discuss our Trap, Neuter, and Return (TNR) program.

Before adoption, working cats are:

  • spayed/neutered
  • microchipped
  • ear-tipped
  • vaccinated (FVRCP and rabies)
  • dewormed

Things to Know:

  • Barn cats require a consistent source of food and fresh water as well as shelter where they can keep out of the elements and escape predators.
  • Find information on settling your working cat into their new home here
