About Us

Greenhill Humane Society has been caring for animals in Lane County, Oregon since 1944. We operate the only animal shelter within the Eugene/Springfield area. Our programs include animal adoptions; reuniting lost animals with their families; disaster response; crisis care boarding in situations of domestic violence, medical emergencies, and other crisis situations; spay/neuter for free roaming, un-owned community cats; a pet pantry; on-site volunteer opportunities; foster care and humane education.

Last year, we had 5,797 total shelter and veterinary clinic intakes. We made 2,833 adoptions into loving homes and had 1,089 pet reunions for animals. In addition, we provided 1,583 cat spay/neuter surgeries to assist cat caregivers in reducing feral cat over-population, and distributed over 65 tons of pet food and supplies to families in need.

Our life-saving shelter has 51 employees including two full-time veterinarians. Each month, over 400 volunteers help provide care for the animals at the shelter or in their homes as part of our animal foster program.
