Rogue Valley Humane Society

We are exactly like you! Shelter Friends is an all-volunteer organization that noticed a need in our community and stepped up to fill it. We began with four people gathering around a kitchen table and have grown to include dozens of volunteers who assist our local shelter animals.

The Animal Control Division is overseen by the Josephine County Sheriff's Office. The Animal Control Division enforces domestic animal licensing and control rules and state statutes.

Our rescue operates entirely from foster homes, thus there is no place where people can come to see the animals.

The Oregon county of Josephine is home to the open-admissions Josephine County Animal Shelter. Our goal is to safeguard the welfare and security of both dogs and people in our neighborhood.
