Central Oregon Animal Friends D.B.A.
Three Rivers Humane Society
is a Madras, Oregon based 501c(3) nonprofit established in October 2012. This
organization was born of a desire to create a better life for the animals of Central
Oregon and to do our part to help put an end to pet overpopulation in our area. In
November 2013 COAF was awarded the contract to operate Jefferson County
Kennels and as an organization, we now take on a new role in our community.
With this change came a new name, Three Rivers Humane Society reflecting the
three rivers of Jefferson County; the Deschutes, the Metolius, and the Crooked
Rivers. Our goals for the shelter have been the highest quality care of the animals,
a healthy financial fitness, building strong community relationships, and
facilitating a low cost spay/neuter program for Jefferson County. It has been hard
work but we love being rewarded by the faces of the 4 footed residents!
Our Mission
is committed to promoting healthy, safe and lifelong relationships between people
and their pets through sustainable programs of education, adoption and spay/
neutering. We will endeavor to fight for the abused and abandoned, and foster a
community where no companion animal will be killed because it is homeless.
Our Vision
for a successful progressive humane animal program is to foster a community of
reciprocity with veterinarians, county animal control agencies, pet owners, and
potential adopters, with a common commitment to:
Create an environment of compassionate and respectful treatment of companion
animals.
Work toward the goal of putting an end to pet overpopulation through education
and community spay/neuter programs.
Promote an atmosphere where euthanizing healthy, adoptable animals is not
acceptable.
Management Philosophy
We shall provide shelter and care for animals in need.
We shall provide programs and services which enhance the bond between
animals and people.
We shall be advocates for animals... speaking for those who cannot speak for
themselves.
We are committed to Three Rivers Humane Society’s mission and goals.
We strive to lead by example, promoting trust and respect while supporting and
empowering staff.
We are coaches developing the diverse skills of individuals in an environment
which fosters open communication.
We expect all staff to be responsible and accountable. Successes and mistakes
are opportunities to learn and grow.
We advocate effective use of our resources and humane care of animals.

Board of Directors
Paul Viemeister – Board President
Paul has been an educator for 38 years and counting. He has a pas-
sion for community service through giving back to the community
he serves, both human and animal. As a Kiwanian and Key Club ad-
visor, his club was awarded the Compassionate Community Service
Award for the 2013. As President of Central Oregon Animal
Friends, Paul understands the needs of Three Rivers Humane Socie-
ty’s in caring for the countless homeless pets in Jefferson County.
Having rescue dogs and cats of his own gives him the drive and per-
spective to support what the current director’s vision is for the
health and welfare of homeless and future adopted dogs.
Ray Swift – Board Vice President
Simply put, I have been an animal lover since birth. Growing up,
much to my parents objection, I would bring home hurt or stray
reptiles, birds, cats and dogs. Finally I got a cat and soon after, my
first dog. Haven’t let up yet, and most likely never will. I Found
the few years volunteering at a shelter to be one of most rewarding
and emotional experiences of my life. I hope to continue to be a
member or employee of an organization that promotes responsible
animal care for a long time to come.
Sheila Dooley – Secretary/Treasurer
Sheila recently retired as Library Director after 40 years at The
Dalles-Wasco County Library. She volunteered for two other animal
shelters previously fostering 87 dogs over a 12 year period, serving
as a board member, and fundraising. She plans to help Three Rivers
Humane Society and the new building project through grant
writing, fundraising, and volunteering.
Shannon Morgan – Director
I have been an R.N. for more than thirty years in a variety of set-
tings. My earliest memories are of family animals and my love and
friendships with dogs, especially, have been a central part of my
life. (I always say that I like dogs more than I like people, but, since
dogs don’t read, maybe I shouldn’t put this on paper. . .) Anyway, I
grew up rescuing cats and dogs and have been a foster person, both
formally and informally, for dogs for many years. There is little in
this life that is more satisfying to me than finding a great home for
a dog who doesn’t have one! I am pleased to be on the board of Three
Rivers Humane Society and to help in any way that I can.

2015 Highlights
New Play Yard for the Dogs!
Thanks to the generosity of The Petfinder
Foundation and their Bissell Rescue U Grant,
October of 2015 signaled the start of our project
to construct a new 14500 sf play yard. Thank
you to Jeff at Ag West for his personal attention
to this project and the special package pricing to
make the materials come in at budget. Thank
you to the staff and inmates of the Deer Ridge
Correctional Institute for a week of hard work
building the fence and gate, you are awesome! The dogs LOVE their new
play yard.
Petco Grant for New Kennels!
Petco Foundation really came through for Three
Rivers Humane Society in 2015. In September the
Petco Foundation became the Presenting Sponsor
for our Bark In The Park fundraiser, a dog walk
and canine carnival. In July we applied for
$27,000 to replace the old and crumbling indoor
kennels in the existing building. In December,
Petco Foundation notified us they approved our
grant request in the amount of $30,000 with the
additional money to help cover the demo and construction. We have
purchased new stainless steel sShore-line kennels. This project should be completed by mid
February.
Three Rivers Humane Society Chosen as a
Lowes Heroes Organization!
TRHS was contacted by Lowes Home Improvement in Redmond Oregon
at the end of August. They informed us we were chosen by the
employees for Lowes 2015 Hero Award. They asked us what we needed
and we suggested a shed for our trainer
to have as a space to perform
evaluations and training for the dogs in
our care. They approved our request and
donated a 12x8 wood shed! The
employees built and painted the shed at
the store and delivered it to us in September. Getting it off the
flatbed looked to be difficult but their driver did an excellent job
taking it off the truck and positioning it exactly where we needed
it. Thank you to the employees of Lowes for this wonderful gift!

2015 Adoption Highlights
Petey
Petey, a 10 year old poodle mix, came to us as a Jefferson County stray and was
never claimed by an owner. His hair was severely matted and dirty, and he was
not interested in getting to know us at all. He growled, barked, and lunged
whenever we came close. He had to be muzzled to be washed and shaved. He
snapped at us when we needed to pick him up, and actually connected with our skin on a few
occasions. For weeks, we spoke kindly to Petey and always had yummy treats to share with him.
Little by little, the growling stopped. One day, his little tail wagged when staff
approached! From that point forward, Petey decided we were worth his time. He
would jump into our laps and run and play with us like a puppy! Over time,
Petey even decided that meeting new people visiting the shelter was not a bad
idea since they, too, had treats. This quirky little fellow really warmed our
hearts. One day, a young man named Graham came to meet Petey, even after
being warned of Petey’s “special needs”. He visited many times, bringing Petey
treats and clothing with his scent, and just sitting near Petey. By the time
Graham’s work schedule has lessened enough for him to adopt, Petey was
allowing Graham to pet him, hold him, and even to kiss him on the head.
There was not a dry eye at the shelter when Graham told Petey he loved him
and we watched them leave together.
Mickey
Mickey arrived at the shelter as a stray along with a female Chihuahua. It was
December 2014, and the temperature outside was 10 degrees. Both dogs were
emaciated and very scared. Mickey was wary but allowed gentle
petting. Within a short time, both dogs became friendly, happy and
out-going. The female was adopted quickly into a new home and has become a very
loved tiny “ranch dog” in Eastern Oregon. Although Mickey was featured on
Petfinder and taken to outreach events, he never received much interest. As he
stayed longer and longer, he attached himself to staff and became part of the
shelter. He was a wonderful friend to all dogs he met and except for his naughty
habit of “marking” the front office desk, he was an easy keeper that remained
overlooked. During the extreme cold temperatures this winter, Mickey went to a
foster home in Bend. Foster mom, Elizabeth, called after a week and said Mickey
was not coming back. Almost one year to the day of coming to the shelter, Mickey was home. We
miss that little boy but could not be happier he is warm, safe, and loved.
Malibu
Malibu was brought to the shelter in April by a family that found
her as a stray. They had kept her for a month but she didn’t work out
well in their home. They did not say very many positive things about
Malibu. At the shelter, she was great for dog walkers of all sizes. She
was a “go to” to help teach strong-willed puppies better manners and was great in
play groups with male dogs. She quickly became a staff favorite but had very little
interest from potential adopters. During a recent cold spell, Malibu went to Bend
Spay and Neuter Project for foster care. Rhonda, the receptionist, took Malibu
home with her for a sleep-over and that sealed the deal! Malibu fit like a glove in
her new home and the unwanted girl is now very, very wanted.
Some of the Many
2015 Adoption Photographs
The “Raise The Woof!” project was started in December 2014.
Our goal is to construct a new building where every animal
is housed indoors, protected from the extreme highs and lows
of Central Oregon weather. This building will include 32
indoor kennels in which dogs can enjoy heating, cooling, and
easy to clean surfaces. Potential adopters can meet animals
in a comfortable space and can complete adoptions in a larger
adoption area. We hope to use the old building as an
isolation area for mothers and pups, as well as a small cat
adoption center. This new building will be larger than the
current building but with conservative and thoughtful
planning, costs and maintenance will be manageable and
sustainable.

Here’s to making great
things happen in 2016!
HERE IN THIS HOUSE
I will never know the loneliness I hear in the barks of the other dogs 'out
there'.
I can sleep soundly, assured that when I wake my world will not have
changed.
I will never know hunger, or the fear of not knowing if I'll eat.
I will not shiver in the cold, or grow weary from the heat.
I will feel the sun's heat, and the rain's coolness, and be allowed to smell
all that can reach my nose.
My fur will shine, and never be dirty or matted.
Here in this house...
There will be an effort to communicate with me on my level.
I will be talked to and, even if I don't understand, I can enjoy the warmth
of the words.
I will be given a name so that I may know who I am among many.
My name will be used in joy, and I will love the sound of it!
Here in this house...
I will never be a substitute for anything I am not.
I will never be used to improve peoples' images of themselves.
I will be loved because I am who I am, not someone's idea of who I should
be.
I will never suffer for someone's anger, impatience, or stupidity.
I will be taught all the things I need to know to be loved by all.
If I do not learn my lessons well, they will look to my teacher for blame.
Here in this house...
I can trust arms that hold, hands that touch...
knowing that no matter what they do, they do it for the good of me.
If I am ill, I will be doctored.
If scared, I will be calmed.
If sad, I will be cheered.
No matter what I look like, I will be considered beautiful and thought to be
of value.
I will never be cast out because I am too old, too ill, too unruly, or not
cute enough.
My life is a responsibility, and not an afterthought.
I will learn that humans can almost, sometimes, be as kind and as fair as
dogs.
Here in this house...
I will belong.
I will be home.
