Saving Grace Pet Adoption Center

In 2001, a group of concerned, passionate people knew that the animals of Douglas County needed and deserved the very best care. After a year of working through details, Saving Grace was deeded the land from Douglas County in June 2002 and took over shelter operations from the County in July. Since that time, Saving Grace has saved the lives of over 30,000 animals! From the beginning, Saving Grace’s focus was on adoptions and providing quality care. An Animal Healthy Advisory Committee of local veterinarians was formed to provide guidance on populations, practices for disease control and vaccination protocols. The organization actively promoted spay/neuter, and in 2007 opened the onsite spay/neuter clinic. Since that time, Saving Grace has performed over 7,300 surgeries.

Saving Grace, Inc. is a 501(c)3 private, non-profit organization dedicated to the direct care of homeless, abandoned or neglected animals in Douglas County, Oregon. Our mission is to provide temporary refuge, basic veterinary care and a pathway home for companion animals who are homeless in Douglas County so that we may create a more humane community. We are the county’s only full-service open-admission animal shelter, providing shelter, food and medical care to thousands of animals each year.​ Beyond the basics, each animal receives compassionate care from our staff and volunteers while they wait to be reunited with their families or to find a new home. Warm blankets, toys and treats, time spent socializing with caring people; all are a part of the animals’ experience at Saving Grace. We look forward to growing along with our community and being able to offer more programs geared towards keeping pets and their people together. With your help, we can make Douglas County a more humane place for people and pets.
