Greenhill provides humane end of life services for terminally ill or injured animals owned by members of the community. Euthanasia is carried out by certified Euthanasia Technicians under the provisions established by Oregon law. Greenhill Humane Society, SPCA makes every effort not to euthanize any healthy animal. Animals that are dangerous, unstable, experiencing an unacceptably diminished quality of life, or found to be ill or injured beyond our capacity to treat may be euthanized using the most modern and humane method available. 

• Adoptions: Our hours of operation allow the public access to adoptable animals in the evenings and on weekends. We are open Friday through Tuesday from 11am to 6pm. We also provide the public access to pets at local community centers throughout the year by participating in Adopt-a-thon events.
• Advertising: We work with television networks KVAL, KEZI, KMTR and KLSR and radio stations KDUK 104.7, KRVM 91.9 and KZEL 96.1 to promote adoptable animals on their “Pet of the Week” segments. Pets are also featured in the Register Guard, Senior News, Cottage Grove Sentinel, Eugene Weekly and AveuneK9.com.
• Education: We believe education is an important tool for ending pet overpopulation. Through tours and presentations, we teach responsible pet care and spread the word about the importance of spaying and neutering.
• Foster Care: Each year foster families care for young, sick, injured and under-socialized animals until they are ready for adoption. So far this year, 100 families have cared for more than 600 animals! Without the loving care of these volunteers we would be unable to save so many treatable animals.
• Rescue Groups: We are fortunate to have access to many well-established rescue groups in our area. They often come to our aid when we have an animal with special needs.
• Second Chance Program: Our supporters make contributions throughout the year to our Second Chance Program, which enables us to receive animals who have run out of time at other shelters, without having to charge them receiving fees. We are able to receive dogs from LCAS (Lane County Animal Services) nearly every week through this life saving program.
• Spay and Neuter Clinic: In January 2006, we opened our own spay and neuter clinic for Greenhill animals. We now alter 100 percent of our dogs, cats and rabbits before they are placed in new homes. In addition, we work with several other non-profit rescue groups to perform their spay and neuter surgeries at reduced rates.
• Specialists: Greenhill Humane Society employs a shelter veterinarian and trained animal care staff who evaluate and care for each animal. Additionally, we are extremely fortunate to have the support of many area vets and certified pet trainers. These specialists help us with difficult cases, and allow us to place more animals each year.
• Trap-Neuter-Return: Greenhill currently works with Lane County Animal Services, the City of Eugene and the Lane County Veterinary Medical Association to provide a Trap-Neuter-Return program. Veterinarians and volunteers staff a weekly clinic on site.
• Volunteers: Our shelter would not be able to function without the tremendous efforts of our on-site volunteers. It takes the dedication and service of over 270 volunteers each month to run the shelter and care for all the animals. Every month, the animals are exercised, played with, and loved by hundreds of volunteers.

Greenhill receives no government funding. We are 100% community funded, and over 60 percent of our operating budget comes from donations from people like you, who care about the animals in our community. If you believe in Greenhill’s policies and mission, please consider supporting us.  

Responsible pet ownership plays a huge part in stopping euthanasia of homeless animals. Spaying and neutering your pet will prevent the birth of unwanted puppies and kittens. Altering your pet will improve his health and quality of life, and will make him a more affectionate and well-behaved pet.

It is important that your pet wear identification at all times. Each year hundreds of owned animals end up in shelters because they become lost and shelter workers have no way of knowing where they belong. A microchip provides a permanent identification method for your pet – even if his collar or tags fall off.
