EnglishWhat is Blue Mountain Humane Association?
Updated
Blue Mountain Humane Association (bmhumane.org) is a high-save 501(c)(3) non-profit animal shelter and rescue organization based in Union County, Oregon, and serving surrounding areas. It is dedicated to saving animals' lives and placing them into new, loving homes. If you are looking for a shelter to adopt from, to report a stray or lost pet, or to support through donations or newsletters, this organization is set up for exactly those purposes.
What "high-save" means here
The organization describes itself as a high-save facility. In practice, that means:
- It commits to a safe, compassionate, humane environment for all animals in its care.
- It does not euthanize except in the most dire circumstances, as determined by a licensed veterinarian or public safety.
- The high-save approach extends to breeds traditionally viewed as "difficult" or "violent" — the stated reasoning being that all animals deserve a second chance at a happy life free of pain, discomfort, and despair.
This matters if you are deciding whether to surrender, adopt, or volunteer: the shelter's stated default is to keep animals alive and move them toward placement rather than to euthanize for space or convenience.

If you have lost or found a pet
The site directs people dealing with stray or lost pets to two channels:
- Check the organization's Facebook page.
- Call 541-963-0807.
The Facebook page is listed first, so it is worth checking there before or alongside calling, since posts about found animals often appear there.
How to stay informed or get involved
The site offers a newsletter signup covering saves, events, fundraising, and more. The organization also states it greatly appreciates ongoing support of its mission, which points to donations and participation as the main ways to help.
Who this organization is for
- Adopters looking for a shelter that prioritizes placement over euthanasia.
- People in Union County and surrounding areas who have lost a pet or found a stray.
- Supporters who want to donate, follow events, or subscribe to updates.
- Partner organizations in the Pacific Northwest interested in rescue collaboration.
If your interest is outside Union County, Oregon, or the surrounding region, the partnership network (including the Oregon Humane Society) may still be a useful starting point, but the direct services described are local.
