Oregon really is an oasis for animals who are in need of rescuing. Maybe it’s the caring nature of the people in the state. Maybe it’s all the lush, green space that affords those with charitable hearts to open these special places that tend to the needs of the most vulnerable animals on the planet. Check out some of these spots here.
