Important updates from Carol, our President:

We have a monthly volunteer orientation class for all volunteers and those wanting to become.  Volunteer packets with important info will be given to each person in the class.  Carol Vencill, WCHS president, will be conducting the volunteer orientation.

Volunteer Orientation classes will begin again in January.  In the meantime, to learn more, you can view and download a summary of our standard Volunteer Orientation info as a PDF document.

Help us trap feral cats and keep the kitty population down!  We need a volunteer or two to help trap and transport feral cats, so they can be spayed.  This is the best way to prevent unwanted kittens from ending up in shelters, or worse.

Do you have a spare Havaheart or similar humane trap that you can donate?   All our traps are in use, and there are still plenty of feral cats out there.  You can drop off your traps at the WCHS Info Center,  104 N. River Street in Enterprise.  We’re open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Have you lost your dog or cat?

  • Report it to the Sheriff’s office at 541-426-3131
  • Notify our local radio station KWVR, 541-426-4577,
  • Call Mary, Chair of the WCHS Dog Committee, at 541-426-4170
  • Call the local veterinarian offices:
    • Double Arrow:  541-426-4470
    • Enterprise Animal Hospital:  541-426-3331

Remember:  A lost pet wearing a collar with a name and phone number has a much better chance of being returned to its home.  Microchipping is a safe procedure. Pets react to insertion of a microchip about the same as they would to a typical vaccination.  Microchipping will help to identify your pet no matter where it is found. Please see your veterinarian about microchipping your cat or dog.

Stop by and Visit our Wonderful Info Center!

It has been an incredible opportunity to work with the community since we’ve been so visible.  Together we have stepped up the Trap/Neuter/Release program since it began over 30 years ago.  More lost “owners” have been reunited with their pets, and more people have come forward to volunteer, just to name a few wonderful things that have come our way since the Info Center opened in October 2014.  We are continuing our efforts to establish a sanctuary in the future.

The Center is open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., except holidays.  Trudy Meyers, our volunteer coordinator, has set up a schedule which is posted at the Center.  All volunteers are asked to pick dates and times to work at the Center. Each volunteer will be partnered with an experienced volunteer to start.  Without volunteers, there is no Wallowa County Humane Society.  The animals and the people of Wallowa County will be helped by our efforts.

Call Carol, 541-263-0336, or Trudy, 541-432-9755, to vounteer.  We invite you to stop by and visit the Center to see the changes and progress we’re making as we go forward. 

The WCHS Information Center is located at 104 N. River Street in Enterprise.

5 million unwanted animals end up in shelters every year.  You can help reduce this number by spaying or neutering your pet.  Visit our Programs page for more info.  We also offer a voucher for $10 off spay or neuter.  Conditions apply.
