Humane Society Staff Page is Un-Furgettable

PORTLAND, OR — The Oregon Humane Society (OHS)'s website features some of the most aww-inducing images for pet lovers. The nonprofit org's Leadership Team page includes each of the key OHS staff members photographed with a furry companion.

Executive Director Sharon Harmon poses with Bonita, who sits nicely on Ms. Harmon's lap, even as she gazes to the left frame, lost in thought about food or mice, perhaps. Ms. Harmon lives with her husband, two dogs and one cat.

Barbara Baugnon, director of marketing, poses with Islay, whose hind legs are out of frame, but the little buddy sure has good form: his front paws up, ears to the sky. Ms. Baugnon lives with her husband, three "darling Westie rescue dogs" and one cat in Portland.

Finance Director Tim Gwynn is the No. 1 pal of Waffles, a pup with great posture and a nice coat to match. Mr. Gwynn lives in Portland "with his wife, three kids, two cats, two dogs…and a partridge in a pear tree."

Odie the cat is looking pretty cool and casual hanging on the arm of Andrea Herron, human resources director at OHS. If living at home in Portland with Ms. Heron's husband and two children doesn't work out for Odie, it's easy to picture that cat kicking a Portland jukebox as the next Fonz.

One has to assume that Bentley insisted on posing with a matching bandana and ball in this photo with OHS Director of Operations Brenda King. The look is too good to be a coincidence and he's got a camera-ready look on his face. Ms. Bentley lives in Lake Oswego with her husband and "two furry soulmates."

Director of Development Gary Kish and his pooch pal Mac look like great friends if this dog's picture perfect pose is any indication. Mr. Kish has assisted "hundreds of people in creating plans for their pets."

Last, but certainly not least, is Lulu, a gorgeous pup posing with Dr. Kris Otteman, director of shelter medicine at OHS. Lulu has the style and grace of a quality dog, which makes sense as she is an OHS alum. Dr. Otteman "loves living in the Pacific Northwest and enjoys time with her family and pets."

The OHS staff has had their hands full recently as they took in 31 amazing cats from the Louisana flood. The cats came to OHS from Acadiana Animal Aid, a nonprofit shelter outside of Lafayette, Louisiana.

“Every pet that arrives at OHS from Louisiana represents a life that has been saved,” said Ms. Harmon in a statement on OHS' website. “OHS has a long history of helping other shelters and we were glad to lend a helping hand during this disaster.”
