Staffing shortages are hitting many businesses right now in Central Oregon and the Humane Society of Central Oregon (HSCO) can be added to the list. HSCO is closed today, 9/24/21, due to lack of staff. While the doors will be closed, staff will be on hand to take care of the animals.

Corrected from the a.m., on-air reports:

• For stray dog pickups, call non-emergency dispatch at (541) 693-6911. 
• For lost and found animals, call the shelter at (541) 382-3537 and leave a message, providing a description of the animal, the area lost and contact information.
