Greenhill Humane Society

Greenhill Humane Society has been caring for animals since 1944 and is the only animal shelter that serves all of Lane County.  Greenhill relies on donations for a majority of its budget in addition to grants and local government contracts.

The Shelter, located on Greenhill Road, west of Eugene, provides adoption and care for over 17 species of animals, not just dogs and cats, a community pet food pantry, and cris care and disaster response. Greenhill is a “no kill” shelter.

On July 16, Cary Leiberman, Greenhill’s Executive Director, will provide City Club with information on the facilities programs and services to the public.

Mr. Lieberman has been the Executive Director of Greenhill Humane Society since 2007 and has been actively involved in animal welfare and community organizations for over 30 years. In addition to his role with Greenhill, Cary is currently the President of Lane County Community Organizations Active in Disaster.

Under Cary’s leadership, Greenhill Humane Society has successfully completed a $6 million expansion, including state-of-the-art animal housing and a veterinary surgical center; developed a community-wide trap-neuter-return program; added pet-retention programs including a pet pantry and crisis boarding; and leads disaster response efforts for animals and people with animals. Cary’s focus is on lifesaving, improving the animal welfare system, and bringing a humane perspective to address community health and well-being.

In 2009, Cary obtained his designation as a Certified Animal Welfare Administrator, and in 2014, he received his No-Kill Animal Shelter Management Certificate from the University of the Pacific. Cary is active in the Association for Animal Welfare Advancement.

The program will be held at Roaring Rapids Pizza, 40096 Franklin Boulevard in Glenwood at noon. It will also be livestreamed on Zoom and available the following day on the Springfield City Club You Tube channel.
