For 144 years OHS has been sheltering abandoned animals, fighting cruelty and neglect, and working to build a caring, compassionate community here in Oregon. Although we have thousands of members and 1,500 volunteers, we are really nothing more than a single person saying, "Yes, I want to help."

Dr. Darm Aesthetic Medicine gives back to the community and is a proud supporter of the Oregon Humane Society.

Because of compassionate businesses like Dr. Darm's Aesthetic Medicine, we can raise awareness about the plight of homeless companion animals throughout the state; inspire over 11,000 kids (K-12) per year with values based educational techniques; investigate and solve approximately 1,000 cruelty cases each year; support animal welfare organizations throughout the Pacific Northwest and low performing shelters in California through our Second Chance program, i.e. 1000's of pets come to join OHS from overwhelmed shelters due to insufficient adopters and lack of space; and build more compassionate community.

Viral Picture: Dog Receiving Head Massage Loves it!

Kibble is good. Bones will do. But if you really want to reward man's best friend for his loyalty, a head massage is the true treat. Reddit user Sheasus decided to try out a head massager on an endearing dog and the result was "Absolute Happiness." The pooch's ecstatic expression has quickly accumulated Internet love, becoming a top post on Reddit. We're sure dogs around the world are grateful as their pats get upgraded to the truly satisfying art of massage.

"Talking" Dog Wants Kitten

Nobody can resist a kitten, not even a dog. This chatty canine can't stop going on about how much he wants a feline fluffball of his own. But this pup isn't dealing with just any owner, he is dealing with a master of pet practical jokes, the creator of viral vid Ultimate Dog Tease. So you know this pooch will have to do a whole lot of talking to get his kitty wish. Watch and see if all the begging and barking worked out.

Awesome Photos of a Pup More Stylish Than You Meet 

Bohdi - also known as Menswear Dog, star of a Tumblr with the same name. He is a 3-and-a-half year old Shiba Inu living in New York City with his human companions. When asked how Menswear Dog got started, David, who runs the Menswear Dog site, had this to say: ""Menswear dog" was the result of a lazy Saturday afternoon. We thought it would be a good idea to dress up Bodhi (Menswear Dog's real name) in some serious menswear clothes just for fun. We posted a picture of it on Facebook, and the response from our friends and family was unreal. That's when we realized that we had stumbled on to something special." Special indeed - that pooch is strikingly fashion-forward. Click through for 7 photos of the most dapper dog around. - By Devan McGuinness

About Dr. Darm
Dr. Darm is the Medical Director of Aesthetic Medicine in Portland (Lake Oswego), OR. He pioneered the trademark procedures of LaserLift and LipoLift, which use non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques, respectively, to smooth fine lines and banish excess fat. The LaserLift procedure reverses damage caused by exposure to the sun, free radicals, and gravity malfunctions by regenerating collagen and tightening the skin with laser wavelengths. LipoLift destroys fat with a laser that melts fat cells through a small incision and allows them to be removed more gently than with traditional liposuction. Most recently, Dr. Darm added a third trademarked treatment: MiniLift. The MiniLift is performed only by a board-certified plastic surgeon and is available only at Aesthetic Medicine. In the new Lake Oswego location that boasts more than 14,000 square feet, Dr. Darm helps patients feel beautiful in other ways, including combating spider veins with laser therapy or sclerotherapy and keeping wrinkles at bay with injectable fillers. The center's medically-supervised weight loss program helps patients shed pounds under the guidance of medical specialists and dietitians.
