Animal Rescue Entities

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Licensing process

Beginning on the effective date of the rules, an animal rescue entity is in compliance if they have submitted an application and are working with ODA to complete an initial inspection. In preparation for an inspection reference OAR 603-015-0085 thru OAR 603-015-0090 and the ARE Record Requirements​. Following an inspection, ODA will issue a written preliminary determination describing the results of the inspection. 

If it is determined that an animal rescue entity should receive a license, ODA will issue a payment form for the licensing fee. Once the licensing fee is received, a final licensing determination will be made and a license may be issued.​

Licensing fee

The ARE licensing fee is $375 per license per year. The license year is a 12-month period beginning July 1 and ending June 30 or for the remainder of that period at the time a license is issued. Fees are not prorated. ​
