Oshkosh Area Humane Society
This year, we are proud to announce that a portion of all proceeds will be donated to the Oshkosh Area Humane Society. The mission of the Oshkosh Area Humane Society is to inspire responsible pet ownership and kindness towards all living things. We safeguard, rescue, adopt, and advocate for animals in need while promoting the human animal bond.
OAHS serves the Oshkosh area and surrounding community. We are pleased to have had visitors and adopters come from all over the state of Wisconsin and even outside the state to see our facility and to visit with the pets looking for homes. OAHS never turns an animal in need way and does not have a time limit on the stay of a companion animal. Many times OAHS goes the extra mile for pets coming to us, especially older pets or those with behavioral issues and medical needs.
OAHS has several programs to aid in the adoption and care of animals. The Home at Last Program provides sponsorship for cats over the age of three years old. The Best Friends Program provides sponsorship for dogs that, for whatever reason, may have been overlooked by prospective adopters. There is the Cuddles Fund to provide for medical treatments that go beyond traditional health care. Last year, through the S.N.I.P (Spay/Neuter In-house Program), OAHS arranged for the spaying and neutering of 625 animals: 578 of those surgeries were done right at OAHS thanks to several different veterinarians volunteering their skills. (OAHS pays for everything else such as anesthesia, surgical packs and additional staff to monitor the animals before and after surgery.)
Through the Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Center, OAHS offers to provide housing for the pets of families in crisis. OAHS also serves as a member of the Coordinated Community Response (CCR) Team along with other local agencies such as law enforcement, social services, counseling servicesma and the Winnebago DA's office.
OAHS provides multiple educational programs to area schools and Scout Troops. Last year more than 30 programs were presented and and equal number of tours were provided for young children. (An estimated 2500 children were part of our educational services last year.)
Less than 11% of OAHS $700,000 operating costs come from service contracts. OAHS relies heavily on private donations, memberships, sponsorships and fundraisers to continue to provide the above services and more to our community..
Again, thank you for caring about the animals. We truly appreciate your support.
