Mission Statement

The Life Saving Mission of the Oshkosh Area Humane Society is to save the lives of animals in need by providing shelter and care for lost, unwanted or abandoned animals. We pledge that every adoptable animal will get the opportunity to find a loving home regardless of space and with no time limitations.
You can help: donate, foster, adopt.

Foster Families Needed

Every day, cats and kittens arrive at OAHS that we just don’t have enough room for.  OAHS is a life saving shelter, which means we will not euthanize due to the lack of space in the building.  This is where you can help.  By providing a temporary home, you give us the support we need until we find them a loving permanent home.
