Home > Volunteer > Volunteer Welcome - Orientation
Welcome,
Thank you for your interest in the Oshkosh Area Humane Society and our volunteer program. Volunteering at OAHS is a rewarding experience that benefits the animals, the community and you!
There are lots of ways that you can make a difference at OAHS. Whether you are interested in volunteering hands-on with the animals here at the shelter, our Pet Therapy program, or working with the public in our Outreach program, the first step in becoming a volunteer is to attend an orientation. Additional training for either cats or dogs is required to work hands-on with the animals. Orientation and behavior classes are listed below.
