The Oshkosh Area Humane Society is very excited about its new partnership with Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue, a Madison based non-profit offering low cost spay neuter surgeries. OAHS will be a drop-off location for people in the Oshkosh area utilizing the services of Shelter from the Storm.  Shelter from the Storm comes to OAHS to pick up pets scheduled in advance for surgery on a specific day, takes them back to the Madison clinic, performs surgeries the next day and then brings pets back to OAHS to be returned to their owners.

This program benefits people and their pets and OAHS. For the owners, they will have a pet that is easier to train, less likely to roam and get into fights with other animals. The animals themselves will be less likely to develop certain kinds of cancer and live happier and healthier lives. The payoff for OAHS is fewer unwanted births resulting in fewer unwanted animals coming into OAHS and other shelters.

Persons wishing to take advantage of the low cost spay/neuter and transport service need to call ahead to set up an appointment to have their pet altered.  Currently appointments are being set up through Kyle, a college intern at OAHS.  Surgeries include rabies and distemper vaccinations. For more information about the program and its benefits leave a message for Kyle at 920-424-2128 or email spaymeoahs@hotmail.com.
