Please help make wishes come true for the homeless animals in our care by making a donation this holiday season!

OAHS has continued to see a record of animals in our community needing help this year. We’ve taken in an average of 7 news animals, every day.

Every animal who comes to us needs food, supplies and some form of medical care. 

Every day and every need incurs more expense, and we rely heavily on your kindness and generosity to ensure we can care for them. Please help us help them!

Make a secure donation via credit card, Paypal, Apple Pay, Google Pay
or Venmo through our trusted online partner, DonorView

YOU CAN HELP us get our longest-waiting pets adopted!

We have so many longer-term dogs who need homes for the holidays!

Although they spent Thanksgiving at the shelter or in foster care, we hope they might be able to spend the rest of the holiday season with new loving families.

If you’re open to adoption, please consider one of the following dogs who have been waiting a long time; see their bios, pics and videos here:

Cove
Max
Easton
Ethan
Iggy Mae
Prada
London

We’ve created posters that can be printed and put up in community locations – if you would like to help, please download them (they are PDFs) and ask if you can post at your workplace, church or favorite restaurant or store!

Every glance is a chance that someone might fall in love!

NEW PAINTINGS JUST ADDED!
Give the gift of hope this holiday season! Donate $25, get a watercolor painting of your choice as a thank you. These make wonderful holiday gifts! 

All watercolors are matted and protected in plastic sleeves, ready to be put into any standard 16″ x 20″ frame (frames not included).

Once you complete your donation, we will hold the painting for you to pick up at the shelter. You can pay online via Givebutter or select “pay via check” and mail/bring your check to the shelter at 1925 Shelter Court, Oshkosh, WI 54901. 

These paintings were donated by local watercolorist Kathy Teichmiller of Zoe’s Art. Kathy is a huge animal lover, and donated these beautiful works of art to OAHS to help the animals in our care.

Cat Fosters Needed!

Can we have a slumber pawty?! We have kittens who need a place to crash for a few weeks…will you help?

We have mamas with babies, as well as groups of 2+ kittens, who need fosters. It is so much better for little kittens with their developing immune systems to be cared for in a loving foster home vs. being exposed to all the noise, germs, commotion and stress of the shelter.
 
Please help us help these little ones! To inquire about fostering, please visit our Foster page or contact Nikita@oahs.org.

LOST OR FOUND A PET?

OAHS partners with Petco Love Lost to make reuniting lost pets easier using image recognition technology to search a national lost and found database.
