New Volunteers Welcome! The first step to volunteering with animals at the shelter is to attend an orientation. Please see below to register for an upcoming volunteer orientation session. 

Interested in opening your heart and home as a FOSTER VOLUNTEER?  For more information and to fill out a foster application click HERE.  

Volunteer Orientation Registration We ask all those interested in socializing with animals at our shelter to please sign up for the appropriate session ahead of time so we can organize needed materials.  All sessions have a maximum of 10 people.  Dog Walking/Socialization requires additional hands-on training after the initial orientation.  

     Dog Walking/Socialization Level 1: Please note the majority of our dog guests are medium to large size, strong, and active.  After the initial orientation session volunteers must attend a hands-on training session to learn about dog behavior, body lanuage, harnessing, and much more. 

          Saturday, March 25.  Click HERE to sign up for this dog volunteer orientation.

     Cat Socialization Level 1:  Thursday, March 23.  Click HERE to sign up for this cat volunteer orientation. 

     Small Mammals: Interested in working with small mammals such as rabbits, rodents and more?  We may do one-on-one or classroom trainings                  depending on the amount of interest at any given time.  Please send an e-mail to sarah@oahs.org if you want to volunteer with our smalls!  

Questions?  E-mail our Volunteer Coordinator, Sarah, at sarah@oahs.org 

Volunteer Requirements: 

  • Be at least 16 years old. (Our Family Partnership Program allows children age 12 and up to volunteer with an adult guardian. Click here for more information.) 
  • Be able to commit to 3 months of service
  • Volunteer a minimum of 8 hours per month
  • Attend a volunteer orientation and any necessary follow-up hands-on training sessions

There are many volunteer opportunities available at OAHS, whether you want to help by working hands-on with the animals, volunteering at outreach events, or even just by dropping off a donation bank at a local business! 

 

Yes the adoption session was very beneficial. I have a companion again! Everything was so clean - inside and out. Staff and volunteers were very knowledgeable. Rogue's new name is Eli. The T stands for Tennessee where he came from.

Foster Families Needed

The Oshkosh Area Humane Society is a Life Saving Shelter. Every day, cats and kittens arrive at OAHS and sometimes we just don’t have enough room in our building for all of them. By providing a temporary home, you give us the support we need until we find them a loving, permanent home.

That can mean kittens too young to be adopted or an animal needing time to recover from an illness or injury. And sometimes we just need temporary homes for when our shelter is full. Learn More.
