Review for Oshkosh Area Humane Society Inc, Oshkosh, WI, USA
I have been a volunteer at OAHS for 3 1/2 yrs. It is like home to me. I wear many hats while volunteering and love being there and helping the staff. I see things most volunteers don't see, I see the staff interacting with the public, with the animals, with volunteers. They have always made me feel welcome and know they can ask me to help wherever I am needed. I have helped other volunteers and staff rehabilitate terrified dogs from puppymills and celebrated when they were adopted to a forever home. I have also seen the tears and have cried with the staff and other volunteers over the loss of an animal do to abuse from irresponsible owners. I have seen dedicated dogs that are 11 or 12 yrs old dropped off because owners didn't want to deal with them anymore. Many have been adopted and it lifts our hearts. I volunteer at OAHS because of our dog Penny. She died 4 yrs ago and I wanted to help other dogs that did not have the wonderful life she had. There is no better place to volunteer and I have volunteered several other places.

Make such a big difference in the lives of even more animals. They could hire more people, expand, breath a big sigh of relief. They would not squander it that is for sure
Ways to make it better...
If OAHA didn't have to worry about how they were going to meet the needs of all the animals and all the expenses that go along with keeping the animals warm, safe, fed and happy
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
How to make ends meet in this economy, they do so much with what they have.
