Review for Oshkosh Area Humane Society Inc, Oshkosh, WI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been volunteering for the OAHS for 14 years now. I started out helping with fund raising and graduated to being a senior volunteer at the shelter. I have done almost everything there is to do there, walk dogs, give them baths, laundry, dishes, clean kennels in a pinch, helped out at the desk. I keep volunteering because I feel very wanted and useful there. I am always thanked when I leave no matter how much or little I've done that day. The staff is very caring and very good at what they do. I know that everything is done with the animals best interest. I will continue to volunteer as long as I can, because the shelter is like my family. If I would have never volunteered there I would also have never had the joy and love of my three dogs and two cats.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The number of animals adopted out that might not be at other shelters.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

I couldn't do it, I give every one of them all the credit in the world for what they do.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The way I am treated and the friendships I have found along the way.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Knowledgable, friendly and willing to do whatever it takes.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Pay off debts, spay and neuter more animals, give raises to employees and fix what needs fixing.

Ways to make it better...

I had more time to spend there and help out.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

The amount of animals coming in and the education of people about spaying and neutering.

One thing I'd also say is that...

This is the best place to volunteer.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
