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

Rating: 5 stars  

My first experience with the Oshkosh Area Humane Society(OAHS) was in 2001 when I adopted my first dog from there. I started in 2005 as a volunteer walking dogs and other odd jobs. While volunteering in January of 06 I started training a puppy named Smokey. After working with him for several months and fostering him I decided to adopt him. In 2008, I was given the opprotunity to join the Board of Directors. All my experiences at the OAHS have been very positive. The new building is state of the art and they have an absolutly outstanding staff to go along with it. They all are very caring, dedicated and everything is done for the animals best interest. Some days I don't know how they do it but they always handle every situation, difficult or not in the most professional, caring manner. I am proud to be associated with such an excellent organization.

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

the high percentage of animals that are adopted compared to the national average.

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

I'm not sure that it could be run any better then it is already.

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

helping the animals through the opportunity of volunteering.

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

outstanding caring people and always professional.

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

take care of more animals and educate the community on spay and neutering their animals.

Ways to make it better...

I could volunteer more and give them more money to help care for more animals.

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

is the influx of abandon animals as well as a greater challenge raising money in this bad economy.

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

Joni and her staff do an outstanding job day in and day out no matter what the challenges they face. Excellent job!!!!!
