Review for Oshkosh Area Humane Society Inc, Oshkosh, WI, USA
The OAHS continues to be a model of how a humane animal shelter, education center and adoption center should be run. The group at the shelter continually show inventive ways to educate the community, foster fostering, increase adoption, and raise funds.
You know when you donate to this worthy cause - that the dollars are going to fund the best possible outcomes for homeless animals.
I'd be hardpressed to get a pet anywhere else BUT the OAHS

Review for Oshkosh Area Humane Society Inc, Oshkosh, WI, USA
The Oshkosh Area Humane Society is an extremely well run non-profit organization. They strive for local education, facility and service exposure, enjoyable special events,successful drives in times of exceptional need. All this and more, is done, secondarily - because at the heart of the organization is the goal to ensure that all animals, not just in the shelter but also throughout the community receive the basic needs, loving care, and respect that all animals deserve - and often times do not get. OAHS does an outstanding job caring for animals, matching up potential foster or adoptive homes, following up with those pairings. Adopting a pet from OAHS is not a one/two time contact - it becomes a relationship where both parties have the best interest of the animal in mind - forever. The staff is top notch: knowledge, caring, realistic, and honest. Without this - the OAHS would not exist as the great organization that it is today!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
At the facility, at fundraising/friendraising events, in the newspaper, with other people who utilized the OAHS
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Be more of a 'front-liner' in other business forums...Business expos, opportunities to network and educate the 'movers and shakers' to expand donor base and supporters.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
The people - the true knowledge and caring of the staff. The dedication to educating, ensuring the best possible environments for the pets that they are exposed. And...they are fun and have fun doing what they do.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Dedicated, educated, patient, generous with what little time they have.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Increase education of the public and increase use of facility and dogs (through therapy programs with eldercare facilities in and around Oshkosh).
Ways to make it better...
I was extremely pleased with all of my experiences with OAHS
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Lack of funds. Lack of understanding that care of pets is not less important than caring for humans. If it wasn't that important, then there wouldn't be so many pets and pet issues for them to address.
One thing I'd also say is that...
I wish I had that 10million 'bucks' to give to the Humane Society - they would only grow in a positive direction!
