Oshkosh Humane Society

Adopters must be 21 years of age or older.If there is a current dog in the home, a dog mix will be scheduled. Any dogs currently in the household must be spayed or neutered and be current on their rabies vaccination. Please notify your veterinarian to release your dog's information to OAHS.Adopters who rent their home must be aware of, and abide by, their rental pet policies and any related size or breed restrictions/extra fees/deposit/etc. Walk-in visitors without an appointment can view photos of dogs on the screen above the dog desk and fill out an application on site (we do not allow the public in the kennel areas due to stress on the dogs). Staff availability for walk-in visitors may be limited. Adoptions at OAHS are not based on first-come-first-adopted but are based on matchmaking so it's a win-win for everyone. Due to staffing constraints, same-day adoptions are not possible. If you live a significant distance from OAHS, making multiple trips difficult, then we can discuss options.

Please contact our Dog Team at [email protected] or 920-424-2128 ext. 108. We look forward to hearing from youVIEW AVAILABLE DOGSDog adoption fees start at $50 for dogs with special needs. Senior dogs 8 & older typically have an adoption fee of $50-$100. Young adult dogs typically have an adoption fee of $150-$250. Higher adoption fees for younger dogs help to supplement the reduced adoption fees of dogs that may be overlooked by adopters due to age, medical need, etc. OAHS invests an average of $250 into every animal available for adoption. All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated for rabies and microchipped (associated fees may apply for vaccination and microchip) before being adopted (exceptions may apply due to age). They are also given any preventatives and medical treatments needed while in our care.Senior dogs receive a senior bloodwork panel and needed dental care (if deemed necessary) to ensure they are as healthy as possible when they go to their new homes.
