How You Can Help
Adoption
We can help you find a pet that is a good fit for your lifestyle and family.
Here at the OCHS, we promote Adopters Welcome, a conversational approach to
the adoption process. Once adopted, pets from shelters and rescue groups
typically cost less than pets purchased or even acquired for free, when you
add in the cost of vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, microchipping,
flea and tick treatment and dewormer included in your adoption fee.
You can fill out your adoption application ahead of time,
however, our adoption process is an in person meet and greet followed
by our application, they are not approved until the meet and greet has happened.
Call us to schedule your meeting (715) 362-5992

Volunteer:
Volunteers are incredibly important to animal shelters, as they provide
much-needed support and resources that enable shelters to operate efficiently
and effectively.
With limited budgets and staff, shelters often rely on volunteers to bridge
the gap and ensure that animals receive the care and attention they deserve.
Without volunteers, many shelters would struggle to meet the needs of the
animals in their care and find them loving homes.
OCHS is always looking for new volunteers to help with many volunteer opportunities.
