What's Going on at the Oshkosh Area Humane Society? Watch This Video to Find Out!

It's about that time of year again - when the Oshkosh Area Humane Society holds its annual Walk for the Animals. This year the “slightly under 1 mile walk” will be held on Saturday, Sept. 17, rain or shine. Registration and turning in of pledge forms begins at 8:30 a.m. at the Winnebago County Expo Center, Barn E, by the grandstand.

 Even if you don’t have a dog, or other pet to walk, you’re welcome to collect pledges for the shelter’s Basic Medical Fund. This year’s goal is to raise $60,000. If you didn’t collect any money, no worries. You’re still welcome to come and join in the fun, and possibly make a personal donation while you’re there, or you can make a pledge online at oahs.org. This year’s theme is a Pajama Party. So, put on your coolest PJs, even robe and slippers, if you wish, and come join the fun. Your pet can be wearing PJs, too. If you aren’t yet quite comfortable in crowds, you can come and walk well behind or ahead of everyone. Or you can walk the route alone or with a family member or friend some other time.

 Joining Cheryl Hentz on this edition of Eye on Oshkosh are Jessica Miller, the new Executive Director of the shelter and Cheryl Rosenthal, the shelter’s Communications and Education Coordinator. They’ll be talking about the unprecedented times the shelter is currently experiencing – both with strays and surrenders – and the need for more money, as well as more foster homes.

 They’ll also be sharing with the audience when their two upcoming vaccination clinics are taking place. These are both open to the public. Information about the shelter’s brand-new TOP DOG contest will be announced. This is sure to be an exciting contest. Other pet and shelter-related topics are discussed.
