OARS

OARS…. What comes to your mind? Boats probably. That’s what I think of when I think of OARS.

But now OARS has a new meaning! Orphan Animal Rescue and Sanctuary.....

I stopped last night at a Fundraiser for this great organization and saw a group of dedicated people who are making a difference!

Orphan Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc. is a no-kill, volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is dedicated to changing the lives of homeless pets and helping people in need in Northeast Wisconsin.

They were founded in September, 2008 by six animal lovers who saw the need in the Fox Cities community to save the lives of more homeless pets and set in motion the steps needed to ensure a future in which there are no more homeless pets in Wisconsin.

They primarily help cats, kittens, dogs and puppies, but also help and other small animals such as bunnies and birds, as they have the capacity available.

The pets they help primarily come from other local rescue groups and humane organizations when they need help or are over capacity. They often have a waiting list of pets in need. Receiving no funding; they rely completely on donations to save the lives of the homeless pets in their care.

Their hope is to spread our compassion to the community to inspire action that will make an impact. Through the development of educational and outreach initiatives, they will reach the community and beyond with our message about the importance of spaying and neutering and treating animal companions with respect and dignity.

So what is a focus right now… a permanent location! An Adoption Center! Click here to read about it on their site!

Was the Romp a success? You bet! The event at Holiday's Bar and Grill in Neenah raised $1234.50 which will be put toward their Adoption Center.
