2010
Adoption/Foster Program
The number of animals needing the help of OOHS for
adoption/foster was down in
2010, but that doesn’t mean we
are slowing down. In fact, the
need to keep working is even
greater so we can keep pets
from becoming homeless!

In just under four years, things in
Lake County have changed for the
better, for the animals and the
people who care about them. The
number of companion animals
looking for a second chance are
down, more people are spaying
and neutering their pets and less
pets are feeling the effect of hunger. By making sure we have
strong, proactive programs in
place for the animals and for the
people, things are looking up in
our corner of Oregon.
During 2010, we saw a shift in
where we are putting resources.
More funds, approximately one
half of our program expenses, are
being used for proactive programs! In the work to have Lake
County move toward a community of “No More Homeless Pets”,
OOHS knows the focus needs to
be on proactive programs. A
change, yes. And a change for the
better.
SPAY DAY USA 2011
IN THE WORK TO MAKE LAKE
COUNTY A COMMUNITY MOVING
TOWARD “NO MORE HOMELESS
PETS”, OOHS KNOWS THE
FOCUS NEEDS TO BE ON
PROACTIVE PROGRAMS
In 2010 did not any need less
funds, we just needed them spent
differently.
Our work is far from done, or
even less, in fact it is just beginning! Luckily, the work will be
making sure we have proactive
programs available and accessible
….think mobile spay neuter!.
So keep that support coming. You
can be assured that we at OOHS
are putting your generosity where
it will make the most difference
for the animas and the people who
rely on us. Thank You!

WHY ADOPT
When you adopt an animal
from a rescue, shelter or
humane society you are
helping save lives. Not just
the life of the animal you
adopt, but the life of an animal that organization now
has room to help. Why this
may seem like reason
enough, consider this:
You will be getting a pet
that is already spayed/
neutered, up to date on vaccination and likely already
microcipped. An OOHS pet
even comes with 30 days of
complimentary pet insurance.
HAPPY
ENDINGS

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Love has nothing to do with what
you are expecting to get–only with
what you are expecting to give–
which is everything. ~Katherine Hepburn
We pride ourselves on finding
great animals forever, loving
homes. But we can’t wait for the
day when that is not the number
one thing we spend our time
and resources on. We work for
the day when our proactive programs are the focus because
that means more lives saved.

Every puppy not born to an unwanted litter, ever cat that can
stay in their home because we
helped someone with pet food
means a chance for another animal to find a home. THAT is the
answer.
We are committed to making
Lake County a community of
No More Homeless Pets.
You Can Help.

2011 The Year of the Cat
Caught Red
Handed
Lake County’s Community Cats
You see them everywhere. But who
cares for them, who makes sure
they are OK? If OOHS has anything to do with it, a whole community will.
They are Lake
County’s community cats. No
one really claims
them as pets, but
they need help
too. So OOHS
got proactive for
them, with help from community
members from business owners to
caring neighbors.
With the help of Dr Emily Sare,
DVM, a Targeted Trap Neuter Return Program was started in November. It has been a community
effort. OOHS volunteers have been
able to use scrap material donated
from the Lake County Library construction for the shelters. Two
businesses in the first Targeted
Area have donated money

VOLUNTEERS!
and services to this effort. So far,
we have fixed over 35 community
cats, built shelters for them and
improved community relations
between community cat caretakers and their neighbors. Best of
all, less unwanted kittens.
A generous grant from Best
Friends Animal Society means
OOHS will be able to help approximately 30% of the community cats in Lakeview. But let’s not
stop there. We are hoping to eventually help all of them. We need
volunteers and sponsors to keep it
going. You can sponsor a cat for
$30.00 or sign up to help by visiting our website or calling 877-9475009 ext 6.
