My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Duke is a goofy, lovable, affectionate boy. He will sit in your lap if you let him! He just loves being by people and being a part of what ever is going on. He actually is very comfortable with men - maybe more so than women. A rare find. He LOVES riding in the car. Any truck drivers out there? Duke is your guy! Duke can be cautious with new people and new situations at first but give him a bit of time and patience and he`ll soon warm up to you.
- 2 years old, 70 pounds
- Very treat motivated and willing to learn.
-Suggested for children age teen years and up due to his size and energy level
-Would do best in a structured home that is willing to work on training. He already knows sit, down and shake and does well with corrections.
-Duke was most likely not socialized with dogs in his puppyhood and therefore is unsure and nervous around them. He should be the only dog in the home and any dog introductions outside the home should be done slowly with professional assistance.
-Not suggested for home with cats due to focus and chasing cat in last home
-Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Thank you for considering adoption for your next companion animal! When you adopt a pet, you save a life. Our goal is to find "forever" homes for our animals. Our trained staff wants to help you choose an animal to match your family and lifestyle so everyone is happy!

Questions? Call 920.424.2128

Note: OAHS asks potential adopters to please meet the pet they are interested in adopting before they fill out an adoption application. We currently can not take applications online.

Because adding a pet to your family is a big responsibility, we ask all adopters be willing to do the following:

Talk to an adoptions counselor about what characteristics you're looking for in a companion.
Spend quality time visiting with the pet you are thinking about adopting. All members of the household will be asked to visit with the animal prior to adoption*.
Participate in a scheduled meet and greet if you have animals in your home and apply for an animal of the same species (for dog and rabbit adoptions). A meet-and-greet can help with a comfortable transition for all animals.
Ensure current animals in the home are spayed or neutered.*
Complete a simple one-page application form. It can take 1-2 business days to process the application. Applicants will be notified immediately if any problems arise with the application.
Meet with an adoption specialist the day you bring your new companion home to review paperwork and sign adoption papers.
Note: Adoptions are not first-come-first-serve but rather based on matchmaking. Same-day adoptions are typically not possible but if you are located such a distance outside of Oshkosh that makes more than one visit difficult please call 920.424.2128 for options. OAHS expects animals adopted will live inside the home with their families (exceptions are made for cats in our barn program).

* Any existing animals in the household of the same species should be spayed or neutered prior to bringing the new animal home due to hormone-induced behavior issues that may occur (exceptions for medical reasons may apply).
