My story

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

Looking for a companion who truly listens? How about Mateo? He`s all ears! This young cutie is just 9 months old and ready to find a family that will help him grow into a pawesome adult. He is very smart and is already learning new commands in the short time he`s been here. He also seems dog social and if you have playful dog looking for a friend he might fit the bill!

More about Mateo:

- 9 months old, 46 pounds (will still have a bit of growing to do)
- Exuberant `tween`ager with energy to spare
- Friendly and affectionate
- Very smart and treat motivated so is willing to put in the work for snacks
- Can be mouthy like many adolescent dogs are (they explore the world with their mouths) - can be redirected with commands/alternative activities.
- OAHS will sponsor a training package with a positive-reinforcement based trainer for Mateo`s adopter to get him started on the right paw!
- Dog social!
- Unknown with cats
- Suggested for families with older kids - teenagers- due to jumpy/grabby/puppy behavior and children old enough to participate in training
- Neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations

Please note dog visits are by appointment to ensure staff and space availability so we can make the best match possible. Interested in adopting?

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).
