Cool Kids

Being kind, considerate and caring

If helping animals is a cause you really care about – you can be a young animal advocate!

It’s all about being kind, considerate and caring for both humans and animals.

The OHS cares for homeless animals. While staying with us, we give these animals a temporary place to live until we can adopt them out into a new forever family.

Since the OHS is a charity, we rely on donations to help pay for food, water, toys and medical care that the animals need while they stay with us.

Humane Heroes

The OHS is grateful for the help of young Humane Heroes, just like you!

Read our tips below to get ideas on how you can help raise money and help the animals. And remember that everyone can make a difference!

  • Set up shop and hold a bake sale or lemonade stand!
  • Collect change for our Buddy & Belle donation box!
  • Pay it forward with chores! Pet sit, walk dogs, mow lawns, shovel snow, sell homemade jewelry, babysit and donate a portion, or all of your earnings, to the animals at the OHS!
  • Ask friends and family to donate money or supplies to the OHS instead of giving gifts or loot bags for a birthday!
  • Celebrate your birthday at the OHS!

Thank you to all of our wonderful kids!
