Essential Oils Are Essential!
HAWS, Friends' Meeting Room
Humane Animal Welfare Society
701 Northview Road
Waukesha, WI 53188
Susie Bower, owner of End of the Leash, Mukwonago (and coming soon to the village of Pewaukee!) presents this seminar at HAWS on the beneficial effects of essential oils. Cats, dogs, horses, birds and their humans all benefit from the amazing powers of therapeutic grade oils.
Susie has worked with essential oils for years, and is a student of the work of Melissa Shelton, DVM, owner of Crow River Animal Hospital & Dental Clinic, Howard Lake, MN. Dr. Shelton, internationally recognized for her work with essential oils, has tested and documented the therapeutic benefits of oils in veterinary practice. Susie will feature Dr. Shelton’s newly-released book, Essential Oils for Natural Pet Care: A Veterinarian’s Desk Reference for the Top Health Concerns of Cats, Dogs, and Horses. http://www.hawspets.org/calendar/default.asp?d=8/1/2012#

Oshkosh Area Humane Society
& Shelter from the Storm Spay Neuter
Oshkosh Humane Society
1925 Shelter Court
Oshkosh, WI 54901
The Oshkosh Area Humane Society is very excited about its partnership with Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue, a Madison based non-profit offering low cost spay neuter surgeries. OAHS will be a drop-off location for people in the Oshkosh area utilizing the services of Shelter from the Storm. Shelter from the Storm comes to OAHS to pick up pets scheduled in advance for surgery on a specific day, takes them back to the Madison clinic, performs surgeries the next day and then brings pets back to OAHS to be returned to their owners.
This program benefits people and their pets and OAHS. For the owners, they will have a pet that is easier to train, less likely to roam and get into fights with other animals. The animals themselves will be less likely to develop certain kinds of cancer and live happier and healthier lives. The payoff for OAHS is fewer unwanted births resulting in fewer unwanted animals coming into OAHS and other shelters.
Persons wishing to take advantage of the low cost spay/neuter and transport service need to call ahead to set up an appointment at 920-424-2128 or email spaymeoahs@hotmail.com
Note! Payment due by August 11th

Every year many elderly people in Juneau County are forced to give up their beloved pet because they are facing a health or financial crisis. This is a heartbreaking situation for the owner and the animal. We would like to help. Our Elderly Assistance Program is designed to assist persons 60 years old and older in keeping their pet with them for as long as possible. We have members who are willing to assist with dog walking, grooming, driving pets to the veterinarian, and even helping to purchase cat or dog food if necessary. Pets and the elderly. A Good Mix!
To view or print our Elderly Assistance Application visit website .
To ease your mind about the future of your pets, we also offer 'Guardian Angels' , a program that assures your pet will be taken care of in the event of your illness or death. There is no cost for this program. Please contact one of our board members if you have questions about completing a Guardian Angels form. 608-847-4060 http://www.carlnelson.org/index.html
