Core values

- **Addressing Societal Needs**: The OHS addresses critical societal needs such as caring for ill, injured, and homeless animals, providing medical care for families unable to afford veterinary services, and promoting public education and awareness of animal welfare[1][2][4].
- **Improving Quality of Life**: The organization improves the quality of life for both animals and their owners by providing essential services like spay/neuter programs, wellness clinics, and emergency pet food banks. This helps keep pets with their families and ensures they receive necessary care[1][4].
- **Promoting Positive Change**: OHS promotes positive change through its advocacy for animal welfare, development of community partnerships, and educational programs for children and youth. These efforts help shape a more compassionate community[2][4][5].
- **Contributing to Community Well-being**: The OHS contributes significantly to community well-being by organizing events like the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run, which raises funds for animal care, and by providing resources such as pet food banks and wellness clinics that support families in need[4].
