Orphan Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc. is a nonprofit, no-kill, volunteer-run 501 (c)(3) animal rescue and sanctuary that consists of a small network of foster care homes in Northeast Wisconsin and a small Adoption Center in Neenah, WI.
We were founded in September, 2008 by six animal lovers who saw the need in the Fox Cities community to save the lives of more homeless pets and set in motion the steps needed to ensure a future in which there are no more homeless pets in Wisconsin.
We primarily help cats, kittens, dogs and puppies, but also help and other small animals such as bunnies and birds, as we have the capacity available.
The pets we help primarily come from other local rescue groups and humane organizations when they need help or are over capacity. We pride ourselves on the high standards of quality care we provide to each and every animal. We feed high-quality foods and adhere to strict standards to ensure the best medical care is given to all the pets in our care.
We receive no funding; we rely completely on donations to save the lives of the homeless pets in our care. We always have a waiting list of pets in need.
We hope to spread our compassion to the community to inspire action that will make an impact. Through the development of educational and outreach initiatives, we will reach the community and beyond with our message about the importance of spaying and neutering and treating animal companions with respect and dignity.
With your help, we can create a network of animal lovers who will change the world—one homeless pet and one person at a time.
Our founders: Natalie Nelson, Kerry Guyette, Nicole Boesken, Donna Matusewic, Emily Anderson & Amy King
