Mission
The mission of the Oktibbeha County Humane Society (OCHS) is to serve as a resource for pets and their people, control pet overpopulation through affordable and accessible spay and neuter services, and care for and promote adoption of the thousands of homeless and neglected dogs and cats that come through our doors each year.
Core Values
- We believe that all people and animals should be treated respectfully.
- We believe that people’s love for their pets surpasses socioeconomic circumstances and social differences.
- We believe all animals deserve to be safe, loved, and cared for.
- We believe that by helping people and their pets who are in need we can create a healthier, happier, safer community for all.
