Ohlone Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) animal welfare nonprofit serving Fremont, Newark and Union City. We advocate for all creatures, from urban wildlife to companion animals. While OHS doesn’t operate a shelter, we’re one of the few humane societies to maintain a wildlife rehabilitation center. Founded in 1983, OHS began as a grassroots group dedicated to bettering the lives of shelter animals. After a monumental effort driven by petitions, council sessions and rallying the public, the Tri-City Animal Shelter was built in the heart of Fremont. Since those early days, OHS has expanded its programs and services to benefit the animals and our community. They range from therapy dog teams visiting senior care facilities to pet meals on wheels helping our underserved community. Our latest program, Tri-City Shelter Assistance, actively supports and collaborates with the local animal shelter as they advance their volunteer program, community outreach and public awareness.
