The Olympic Peninsula Humane Society is inviting you to celebrate Halloween early! Try out your costumes, get some candy and walk around our haunted barn all for free.

Here is a sneak peak of what you will see in the haunted barn. We are working so hard to bring a great free experience for everyone.

(CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post invited folks to bring "your beloved dog." For safety reasons (both for your dog and for the dogs currently living in Barkhouse), we ask that you do NOT bring your dogs with you to this event. Thanks.)

Reminder
It’s October 19, 2024 at 1743 Old Olympic Hwy from 1:00pm-4:00pm

Hello Fellow Animal-lovers:

It’s been a little over 2 weeks since I last shared what’s going on at OPHS. It’s been a busy time!

Kitty City is now at capacity! We accepted a small number of local cats that needed shelter, because of household emergencies (e.g., owner death, transfer out of the area, move to a nursing facility). We were part of a communitywide effort to rescue over 100 cats that were confiscated in a hoarding incident near Quilcene. We took in 10 of these cats and are caring for them in our quarantine and isolation rooms at Kitty City.

I’m happy to report that all the cats in our care are doing fine! So, if you’re looking for a furry feline friend, we have lots of adorable kittens and adult cats that need a good home.

We’ve also continued working on rebuilding OPHS so that we can resume/continue to provide quality care far into the future for dogs and cats that need us. For the near-term, we’ve prioritized getting Barkhouse up and running again: Although we’re still ironing out the details, the necessary steps are becoming clear, with a focus on making the facility safer for workers and dogs and revising protocols and operational procedures so that we can provide optimal care for the dogs. Next, we will cost out these changes to see what we can afford to undertake (and when). When we have this operational plan for Barkhouse ready, we intend to hold a public forum to hear your thoughts and suggestions on that plan.

We’ve also made progress in rebuilding the OPHS Board with caring, active members. As of this writing, Megan Overton is Vice President, Gina Luellen is Treasurer, and Martha Ireland is Secretary, along with members Kevin Talbot, Cindy Witham, and me (Paul Stehr-Green) as President. We have a few more interested candidates who will, hopefully, join us soon. If you are willing to give your time and energy to the cats and dogs by being a part of the OPHS Board, let us know and we’ll send you a Board application. We’re especially in need of Board members with legal, human resources, communications, and construction experience/skills.

Finally, we’ve invited representatives from all animal shelters and rescues in the area (including Jefferson County) to meet with us at Kitty City. The purpose of the gathering is to get to know each other and our respective organizations better, share and discuss our common challenges and goals, and strengthen alliances.

Things are moving forward!

Paul Stehr-Green
Board President, Olympic Peninsula Humane Society

Our free community event, initially envisioned as a haunted trail, has undergone an exciting transformation into a haunted barn experience. While we originally hoped to create a spooky outdoor path, various factors led us to adapt our plans. The shift from a haunted trail to a haunted barn allows us to craft an immersive, family-friendly environment where participants of all ages can enjoy the thrill of Halloween without venturing into the unpredictability of our weather outdoors.

Hello, Friends:
My name is Paul Stehr-Green. I have recently taken on the role of President of the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society (OPHS) Board. It is a challenge I accept with honor and humility.

It is a difficult time for OPHS. As you are aware, the organization has struggled of late with a litany of financial and operational problems, some that were visited upon us (most notably the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath) and some of our own making.

At the advice of a valued group of advisors (comprising donors, financial advisors, veterinary professionals, and others), OPHS has temporarily stopped taking in new dogs and cats so that the Board can develop a new structure and operating plan for the organization.

At this point, the planning has just begun. It is our expectation that the reimagined organization will continue to provide the highest quality of care for the animals in our facilities, but also establish a culture that incorporates mutual commitment and respect for all members of the OPHS family, a hierarchy with clear responsibilities/expectations and chain-of-command, and dedication at all levels to financial discipline.

Your continued support of the organization is important. We, and more importantly, the kitties and puppies in our care, need your volunteer time and donations. If you want to be a part of the rebuilding process at any level (volunteer, Board member, employee, donor), send us an e-mail at [email protected] or call us at (360) 457-8206.

Finally, I pledge that we will keep you informed about what’s happening throughout this process in a timely and complete manner, through social media, e-mails, and public forums. Remember: we’re all in this together…for our furry friends!
Take care, and thanks.

Paul
