June 18, 2015 – A letter from Pam Wiese, VP of Marketing and Public Relations at the Nebraska Humane Society
Hello,
Pets in Omaha is a wonderful resource for the Omaha metro area. Started by a couple of guys who just “wanted to help” the animals, it has grown into a pet advocacy website that provides information, helpful hints, articles and event postings for the Omaha Metro Area.
Pets in Omaha offers unconditional support to all rescues and shelters in the area and helps spread the word about each group’s mission and needs. They spotlight challenges facing animal welfare groups like pet over population and the need for foster care. They highlight animals needing special homes, and provide well researched articles geared toward informing pet owners about proper pet care. And they offer information on pet friendly events so pet lovers can get involved.
Pets in Omaha provides “glue” to link up pets, people and animal advocacy organizations in one spot. They have even created a new event in the metro called “Pick a Pooch” that put everyone under one roof and provided a one-stop pet experience.
The Nebraska Humane Society is gratified and proud to be affiliated with Pets In Omaha.com!
Sincerely,
Pam Wiese VP NHS Public Relations and Marketing

April 15, 2015 – A clip from Sunday’s 9 p.m. Fox 42 newscast featuring our event: Pick-a-Pooch in the news
April 12, 2015 – Several news outlets came to our event to see what we were up to! WOWT Channel 6 News, KMTV, the Ralston Recorder and FOX 42 were all there. Here are a couple of stories they published. *Note- the WOWT story called our “Pick-a-Pooch” event “Pets in Omaha” and said it was sponsored by Omaha Magazine, both of which are inaccurate. The Pets in Omaha Pick-a-Pooch events are made possible through our own revenue and through sponsorship that we’ll give attribution to.
