Join us at the Ritz Carlton Reynolds Lake Oconee for an evening with Grammy Award winning artist, Mike Farris
Saturday, July 27 at 7:00pm

The Ritz Carlton Reynolds Lake Oconee has partnered with ORHS to bring renown singer Mike Farris back to this beautiful lakefront venue.  Tickets are $20.
June is "Adopt a Shelter Cat" Month at ORHS!
Dogs have owners.  Cats have staff.  If you work well with others and need an executive to head up your staff, the month of June is the perfect time to find the perfect cat!  June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and at Oconee Regional Humane Society (ORHS), we’re pretty sure we may have just the cat for the job! 

Featured Dog:  Elsa

Meet Elsa, a beautiful Boxer mix puppy who was rescued by a local animal control.  Elsa LOVES getting attention from the volunteers and visitors at ORHS.  She loves chewing on her toys and chasing tennis balls.  She was a stray, so she needs to learn a few basic commands.  Do not worry though, she is very smart and will learn in no time.  Please consider Elsa as the newest member of your family.

Featured Cat:  Reecey

Meet Reecey!  Reecey is a beautiful 4-year-old tortoiseshell cat who was adopted and returned to ORHS twice, due to illnesses of her adopters both times.  Her sister was just adopted again leaving Reecey alone to find her forever family.  She is very sweet and will run to greet you when you enter the room.  Reecey is very interested in what is going on around her and would like nothing more than to participate in family life.  Please consider adding Reecey to your family.

About Our Shelter

ORHS works to end animal overpopulation and disease through an aggressive spay/neuter program for the pets of low-income residents in our community.  We know of no other community spay/neuter program that offers NO-COST surgeries for the pets of needy residents.

We help needy families feed and care for their pets, serve as advocates for animals and their people, and educate the public about compassion and responsibility toward all animals.

Our adoption center is a no-kill facility where all incoming animals accepted are evaluated, medically treated and rehabilitated when needed. ORHS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that does not receive any government funding and relies on the goodwill and generosity of individuals and corporations.
