Adoption Center Hours
Tuesday - Saturday 11am-3pm     
Thank you for your support and for working with us over the past year during the pandemic.  We are happy to announce that our adoption center is now open to the public for those looking to adopt a cat or dog.  We will be limiting the amount of visitors inside the adoption center at one time and ask that all visitors wear a mask. 

It is encouraged to visit our adoptable pets on our website and to fill out an application online if you are interested in adopting.  Learn more about our adoption process by clicking the appropriate button below.

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.

Featured Dog:  Javi

Jovial Javi
Javi, a male terrier/mix, three month old puppy, was found as a stray and then transferred into our care. He is super friendly and gives the best kisses! Ha I walks wonderfully on a leash. If you are interested in Javi, please fill out an adoption application.

Featured Cat:  Amber

Affectionate Amber
We chose Amber for pet of the week because she is not only very affectionate, she is absolutely stunning! At 2 years of age, this little lady still has enough kitten in her to be playful. She also is old enough to enjoy snuggling with her person. She gets along well with other cats, but also does well on her own. She just might be the one for you!
