October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month and also Adopt a Black Dog Month!!!

Approximately 3.3 million dogs enter shelters every year. When these abandoned and often abused animals find their way to a shelter, each one needs a forever home and their potential is limitless.

No matter the breed, size or demeanor, ORHS will take the time to find the right home for our animals. While some dogs have experienced injury or illness, ORHS works with Park Place Animal Hospital and other veterinarians to heal them before making them available for adoption.

How to Observe
Ideally, the best way to celebrate would be to adopt a shelter dog. However, if you are unable to do so, spread the word. Volunteers and donations are welcome, too!

Post it on Twitter, Facebook, and any other social media you can think of using. Share this post. Tag ORHS. #AdoptAShelterDogMonth #Dogtober

Featured Dog: Sally

Submit an Adoption Application

Hi, I'm Sally! I am a super sweet yellow lab/hound mix who came to ORHS to find my forever home. I have adjusted well to being at ORHS, but I would really like to be in a home with a family to call my own. I have made friends with several of the other dogs at the center and love to play with them in our fenced yard. I am house trained and know some basic commands. Please consider adding me to your family.

Featured Cat: Reecey

Submit an Adoption Application

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.
