SIMBA our little Tripawd King who has a BIG personality. He loves to talk to his neighboring canine fellas. And his sweet barks and playfulness grabs the attention of all volunteers. His eyes are absolutely mesmerizing.

This is what his foster had to say....
“Despite his rough start to life Simba has the heart of a lion. He’s happy, determined, sweet, funny, playful, independent, fearless, vibrant, adorable puppy who needs someone to help him continue to grow steady and strong. He listens, connects and wants to please. He has great determination and moves well but when he stumbles, he lands like a champ. He needs protection from obstacles but very little guidance. He loves spending time outdoors discovering new smells and sounds. Easy to train, doing well in the early stages of obedience and potty training. Sleeps all night in his crate. Simba is a wonder ! A special beautiful boy that will bring a lot of joy”.

Imagine if your whole family moved away and left you behind…alone.  That’s exactly what happened to Gigi.  She suddenly found herself all alone and outside, which is exactly where a girl like Gigi should not be:  Gigi has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).  While cats with FIV can live long, healthy lives, the disease can compromise the immune system and can make routine illnesses (like respiratory infections) harder on the body.  It is not transmissible to humans and is only known to be transmitted to other cats by means of deep bite wounds.  

Gigi is exceptionally affectionate and was obviously very loved at some point.  She is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.  This 2-3 year young lady will be a wonderful companion to someone lucky enough to see her beauty and potential.

Feel free to contact ORHS for more information about Gigi. Ask for Kari.

LADY GAGA .... That's me. I was born with the cutest feet. The outward feet never stops me from running with my playmates in the yard at ORHS. I get along with all dogs and I am fine with cats as well. I am in great shape but believe it or not I am food driven. I am smart and easily trainable, if you have a few kibbles in your hand. I walk great on leash with other dogs ... I always hear my volunteers calling me the "model child". Yup, come take me home, ... you won't be disap­pointed. And did I tell you ? ... I am very pretty. TAKE ME HOME !!

“Hello, is it me you’re searching for?” Lionel is our pocket-size pit-bull mix. Standing at a solid 45 lbs. He is the perfect mix of beauty, brains, and size.

He is a loving boy who is good with puppies, female dogs, and most neutered males. He loves playing in the yard with most of our dogs and pups here. We are working on his obedience, but he is very quick to learn. Lionel loves kids and is very sweet and gentle with them. We are hoping Lionel finds the perfect match…is it you?

This shy, but sweet, little lady is an absolute joy and wants nothing more than a family to call her own.  Trixie loves to be petted and will reciprocate with head butts all day long.  But since she is shy, Trixie will need a quiet home without small children.  We think she would be overjoyed to spend the bulk of her day sitting next to her special person on the couch, binge watching chick flix or talk shows.  If you need a buddy to share your popcorn with (that won't fight you for the remote), this just might be the girl for you!

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.   

Hi - I'm Bosco!  I am a very sweet, calm and quiet 2-year-old Dachshund/Basset Hound Mix.  I love to play with my toys and take long naps on the couch in my foster home.  I am friendly with other dogs, but I would prefer to snuggle with my foster mommy.  I promise to be the best companion ever and very loyal to my friends.

Rex is a Hound mix who came to ORHS with his siblings.  His siblings has all been adopted, leaving him behind to find his forever home.  Rex is very sweet and playful.  He is very attentive and eager to learn.  He already knows simple commands such as “sit” and “stay”.  He walks nice on a leash and would make a great companion in any home.  Rex is a very special boy as he does have seasonal allergies which can be controlled with regular medication.

Liberty is one of 8 hound mix puppies that we received at ORHS.  Her siblings have all been adopted and now Liberty is waiting for her chance to find her fur-ever home.  Liberty is full of life and loves to play with her toys and the other dogs at the shelter.  She greets each volunteer with tails wags and lots of kisses.  Liberty would do best in a home with another dog, preferably bigger, that she can play with and a family who will keep her active.

Honey is a sweet brindle hound/terrier mix that came to ORHS in May 2018. She was pregnant at the time and has since had her litter of 7 babies.  She was a great mama to her pups and is now ready to be adopted.  She is very sweet and loves to receive attention from the staff at ORHS. She likes to go on walks and play with her toys.  She is especially fond of her squeaky toy duck that she will fetch and roll around with it while hanging out of her mouth.  Her adorable under-bite makes her irresistible to all the staff at ORHS and we are hoping someone else will find it irresistible as well. 

This sweet little kitty was brought to us from a local middle school after being found with one of her back paws strangulated by a string or long carpet fiber.  The paw was extremely swollen and misshapen; it seemed almost a sure thing that Tweed would require amputation.  Our wonderful volunteers immediately started following the prescribed medical plan:  Tweed’s swollen foot received hours and hours of hydrotherapy and massage, along with oral antibiotics.  Little by little the size of her paw reduced...then a little bit of fur started growing on the bare skin...and the wound from the carpet fiber healed.  Thanks to this outstanding care, Tweed will not require amputation of her injured foot!  This adorable tuxedo is very sweet and social.  She loves to play with other kittens and, they way this girl runs, you would never know she has been through such an ordeal.  Tweed will make a great companion and an exceptional addition to any family.

Jenny came to us last December. Some people had found her and her siblings in a box. Emaciated and worm-ridden, two of the five puppies were unable to be saved.

Jenny weighed only a pound and a half! She was a fighter though and she started to recover with the help of great veterinarians and the love of a foster family.

Jenny was adopted in February but sadly, through no fault of her own, she was returned by her new owner. She is a sweet girl with an extremely passive demeanor.

She plays well with other dogs and wants to be held, although she has grown a little large for most laps! She walks great on leash, is crate trained and appears to be housebroken. She looks like she will stay a petite medium size and wants nothing more than to please a new owner!
