ORHS is dedicated to improving the lives of animals in our community and finding loving and permanent homes for the cats and dogs in our care. We rescue animals scheduled for euthanasia from local animal control facilities and from other homeless situations, and provide a safe haven for animals in transition in our loving foster homes. We work 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.
