Orphans of the Storm
Our Pet List
Pet of the Month
p>. .....br>Orphans has two pets of the month to start the new year off. We are offering thanks to the sponsorship of a donor 50.00 off of the adoption fee for these two pets during the month of January. Nicky is our dog of the month. He has been with us for quite sometime looking for a new home. He was found as a stray and the family was going to keep him but he did not like their kids even the teenager. He needs an adult only home and really seems to take to females best but does like the men that work here. He is approx. 5/6 years of age. partially housebroken and gets along with some of the other dogs. Next is Cleo and she is a 5 yr old spayed female grey torti longhair. she is spayed, up to date with vaccinations and felv'/fiv negative. Lives loose in our cat room with other cats but can be bossy and fiesty with the other cats at times. Cleo is a small girl. If you are interested in either of these pets please contact shelter for more info.......Maybe we can find them a home and start their new years off with a smile................... our pictures are on our petfinder site.........
ADDITION PROJECT
We have been in our four new rooms for five years now but we still are in need of new cage units for these rooms and we are now fund raising and have applied for and recieved a grant ( must get matching funds to begin) to start our next four new rooms of which will be a new cat addition, so we will not have to put new cats in with the long term healthy residents and kittens can have their own space, there will be a new outdoor enclosed exercise area for them and also a grooming room/storage room and a spay and neuter room so to make it easier for our pets to have surgery done and cut down on the stress involved in the process of having this done.
ANGEL PLAQUES
We are still doing our Angel Plaque and for $50.00 you can have a memorial and or in honor plate listed on the plaque. For more info on either of these contact the shelter during our hours of operation. Thank-you to all who have donated!!!!!!!
