Upcoming Events

Paws and Pajamas Foster Open House!
Paws & Pajamas – Foster Open House!
Join us March 21st & 22nd at the main shelter (2200 Riverwoods Road, Riverwoods) for Paws & Pajamas, a cozy Foster Open House at Orphans of the Storm! Come learn about our foster program, meet adoptable dogs and cats dressed in their pajamas, and see how fostering can make a real difference.
Not sure if fostering a dog is right for you? Try a Saturday night sleepover — take a dog home Saturday evening and return Sunday! They’ll already be dressed for the occasion!
Stop by, ask questions, meet our team, and meet some very cozy, very adoptable AND fosterable pets!
While cats aren’t included in sleepovers, there are some available for longer-term foster placements!
For more information, reach out to our foster team at foster@orphansofthestorm.org
