Upcoming Events
We’re excited to share that Orphans of the Storm is once again participating in #EmptytheShelters thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation!
From July 5th–July 19th, adoption fees for all pets 6 months and older will be just $70.
This lifesaving event gives more animals the chance to find loving homes — and we’re hoping this summer is the fresh start so many of our dogs and cats have been waiting for.
📍Visit us at our main shelter or our Hawthorn Mall Adoption Center to meet your future best friend.
Let’s empty some kennels and fill some homes!
