There is a place in our community that feeds the hungry, shelters the homeless and comforts the abandoned.
It is the Orleans County Animal Shelter.
It is the Orleans County Animal Shelter.
Won't you consider taking home a
lovable forever friend?
If you cannot give one of our
animals a loving home, please consider a donation of cat and dog food, kitty
litter, money or your time as a volunteer. You won't regret it!
We have some great dogs and cats who are looking for their forever homes. Please if you are able, open your heart and your home to these homeless pets. You will get back unconditional love a million times over and then some!!

I Rescued a Human Today
...by Janine Allen
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels.
I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.
I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.
As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident
I had in the back of my cage.
I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today.
Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and
I didn't want her to think poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past.
I only have the future to look forward to and
want to make a difference in someone's life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me.
I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her.
Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.
A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that
I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe.
I would promise to always be by her side.
I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.
I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor.
So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors.
So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.
