Creating Paw-sitive Bonds & Forever Homes
At the Animal Orphanage, we’re passionate about giving animals a second chance at a happy, healthy life.
From rescue to adoption, we help thousands of lost or abandoned animals in our community find food, care, and a loving forever home.
We’re dedicated to reuniting pets with their owners or helping them find new families, ensuring both animals and people experience the joy of unconditional love.

💛 215 Days and Still Waiting: Orion Needs a Place to Call Home 💛
Orion is a gentle, sensitive soul who has been with us for 215 days—waiting patiently for someone to see her quiet beauty and give her a chance. Life hasn’t always been easy for this sweet girl. People and noisy places can still feel scary to her, but deep down, Orion just wants to feel safe, loved, and understood.
We believe that in the right calm and peaceful home—where she can have plenty of space and time to come out of her shell—Orion will truly shine. She would do best as the only pet and in a home without children, so she can relax and build trust at her own pace.
Orion’s story is one of courage and hope. She may be shy now, but with gentle patience, she will become a loyal and loving companion who treasures every quiet moment by your side.
If you have room in your heart and home to help Orion feel safe and loved, she will thank you with a lifetime of quiet devotion.
