Hello Friends and Supporters, On the heels of COVID and a successful 2020, ORHS welcomes in the New Year. Last year, volunteers dedicated over 10,000 hours of their time to help save the lives
of cats and dogs in our community. The commitment of our volunteers is at the core of what drives the success at ORHS. Those hours contributed to the lifesaving efforts of 508 shelter animal intakes, 474 adoptions, and will serve as a springboard to the new year. Of the 508 shelter animal intakes, 139 of those animals were pulls from local animal controls. Saving animals from our local animal welfare organizations will continue to be an ORHS focus. In the fall of 2020 ORHS launched a successful campaign rescuing dogs with heartworm disease raising over $10,000. This coming year ORHS will continue our efforts to save the lives of heartworm positive dogs accompanied with educating those in our community of the dangers of this disease and the success of preventatives. As part of our food distribution program, for the year 2020 ORHS distributed approximately 3000 and 5000 pounds of cat and dog food respectively. On a monthly average 284 families received the food. Two highlights this year were the wonderful adoptions of special needs ORHS shelter cats Gigi and Miles. Both cats were FIV positive, which is an autoimmune disease in cats commonly requiring additional care and to live in homes as single residents. Cats with FIV are often overlooked in the shelter but with a concerted effort on education, we were able to find both new homes. As ORHS moves forward into a new year we will continue to save the lives of cats and dogs in our community while being resourceful in our approach. All of this would not be possible without the daily contributions of our volunteers and for that the animals in our community are truly blessed. Thank you for all that you do and Happy New Year! Josh

We would like to Thank all of you in our community for supporting us and working with
us as we all found ways to make the best of things and constantly adjusted to the
unexpected and difficult challenges presented by coronavirus pandemic. Thank you!
From the volunteers who helped with day-to-day routines; to the people who made
donations in support of our operations; to those of you who kept your pets safe and sound
at home so they didn’t put an extra strain on our shelter; and the community who
patiently followed the latest but ever-changing guidelines related to physical distancing
and face coverings that have helped keep us all safe and healthy. Thank You again!
We just cannot thank our dedicated volunteers enough for showing up to care for our
dogs and cats, walk the dogs, take ever so important photos for adoption postings, clean
kennels / litter boxes and support our various programs. Staff and volunteers at ORHS
are superstars and are adapting to the new normal.
The year 2020 has not been easy for any of us, and we send warm thoughts to everyone
affected by the Coronavirus. Please stay safe until this crisis has passed and remember
that we are all in it together. You can still hug your pet!
To the staff who have worked tirelessly to provide the best service possible throughout
COVID-19, we are grateful.

Dealing With Our New Normal With the world focused on protecting its human populations during the COVID-19 pandemic, it can often
be easy to overlook those looking out for our four-legged friends at ORHS. Despite staff and volunteer
shortages at times and health-related operating protocols, ORHS stayed strong and continued to offer
limited operations during the pandemic. But more importantly, we learned several new “normals” for the
way our organization will continue to operate. While our staff and volunteers try to maintain proper
social distancing and ensure they stay safe for their families, they have been challenged in trying to figure
out this new normal. Below you will read how we overcame the challenges of COVID-19 and continue to
do so.
Our Adoption Center and Operations As of March 30, 2020, ORHS closed the shelter to the public and all meet and greets were by
appointments only. Every visitor, volunteer and staff was expected to sanitize their hands and wear masks
at all times while at our facility. Adult dog adoption meet and greets were conducted outside whenever
possible and while puppy adoptions remained inside. We also limited the number of volunteers and
everyone maintained social distancing. Many meetings were virtual. Except for one, a handful of in
person fundraisers were conducted with best social distancing practices in place.
Adoptions We adjusted our adoption processes to keep everyone safe while continuing to adopt out animals. Our
adoptions were only done at the shelter during this time. We used our website and Social Media to
showcase many of our animals, so that potential adopters could see them in the comfort of their own
homes. We posted wonderful pictures with detailed descriptions of the animals, including their quirks,
behaviors, and what type of household would be best for them. These detailed descriptions were compiled
from observations of our staff and volunteers. As people found animals on our website they were able to
simply submit their application online and someone got back to them shortly. Screening of applications
was done over the phone. Once the staff and the adopter felt good about the adoption, an appointment
was made for a meet and greet with the animal and the new family members. Shelter operations
continued strong even though short staffed, but all were committed to keeping the animals cared for
during the worst pandemic in most of our lifetimes.
Foster Care From the beginning of this uncertain time, we reached out to many for foster care of our animals.
We had 200 animals in foster care this year !!!

Miles came to ORHS as a local stray adult cat in March of 2020. Upon arrival, he tested positive for Feline Influenza Virus (FIV) but was asymptomatic. In order to ensure our other cats would be safe from potential spread of the virus, Miles became our newest "lobby cat". This role fit him nicely, as he tends to take up an entire bed or chair all on his own and enjoys long uninterrupted naps. Some of us referred to him as a bear rather than a cat! It turns out that being an asymptomatic FIV lobby cat at ORHS was serendipitous for Miles. After months of daily quality time with Miles, our Office Administrator, Tammy Ellis, adopted him in November. Tammy tells us that he fits right into his new home, as if he's always lived there. Thank you, Tammy, for giving this FIVpositive adult a forever, loving home!

Every adoption at ORHS has its own unique story; whether it is to fill the void from the loss of a family pet, or to start a new family. Finding the right pet to adopt takes time, consideration and commitment.
What each has in common is the feeling of hope and ultimately finding love as a family searches for that special pet who will fill in a missing piece of the family puzzle. Here is just one of many stories showcasing the love found in 2020. Lacy lost her first home when her owners had to move and couldn’t take her with them. Well loved and cared for, she had been raised to be a wonderful family pet, but found herself suddenly without a family. A young adult pit-mix, Lacy immediately became a favorite with all the volunteers. Arriving in new and strange surroundings, Lacy was not at all bothered by the barking of her new neighbors or the hustle of people coming and going. She sat, watched and waited. Lacy loved when someone would sit in her crate with her, let her crawl in their lap and give her belly rubs. She loved going for walks, and playing in the yard. But she missed having a home and that special someone to cuddle with all the time. It broke our hearts to see Lacy overlooked day after day. We knew how wonderful she was. We had to wait for someone else to see that as well. We know that it can take time, and a bit of luck for that perfect match to show itself. We were confident that someone was out there for our Lacy. And there was! Someone was watching Lacy, loving the pictures and the stories on Facebook; it just wasn’t the right time. Then one day, while checking on Lacy updates, the timing seemed right. There was a hole in this woman’s heart that was ready to be filled, and she was confident that Lacy was the only one to fill it. Taking a chance with her heart, and Lacy’s, they spent a weekend getting to know each other. It didn’t take long for Lacy to fill the void in both heart and home. Although we know that a pet can not replace the loss of another, they can add love to a family needing it. Lacy did just that. With patience and hope… Lacy now named Lady, found her forever home, and one family found love again!

Lily, our new Dog Program Manager comes to us with a great deal
of experience and we are excited to have her join our ORHS
team! She started her career in animal welfare as a volunteer and
along the way has worn the hats of adoption counselor, foster &
off-site coordinator, veterinary technician assistant, and road
officer. In her first few months with ORHS she has completed
successful adoptions, placed animals in foster homes, collaborated
with other local animal welfare agencies to facilitate
transfer intakes, and jumped right in to help in any way necessary.
Please join us in welcoming Lily to ORHS family. We are thrilled to have her !

Increase community outreach where it’s needed now more than ever – vaccination clinics, spay/neuter programs and community education.
Enrichment programs for animals in our care. We may not have the facility or capacity to take on serious cat and dog rehabilitation, but we can make a difference to each of our animals by offering a number of enrichment plans.
Collaboration with Rescue organizations in the area for community programs, grants and adoptions.
Have you thought of adding some new and different resolutions to your traditional New Year’s list? Have you ever thought of getting involved in the world of animal rescue, but didn’t quite know how?
If you’re looking for some New Year’s Resolutions to try, we have a few suggestions.
Socialize more – Get to know our animals, their quirks, their silly personalities or their fears. Help us figure out what they need most.
Follow our FaceBook page, “like” us, “comment” and “share” our postings on a daily basis, and vote for us in every Lake Community competition.
Let our animals help you with your fitness goals – join our Ramblers and get your steps in! Play tag or run laps in our dog yard. Go on field trips.
Get involved and get others involved. Let our animals improve your mood as you provide enrichment for them.
Make a difference – Share your talents - check our volunteer opportunities and see where you might fit in.
Be a foster parent for ORHS.
Setting New Year's Resolutions is a time-honored tradition, and here are ours…….

ORHS would not be able to help homeless animals if it weren’t for volunteers. Volunteers are the backbone since they provide helping hands in many different areas. From training, to walking, to feeding, to office work, to driving, to running adoption events, to fundraising to fostering, we would not be able to save animals without our caring volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering with us, here are some things to expect.
Yes, you will want to save them all. There will be some sick, frightened dogs, puppies, cats & kittens in the shelter and it will be hard not to cuddle them up in your car and bring them home. As a volunteer, you are doing what you can within your limits to get these animals to a safe, happy home. Nothing is more joyful than when a previously sick and abused animal goes home with a family you know will care for them. The day when they finally find homes are the days you realize it is worth every minute !!
Volunteering at ORHS is extremely fulfilling for the soul. We guarantee if you have a love for animals, we have a spot for you! We’re often asked how much of a commitment is involved with being a ORHS volunteer. WE ARE VERY FLEXIBLE, allowing you to sign up whenever you are available.
We provide the training you need to feel confident and competent, and then you tell us when and which area you would like to help. It’s that easy! Are you only in town part-time or don’t want to commit to a job schedule? Some opportunities include: cleaning, feeding, socializing and dog walking. There is always laundry, dishes, organizing towels/toys - who doesn’t have
experience doing that??
If you are more of a “people person”, we can always use help at the front desk, greeting potential adopters
and answering phones.
Are you techy? Computer skills are always appreciated. Newsletters, articles, and educational materials
are important to share with the community.
Fundraising is a crucial factor in being able to maintain our shelter. If you have fresh ideas and a creative
streak, this one is for you!
YOUNG VOLUNTEERS We love young volunteers, but we do have age limits. All volunteers under age 18
need to have a parent with them whenever they volunteer at the shelter.
Fostering a dog or cat is a great way to get your furry fix and help to socialize a pet in preparation for a
forever home. More on fostering on the next page.
Do you like taking photos? We love getting current/personal pictures of our residents to share on social
media.
Perhaps best of all, you will be hard pressed to find a more passionate and fun group of volunteers.
There is a spot for you at ORHS !!! Learn more by going to I want to volunteer at ORHS.

Maybe you travel, and don’t want a “permanent” pet. Or maybe you are considering adopting, but aren’t sure if a puppy/kitten is right for you. Whatever your reason, you are sure to find that fostering is one of the most rewarding volunteer experiences there is. You’ll be amazed how much you help the animals and how gratifying it is.
Did you know you can foster just for a weekend? This gives the animals a much needed break from the shelter environment, offers some needed socialization, and allows you to learn important things about the foster animal that is helpful for their adoptions.
How Do Animals Benefit From Foster Care?
Life in the shelter environment can be quite a big change for some of our animals and they may need extra care and attention.
Some need a break if they’ve been in the shelter for a while. Because we are a “spay/neuter-before-adoption” shelter,
some young animals need time to grow before their surgery. Many newborn animals need special care, like bottle-feeding. By being socialized, the animals have better chances of
finding loving forever homes. Whatever the reason, these animals need some extra love and care before they can be adopted. What a wonderful, selfless and loving way to help save homeless animals !
HOW TO BECOME A FOSTER PARENT…... It’s easy.
Go to our website at www.orhspets.org and learn more about fostering for ORHS. Fill out the application at the bottom of the page. We provide food, blankets, meds, toys. You provide your time, love and cuddles!

On August 15th we launched our first “Heart to Heart” campaign, to raise funds to treat our heartworm positive rescues. This year alone we took in 11 heart worm positive dogs. Heartworm treatment ranges from $500 —$1,000 per dog. Our goal for the campaign was to raise $10,000 which would allow us to annually treat at least 20 heart worm positive dogs. WE MET OUR GOAL !!!
The generosity of our donors means so much to dogs like Georgia, Bellamy, Dudley, Sadie and so many others. Without treatment, heartworm can be a fatal disease. We are humbled and amazed by the abundance of love and support our donors show for our furry friends.
In September we launched The Rescue Readers Program. This program is designed to help our younger supporters give back to the animals in our community while developing their reading skills and their sense of compassion. It also promotes animal-savvy behavior, and helps our cats get positive, calm time with children. The program is open to children ages 6-12 who wish to practice their reading skills by reading loud to cats at our adoption center. Cats provide a non-judgmental and enthusiastic audience as they are soothed by the rhythmic sound of the children reading stories. The children have the freedom to select their own reading material. ORHS has a stash of books but the readers may bring their own books if
they prefer. The cats do not care about a child's reading level or taste in genre—they will simply enjoy the soothing sounds of a child reading to them. To date, 23 Rescue Readers have enrolled in the program !!! To participate please call ORHS at 706-454-1508.

The dog walking group at ORHS was born from a need seen by volunteer, Dipti Steele. She saw the need to socialize the dogs and get them some much needed fresh air.
She made a request on Facebook for a group to gather at 8:30 am to take whatever dogs were at the shelter on a walk around the neighborhood while the enclosures were being cleaned. This turned out to be a real win-win-win situation - exercise for the dogs (and
walkers), easier cleaning for the volunteers, and wonderful friendships created by the like-minded dog lovers.
The group took on the name, River’s Ramblers, after one of the dogs who often came with his owner to walk. River had suffered complications from poor nutrition and from a parasite as a very young puppy and lost flexibility in his back legs – but it certainly does not slow him down! He is the group’s official mascot!
Every morning, rain or shine, the Ramblers show up at ORHS – ready to harness the dogs and head out on a walk. Besides learning to walk properly on a leash, the dogs are also taught simple commands, such as sit and down ,and are socialized with humans and other dogs – making them even more adoptable. The Ramblers also get to know the dogs and report on their personalities and perhaps challenges. Of course, many times a bond is made between Rambler and dog and in 2020, 7 of these dogs were adopted to Ramblers.
Cleaning up The Community…..Once a month this group also fills bags with litter collected along their walking path.
This group made some beautiful warm blankets for the doggies.
The group now numbers over 20 members.
If you would like to learn more about walking with the Ramblers, contact us at [email protected].
We have built some great friendships over walking and observing ORHS dogs.

We took Smokey into our shelter in the beginning of November. Day in and day out, other
dogs were adopted, and Smokey waited.
We don’t quite understand why sometimes a dog is overlooked, when to us they are
absolutely perfect. Smokey is an 8-year-old terrier mix who has good energy. Don't let his
grey muzzle fool you. Curious and playful, he loves to run (and bounce) around the yard,
stopping only to sniff and investigate
everything in his path.
Smokey is housebroken, leash trained, and
sleeps through the night. He will make
someone’s family complete.
Here is a “pupdate” from Smokey’s foster
family… “…Smokey loves looking out at the
lake, is a perfect copilot on car rides, and
will do just about anything for belly rubs!
He is happiest spooning on the couch,
resting his chin on your knee when you are
working from home and soliciting belly
rubs. He takes his belly rubs very seriously and will physically place your hand on the sweet
spot! Smokey sailed smoothly into home-life by catching on quickly with house training,
crate training and knowing which parts of the home he is invited. Smokey sleeps quietly in
his crate at night but admits he would rather sleep on his other bed or with his human.”

Long-term ORHS resident cat, Zuri came to ORHS as
an owner surrender in 2015. He was only a little kitten
then, so most of his 6 years have been spent with us,
waiting for his forever home.
Everyone at ORHS knows and adores Zuri. He's a
sweetheart who loves to cuddle and enjoys good head
rubs.
He's truly the most handsome, manliest cat you'll
probably ever see-with a magnificent jawline.
From ORHS volunteer Karen Sawinski: "Every
Thursday during my feeding shift at ORHS. I sit on the
floor with Zuri while he eats. It's a whole thing: he eats
a little, then comes to me for head rubs, then goes back
for more food, then back again for purrs and attention.
He's such an affectionate cat who would love to have
his own forever home. He deserves it."
