The Orange County Animal Shelter always has cats and dogs in need of good homes, and somtimes other animals. There is always a need for volunteers to help give the cats and dogs the TLC that they need so much when moved from their prior home into a stressful shelter situation.  Foster homes are always needed.  Let the  shelter director or OC Humane Society know that you want to volunteer, and that we sent you. Let your area's representative on the OC Board of Directors know that you support the the community's homeless pets and expect only the best of care for all of them.  If your request for help is ever turned down, we may be able to help.  Thanks!

The HOWS Project provides safe dog houses, bedding, and other help for dogs (and other species) who are kept outside.  They work out of Charlotteville, but provide for animals in surrounding counties, as well.  Their dedicated members have helped many dogs live more comfortably outside, and have found homes for some so they can live indoors with a family.  They work carefully with the dogs' owners to help them provide more humane care for their pets.  Please do consider support their efforts by donating or volunteering.

ARME's Beagle Freedom Project is a national group working to reduce, the use of animals in research and to place them in loving homes.  Their link is: http://beaglefreedomporject.org.  

Most of this research is unnecessary and causes great distress and suffering to the animals used as test subjects.  They live very deprived lives.  They are used over and over again, often only to be killed in the end.  BFP works to have these dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. released into their care, so they can be adopted into a normal family life.  Please join us in supporting BFP & purchasing only "Cruelty Free" products.  Down load their "Cruelty-Cutter" App to get started.  Thanks you!
