Things We Do
The Orange County Humane Society is involved in a
number of activities that help animals…
Our
volunteers go to the animal shelter on a regular basis and bathe animals, brush
dogs and cats, walk dogs, and spend time interacting with the animals.
Volunteers can assist with some office work, or help clean cat cages. The Orange County Animal
Shelter is located at 11362 Porter Rd., Orange, VA 22960.
Phone: 540-672-1124.
This is a great volunteer opportunity for teenagers too!
We
take shelter dogs to the PetSmart Store at Central Park in Fredericksburg every Saturday and Sunday from
11:00-4:30 for
adoption. The program has been immensely successful and hundreds of dogs have
been adopted
this way. There are cats for adoption at the Central Park
(Fredericksburg), Massaponax, Culpeper (Bragg's Corner) and Manassas (Bull Run) PetSmarts seven days a
week.
We
have a group of volunteers that transport cats to the various PetSmart stores
for adoption, including the Manassas store twice a week.
We
have a group of weekly volunteers that photograph the dogs and cats up for
adoption and submit the photos to the local newspaper, and add them to
Petfinder.com.
We
raise money to help shelter animals in need. Some of the ways we raise money
are through our
adoption program, fundraisers such as Pet Pictures with Santa at PetSmart, and our
50/50 raffle.
We work to support legislative issues that will get animals spayed and neutered
and will help to end animal cruelty.
We transport animals that need veterinary care to local vets and many of our
members foster dogs and cats who need some extra TLC or are recovering from surgery.
We are always looking for more ideas for fund raisers. If you have a project idea or would just like to help, we would love to hear from you.
