ORCA - Organization for Responsible Care of Animals

ORCA - Organization for Responsible Care of Animals ORCA'S primary goal is to rescue any ill, injured, or in-distress animal, in Lancaster County. This is why donations are so VITALLY important.

It is the purpose of ORCA to respond 24 hours a day to emergencies, and to provide support to police, fire, and other emergency personnel when they are dealing with situations that involve animals. ORCA does not routinely handle healthy stray animals and wildlife, nor does it routinely shelter animals. Please bear in mind that ORCA is currently the ONLY group in Lancaster County that provides emer

gency services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to help our area animals, free of charge!! If you would like to send us a monetary donation, please check out our website. We also routinely update our Amazon Wish-List with our currents needs for the office. If you would like to drop it off personally, please call our hotline to set up a time to do so. Amazon Wish-List

We have a heart breaking update on Monti, the sweet puppy who was left alone in a dumpster.
When we brought Monti in, he sounded absolutely terrible. He was taken to the vet where they prescribed him antibiotics, although he was very sick the prognosis seemed to be quite good.
Last night after a day of playing and being his sweet puppy self, Monti’s condition took an extreme turn. One of our staffers noticed he was not acting like himself and he was rushed to the ER. Monti had pneumonia, and his lungs were quickly filling with fluid. He was put on oxygen and we agreed for him to be hospitalized until his condition improved. Unfortunately at around 1 am last night we got the call that Monti was losing the fight against fate. The ER vets did absolutely everything they could to stabilize him , but his body was so small.

We still don’t know who left him out there alone in the cold to suffer in the trash, but we do know that his passing is on their hands. Monti is a perfect example of how animal abandonment does nothing but cause heart break. If you see something , say something. We are so sorry Monti. We did eveything we could, and you were SO loved. 🐾🌈

This is Monti 🐾 This sweet boy was found abandoned in a dumpster on South Prince St. in Lancaster City. We have no idea how long he was in there alone and in the cold , but as soon as ORCA got the call one of our dedicated staff members rushed to the scene. Now that he’s safe, warm, fed and most importantly medicated he’s doing much better. However , animal abandonment is a very serious crime , and Monti deserves justice. If you have any tips, saw anything or recognize this pup please reach out to us at our hotline -> 717-397-8922. We appreciate you!!

We are in need of several donations, litter, all types of cat and dog food, and donations towards medical care for Monti and the many other sick animals in our care. Anything helps , even just a share or a comment for visibility! ❤️
