Your chances of finding a wonderful companion who matches your lifestyle, family, and home are excellen
t! Many people think a “second-hand” pet means second-rate. On the contrary, many shelter animals seem to sense what they were up against and become among the most devoted and grateful companions. Often animals end up in shelters because of circumstances beyond their control. They’re victims of a death, illness, divorce, or a move that didn’t include them. For others being homeless is all they have ever known. The simple fact is that there are many more animals needing adoption than there are homes. So when you adopt from a shelter, you become part of the solution to the overpopulation crisis. You give a deserving animal a new home and a second chance at life.
“Adoptable Animals at the Oak Ridge Shelter” is operated by a small group of very dedicated volunteers. We work closely with the shelter staff to provide comfort and care to the animals as they patiently wait for a forever home. It is our greatest desire to help place as many of the shelter animals as possible in loving homes, but often the amount of homeless animals exceed the amount of adoptions. Because we believe every adoptable animal deserves a second chance, we work to promote fostering, encourage sponsorship and placement of shelter animals with appropriate rescues. We are passionate about helping the homeless animals in our shelter find a better life. Please join us in our efforts by following and sharing our page. Oak Ridge Animal Shelter Information
