So appealing

Orphans of the Storm, one of Illinois’ most respected animal shelters, broke all previous adoption records in 2017 by finding loving homes for 1,583 dogs and 1,086 cats. Between its two primary locations, as well as satellite locations and off-site adoption events, the grand total of adoptions surpassed 2016 totals by 142 dogs and 88 cats. The month of August was particularly successful, with 204 homes found for dogs and 145 homes found for cats.

So pretty

 

This animal shelter has taken its mission to take responsibility for each and every orphaned, abandoned, abused or neglected dog and cat that reaches its doors to previously unattained levels in 2017. Over the course of the shelter’s 90-year history, beginning in 1928, more than 120,000 pets have become beloved additions to families.

A great look

“We are overjoyed and grateful for the support the community has offered our shelter by providing loving homes to the cats and dogs that are brought to us. As we embark on our 90th anniversary, we are determined to continue to create happy lives for our animals and their owners,” said Gail Donahue, Shelter Administrator.

 

Orphans of the Storm’s main shelter is in Riverwoods, near Deerfield. In May of 2016, Orphans of the Storm expanded to Highland Park with their store-front location.  The shelter provides exceptional shelter, nutrition and medical care for each furry friend it takes in.
