Hoarder Kittens

We recently took in 15+ kittens from a hoarding situation and sadly, these little ones arrived in desperate need of help. Nearly every kitten came to us sick with an upper respiratory infection —sneezing, congested, runny eyes, and feeling miserable. They needed immediate medical attention, medications, supportive care, and lots of TLC to get them on the road to recovery.

Rocky

Rocky’s story is a sad one. He ended up in the shelter not because his family didn’t love him but because they received a bad medical diagnosis. They could no longer care for him and wanted to do what was best for him. At just 9 months old rocky still has his entire life ahead of him!

Ace

Meet this amazing 1-year-old, 65-pound boy named Ace who has already shown us what it truly means to have a heart of gold. He was found as a stray, but he wasn’t alone. A group of dumped puppies had gathered together for warmth and safety—and this gentle giant allowed them to huddle underneath, using his own body heat to keep them safe and warm.

TNR Kitty

While doing TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) for a colony of approximately 30 cats, we discovered six social kittens of varying ages who were too young, too friendly, and simply too deserving to be left behind. Their mom was safely TNR’d, but these kittens needed something different—a chance at life beyond the colony. So we stepped in and took all six kittens into our rescue. Now they are safe, but their rescue journey is just beginning. These little ones will need veterinary exams, vaccines, testing, deworming, spay/neuter when age appropriate, food, litter, and plenty of love and care while they grow.

Gretta & Pups

Gretta and her tiny puppies were found abandoned in the woods. They were in terrible condition and mama Gretta was so malnourished that she was barely producing any milk for her babies. The runt weighed just half a pound. One of our southern partners stepped up to take them in but they need your help getting to the next leg of their journey. They’re gaining weight and getting stronger everyday.

Betty

Betty has spent her entire 7 years of life giving her owners litter after litter of puppies. When she could no longer do that she was dumped at the shelter like discarded trash. Her new beginning starts now, a chance for her to finally live the life of a normal dog instead of a breeding machine.

Piglet

Sweet Piglet is a French Bulldog whose family could no longer care for her, leaving her at a rural shelter. During her evaluation, Piglet was found to have a grade 3 out of 6 heart murmur. She needs to see a veterinary specialist to determine exactly what is going on with her heart and what care she may need moving forward. Unfortunately, the rural shelter where Piglet is currently located does not have access to the specialist she needs. That’s where rescue comes in. We want to bring Piglet into our care, get her the advanced veterinary evaluation she needs, and make sure she receives the treatment and support necessary to give her the best chance at a healthy, happy life. But we can’t do it alone.

Anna & Pups

Anna and her 5 puppies were brought in after being found living in deplorable conditions. Anna has spent most of her life living outdoors on a chain so tight it started to become embedded into her neck. She gave everything she had to caring for her 5 young puppies. With your help Anna and her pups will never know what’s it’s like to live outside again.

Harry

Harry has not had the best start to his young life. He was dumped in a shelter due to not breeding the other dogs like the breeder wanted. He is only 6 months old and deserves to be more than a money making machine. He has a chance to come to OPH and put the breeding life behind him.

Gillian

This precious 7-month-old puppy was found running loose with six other dogs as a stray in an extremely rural area. With no family coming forward and limited resources available nearby, this young dog is now depending on rescue for safety, care, and a second chance. At just seven months old, this puppy should be learning, playing, and growing up in a loving home—not trying to survive on the streets.
