My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Hello everyone! This is Loretta and she is a brindle beauty. She was found wandering around someone`s yard with her sister, Dolly, and they were picked up and brought to OCAS. Since both dogs were found as strays, we do not know much about their history. Loretta is a little more reserved than her siste. It may take some time for Loretta to adjust to changes in her life, so she would benefit from a home who can be patient with her while she learns to trust her surroundings and the people/things in it. But she has proven to be a sweet, gentle lady once she warms up a bit. She just needs a chance to become familiar with new people and places. We always recommend slow and monitored introductions with new people or other pets in the home. You can find more information about adopting, visiting our facility, and contacting our adoption desk at www.orangecountync.gov/287/Available-Pets.

Additional adoption info

Please visit http://www.orangecountync.gov/287/Available-Pets if you have questions about available pets, adopting, or visiting our facility. You may also call 919-942-7387, option 3, to speak with a staff member at our adoption desk.
If the staff is unable to answer right away, please leave a clear message with your full name and contact number. Our staff responds to messages in the order they are received. Every effort will be made to respond to messages the same day, but it is possible that you may not receive a callback until the next business day due to the high volume of calls we often receive. See our operating hours on our website.

-Adopting-
Some animals can be taken home the same day they are adopted, but those adoptions must occur before a certain time of day and are dependent upon several factors. If you are interested in taking a pet home on the same day you adopt, please consult with the adoption desk to find out if that pet is able to go home right away. See more information on adoption and adoption fees on our website.
