Rescue FAQs

Founded by Claudia Vecchio and Corinne Thaw in 2002, ORA-Organization for the Rescue of Animals is a grassroots charitable organization, 100% volunteer based and strictly no-kill, promoting the humane treatment of all animals and the preservation of wildlife. (www.ora-animalrescue.org) Our name, Organization for the Rescue of Animals, was selected so that its abbreviation would spell O.R.A. In Latin, ora means "pray." Working for the animals can be a unifying element for humans, above any social, religious or economic differences. When you work (labore) for the animals out of compassion and love, you are in harmony and in peace with nature. ORA's mandate essentially promotes the preservation of wildlife and its habitat. By becoming more sensitive and empathetic towards the plight of animals in our modern world, we humans can learn to become more sensitive and empathetic toward each other, thereby eliminating many problems, and human suffering, caused by intransigency and insensitivity. This credo, universally shared by our members and volunteers alike, is the foundation of all of ORA’s actions and intentions. ORA's animal rescues thrive within a network of foster homes until they are adopted out into forever loving homes. 100% volunteer run, with zero government funding and no shelter to speak of, ORA relies solely upon the supportive generosity of members and donors to fund our programs and rescue operations.
