Today is World Mental Health Day and we know pets have a positive impact on our mental health! Bonding with animals has positive influences on blood pressure and heart rate. It also produces chemical messengers and hormones in our bodies (like dopamine) that are correlated with regulating and improving overall wellbeing. Pet ownership has generally been shown to reduce stress and anxiety.
Chester is the sweetie in this photo. We love seeing him flopped across someone's lap. He knows how to relax with his people and he makes us feel good. 🥰 (Chester,️ ID: A246953)

Another day, another playgroup! Today, we had a great time testing Betty, Honey Bee, Tucker, Ray, Noodle and Chester. They all had a great time getting their zoomies out and getting to just play with other dogs.

While they all did great, it's always important to keep in mind that slow and proper meet and greets are key and that not all dogs will get along. Like people, not all dog personalities match. Interested in seeing if your dog works with an OCAS dog? Ask us about setting up a meet and greet!

Tank and Sully are a fabulous feline duo and they'd love to be adopted together if you're ready for some new best friends. These boys are SUPER friendly, only about 9 months old, and SUPER ready to get into their new home! 😺😺 We're not requiring that they go together because they love people and we think they will do really well as long as they get love and attention from their people...but just look at these two faces! They stand together at their door and sing to me every morning. 🥰 Added bonus for anyone looking to adopt: CATS & DOGS ARE ONLY $25 DURING OCTOBER! (IDs A248433, A248434).
Visit https://www.orangecountync.gov/287/Available-Pets for more information about pets and adopting. We open at 10am!

You've probably seen us posting cute photos of Noodle. He's such a good dog - a staff and volunteer favorite at our shelter. He also happens to be an example of how heartworm treatment saves lives! He's undergoing treatment for heartworms and we want to be able to help more amazing dogs like Noodle!
In North Carolina, it's unfortunately common to see many dogs that are infected with heartworms (they are transmitted by mosquito bites). We've had a LOT of dogs come into our shelter recently that need treatment and it's expensive. With your support, we can help more dogs with this disease - resulting in healthier dogs that are even more likely to get adopted. $250 usually covers the cost of diagnostics and treatment for one dog, giving that dog a second chance at a healthy, happy life. As of today, we've only raised $240 and we need your help. Please consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign (https://gofund.me/c3f10ebe0) or stop by to donate at our shelter in Chapel Hill. Thank you for helping us save lives! 🐶

There's a lot of buzz about Honey Bee! 😉🥰
"Honey Bee is a gem!! She is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. We went on lots of long walks and she kept up great but was also down to lay down beside me and nap. Honey Bee loves everyone!! She never met a stranger, seriously. No matter who it was she was always looking for pets and kisses. Anyone would be lucky to add her to the family!"

HUGE THANKS to The Chapel of the Cross Episcopal Church in Chapel Hill!
They delivered a large donation as part of the church’s yearly efforts to honor St. Francis of Assisi. The church holds a service of thanksgiving and blessing of the community’s pets, furry, feathered, and scaly. 🥰 The church’s Creation Care Committee sponsored a pet food and supply drive in conjunction with this celebration.
We appreciate their generosity and support for shelter pets! 🤩

"Miss 'Roxie' Roxanne is a sweet, fun-loving girl who’s always ready for adventure! From the moment she hopped in the car, she showed her silly side, rolling around the back seat and sticking her head out of the window to take in all the smells. At the farm, Roxie was so happy to run, explore, and play off leash, always circling back to check in. She lit up meeting Mojo and Cookie, the Great Pyrenees pups, and happily raced alongside them at the fence. She even got curious about the alpacas, though her excitement made it clear it was time for a trail walk instead! Roxie is strong on leash but quickly settled into a good rhythm, taking in all the sights with enthusiasm. Afterward, she napped soundly in the car, which I took as a sign of a successful day out! This sweet girl would thrive in a home filled with love, play, and plenty of adventures."❤
