The North Shore is home to one of the oldest and largest animal shelters in the country. Orphans of the Storm, located on Riverwoods Road, is an oasis for stray and abandoned dogs and cats. The shelter's grounds are lush with vegetation, and the volunteers couldn't be more inviting and passionate about their work there. Unfortunately, these animals can't stay here forever. The shelter adopts out thousands of dogs and cats and is always looking to provide them with new loving homes.
