The organizers of Little Orphan Animals have been providing loving services to the Hudson Valley for more than 17 years. LOA describes itself as "a non-profit, all volunteer, no-kill animal rescue group" with services that include finding permanent homes for pets in need, rescuing and rehabilitation. LOA also recently opened up a thrift store near the corner of Washington Street and Welcher Avenue that sells books, collectibles, clothing, toys and more. Be sure to stop in or visit LOA's website for adoption information or to volunteer.
