Organization for the Responsible Care of Animals

ORCA'S primary goal is to rescue any ill, injured, or in-distress animal, in Lancaster County. We aim to rehabilitate these animals and find loving homes for them. We also provide information on animal-related problems through our Animal-Alert Hotline, 717-397-8922. It is the purpose of ORCA to respond 24 hours a day to animal emergencies, and to provide support to police, fire, and other emergency personnel when they are dealing with situations that involve animals. While we cannot rehabilitate wildlife, we do assist in capturing and transporting injured or sick wildlife to the closest certified wildlife rehabilitation center. In 2023, we responded to 550 emergency calls!
