DID YOU KNOW… in 2024 5.8 million dogs and cats entered animal shelters around the US. With that staggering number, our local shelters need all the help they can get. Aside from donating to Oakley’s Operation Santa Paws, you can also volunteer at your local shelter! Donating your time is also a very much needed gift.
