Thank YOU for Your Continued Support! |
Due to COVD-19, we are unable to host our annual End of Summer Volunteer Appreciation Event. Our years of service pins were to be presented during National Volunteer Week last April.

Towels Needed! |
Because of COVID, our usually steady donations of towels has dropped off considerably, and we are now finding ourselves short. Our experience reaching out for towels after the tornado tells us that we could be overwhelmed beyond our capacity if we made a plea to the entire community. So, we are hoping our wonderful volunteers might have towels around the house that they don't need or use.
If you, or your friends and family are able to provide some towels, we will have staff on hand to accept physically distanced donations on Tuesday, Sept. 29 from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 3, between 1:30 and 4:30 a.m.. Please come to the side delivery (double) doors where staff will greet you.
Thank you for this and everything you do for the OHS and the animals in our care.
