OC Animal Care has expanded their stock of resources available for the community with the arrival of two fully stocked Pet Disaster Relief Units donated through the AKC Pet Disaster Relief Program.
The County of Orange Health Care Agency has asked for our help in conducting a survey of attitudes toward vaccination for COVID-19, which will be of great assistance to them in planning for distribution of the vaccine when it becomes available. We want them to listen to your opinion and we’re asking you to take less than five minutes to fill out a simple questionnaire concerning how you feel about being vaccinated against COVID-19. Just click on this link to reach the survey, and it will automatically be submitted when you complete it. You do not need to give your name or any other identifying information. All responses are anonymous and confidential. If you receive this request more than once, please only complete the survey once.
Thank you for performing this valuable service to your community.
Meditate on this for a moment- When not attending to the needs of our shelter dogs, you may find our volunteer of the month teaching downward dog at her yoga studio. From planking to pack walks, leg lunges to loose lead walks; it would be no stretch to say that Cecilia dedicates mind, body, & soul to our programs. Although she is a master of the cat-cow, her heart truly lies with the shelter dogs..
She is a warrior for both our TLC 1 and 2 programs; helping our most at-risk population of pups find balance, peace and harmony while in our care. The dogs wiggle like happy babies when they see her face and the staff can breath a sigh of relief, knowing that she is here to help in any/all ways.
Its time to strike your best child's pose and find your Zen, Cecilia- you are October's Volunteer of the Month ::Namaste::
OC Animal Care's Fur-ever Family Event to feature Low-Cost Adoptions TUSTIN, Calif. (September 1, 2020) - OC Animal Care will host the Fur-ever Family event aimed at assisting pet lovers in the community with a pet food giveaway and low-cost adoptions sponsored by Fourth District Supervisor Doug Chaffee of the Orange County Board of Supervisors.
On September 12, OC Animal Care social media platforms will highlight adoptable pets. Families ready to adopt will have the opportunity to virtually sign up for one of one-hundred low-cost adoption vouchers sponsored by Supervisor Chaffee. Vouchers are first-come, first-serve and are limited to one per household for up to one hundred vouchers.
"We support companionship and positive mental health and what better way than to do that while also connecting homeless pets with new families." said Supervisor Doug Chaffee, Fourth District. "We know pets lower anxiety and stress as well as promote healthy habits for people of all ages."
The event will also feature the contactless Family Fur-st Drive Thru Pet Pantry where Supervisor Chaffee and staff will work alongside volunteers to distribute pet food to families in need from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. or while supplies last. This will be the fourth pet food pantry hosted by OC Animal Care in conjunction with community partners Animal Assistance League of Orange County, SoCal Animal Response Team, and The Shamrock Rescue Foundation. To date, the pet food pantry has given out over 7,000 pounds of food to help feed more than 550 pets in Orange County.
"We truly appreciate Supervisor Chaffee for supporting our mission and helping all the pet lovers in the community.” added OC Animal Care Interim Director Andi Bernard. “We hope families join us virtually as we feature pets onsite and in foster homes who are waiting for their perfect match.”
Debra has been holding it down at OCAC since 2016 (a.k.a. the good old days); participating in offsite events and pack walks, playgroups and mentoring prospective volunteers. She truly does. it. all. Debra has a great rapport with her fellow volunteers/staff and is always willing to lend a helping hand wherever she is needed. If you didn’t already know, Debra is somewhat of a small dog whisperer, working to bring our TLC dog out of their shy shells and turning them into adoption success stories! Her work doesn’t stop as the shelter, as she is also registered as a pet foster parent for our needy medical & behavior pups. Debra, you da bomb!
Please join us in celebrating August’s Volunteer of the Month – Debra!
