There is still time to make a difference this holiday season.
Because of community support, animals receive the care, comfort, and safety they need when it matters most. Maggie’s story is one powerful example of what your kindness makes possible.
Take a moment to read her journey and consider making a year end gift before December 31 to help more animals in need.
