Did you know that owning a pet can cost between $1,000 and $5,000 annually? For many pet owners, these costs can be overwhelming, especially during tough economic times. At OAA, we believe that no one should have to choose between their financial well-being and providing proper care for their beloved pets. That’s why we’ve created a comprehensive directory of statewide resources to help pet owners access affordable and accessible care.

Giving Tuesday is a special time for us to come together, and this year, your incredible generosity made it a resounding success. Whether you shared our posts on social media, made a donation, or spread the word among friends, we are deeply grateful for your support. Thanks to you, we raised an amazing $4,669.99! This achievement has been a tremendous boost to our mission, and we’re so close to reaching our $5,500 goal. With your continued help, we can close this campaign on a high note and do even more for animals in need.
