Orphans of the Storm Angel Trees
Looking for a simple, meaningful way to help shelter pets this season? Our Angel Trees are officially up at participating locations — and each one is filled with wish tags from our pets who could use a little extra love.
If you live near one of these locations, stop by, pull a tag off the tree, grab the item, and bring your donation to Orphans of the Storm! Your kindness goes directly to the animals who need it most.
And while you’re here dropping off your gift… don’t forget to meet some of our incredible adoptable dogs! You might just find your new best friend.
