National Night Out Recap
|
|
Team Chaffee attended the National Night Out Events in the Fourth District, visiting Anaheim Police Department's, Fullerton Police Department's, Placentia Police Department's, and Orange County Sheriff Department's National Night Out for the City of Stanton. These events offered a fantastic opportunity to connect with our community and strengthen the bond between residents and law enforcement. Police, Fire, Emergency Medical Services, Dispatch, and their partners provided demonstrations, hands-on activities, and informational booths for residents to learn more about their local First Responders. Thank you to all the police departments for hosting such impactful events, and to everyone who came out to support our community. Together, we're building a safer, stronger Orange County!

Raise your paws if you're looking for your forever family! Hi, I'm Farrah, and I've had my paws raised since I arrived at OC Animal Care in April. I'm a lively two-year-old pittie with boundless enthusiasm and an unwavering loyalty. One of my favorite activities is playing fetch, and I would love to share that passion with you! I love running and acting like a big puppy, so if you're seeking a running or hiking buddy, I'm your girl! I've also been described as a big goofball who likes to hang out and play, and I can definitely attest to that! With me in your life, we're bound to have endless joy and happy memories. Please call OC Animal Care at (714) 935-6848 and mention my animal ID A1863747, to make me a part of your family! Please visit our Pet Adoptions page to see more adoptable pets.
