What's Happening
Back to School Giveaway Recap

Last Saturday, we hosted our Back to School giveaway at Sonora High School in La Habra.

Attendees received a backpack with school supplies to help them start the new school year. At the event, we distributed over 500 backpacks. Additionally, we donated an extra 100 backpacks to the McKinney-Vento Program at Sonora High School for their use throughout the year.

We would like to thank Sonora High School for hosting our event and their ASB students for volunteering that day. Thank you to La Habra Mayor Daren Nigsarian and Council member James Gomez for stopping by at the event.

In the Fourth District Community
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!

Pet of the Week

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.
