We have recently been made aware that pet owners are receiving scam calls regarding their lost pets. The scammer pretends to be a law enforcement agency and informs the owner that their pet has been found and taken to a shelter with a minor injury. They provide a police report number, explain that the shelter will be in contact and then follow up pretending to be the shelter stating that the pet is there and money must be paid over the phone to provide the necessary care and surgery of the lost pet.

Please, do not pay over the phone, call the shelter directly to see if this is true.

In this comprehensive guide, Laura J. Martin, Esq., explores the concept of Pet Planning—an essential aspect of estate planning for pet owners. Whether you're concerned about ensuring your pets are cared for in the event of your incapacity or preparing for the possibility of your death, this document walks you through how to protect both your animals and your relationship with them.

Your support means everything. You’ve given a voice to the voiceless and made strides toward a better world for animals and humans alike. From all of us at OAA, thank you for making this year’s Giving Tuesday such a success. We wish you a joyful and peaceful holiday season.

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.
