Shelter of the Week

SPCA International has awarded Olympic Animal Sanctuary their Shelter of the Week award, thanks to the many nominations we've received from the public. We are very grateful to those who nominated us as well as to SPCA International, not only for the $1,000 grant that came with the award, but for their being willing to support a less traditional animal welfare organization such as ours. Many grant makers and animal welfare groups do not support the work of sanctuaries, preferring to focus on organizations that conduct adoptions or provide low cost spay/neuter or veterinary assistance, but we all play a part for the greater good, for the animals and the people who care about them. We want to acknowledge SPCA International's leadership in bringing this to the attention of their members and website visitors.
