The holiday season is a time of giving, love, and togetherness—a perfect opportunity to reflect on the joy that animals bring to our lives and how we can give back to them. OAA invites you to join us in making a difference for animals across Ohio this holiday season.

Ohio Animal Advocates is proud to highlight an incredible milestone for The Cocoon—a new outdoor Dog Run that enhances their emergency shelter for survivors of domestic violence and their pets. This vital addition reflects The Cocoon’s dedication to providing trauma-informed, safe spaces where survivors can begin their healing journey without being separated from their beloved companion animals.

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.
