Olympic Mountain Pet Pals is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of pets and people in Jefferson County, WA. Our programs benefit the lives of schoolkids, senior citizens, and lower income pet owners by connecting them to resources supporting the health of pets and offering positive interactions with therapy dogs. Founded in 2001, our original mission was to help low-income families without the resources to pay for spay and neuter services for their beloved pets afford such services and, consequently, reduce the burden of unwanted and homeless animals on the local community. This remains a goal although the methodology has changed over time to funding spay/neuter clinics run by our partners. Our expanding therapy dog programs include READ to ROVER, helping children in schools and libraries to learn to read, and Pets to People, visiting seniors in assisted living facilities.
Our Spring fundraising goal is to raise funds to help lower income pet owners in our local community. These efforts include regular donations of pet food that we are supplying for distribution by the food banks and financial support for low-income spay/neuter clinics. A group of dedicated OMPP supporters has pledged to match donations until our goal of $5,000 is met!
