This North Dakota station ran a piece about Operation Santa Paws. Today, December 3rd is on the National Day Calendar. Groups and individuals all over the country (and Mexico) collect toys, treats and supplies for local rescues and shelters. Justin Rudd started the effort in Long Beach, California, in 2001. This year, because of COVID, we are not gathering to deliver collected items.
