Dear Friends, Supporters and Committed OC Volunteers,

Well, Blizzard Charlotte is over and digging out at the Sanctuary is almost complete.  The Rescue Cottage guest dogs and cats got through the storm with barely a blip on their radar and all is well at our beautiful sanctuary. 
 Eva is too busy being cute to notice the storm!

 Oh, Marilyn loves the sofa bed pulled out!
 
 
 
As with all successful things at Our Companions, it is the volunteers who are the key.  We owe big thanks to:
Greg Zlotnick - not only did he come by the day of the blizzard to make sure our standby generator was full of fuel and running properly should a power outage happen.........
But, he was back the next day to rescue staff stranded at the cottage due to the huge drifts that settled in...............our hero :)
Paul B - He didn't hesitate to fire up the OC snowblower and worked tirelessly to ensure that the staff and volunteers could easily get to the rescue cottage.  He even braved huge drifts out in the dog yard to make sure that adorable Dudley could get outside and run.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!
 


 
Krystal R. - The guardian angel of Storm Charlotte for our sanctuary animals.  Krystal made sure they were not alone, they had the love and attention they are so used to,  and that they were well cared for at all times throughout the storm. 
Jon and Renee - Some people take their jobs seriously, and then there are people like Jon and Renee who go above and beyond.    They demonstrate a committment to the OC animals that is second to none. 
Karen - who got in to work this morning at her usual early bird time of 7 a.m.  She's not going to let a little thing like three feet of snow stop her from taking care of her charges. 
 
They say it takes a village........and I for one, could not be more grateful and more proud to be a part of this amazing adventure that is the Our Companions Animal Rescue!
