2024 Open Arms Challenge

As we have pushed through many hurdles and obstacles over the last 8 months, we have decided not to continue with the Open Arms Challenge.  This has been devastating to say the least.  We have been shown that our help is not needed in the capacity that we wanted to help with. Training is not important here. Veterinarian care is not important. Preventing the spread of diseases of  dogs and cats is not important.  We would like to wish everyone in the challenge the best.  We appreciate what you are all doing to help animals. We only wish we could do the same. Good luck and well wishes to everyone.
