On Aug. 27, Operation Blankets of Love (OBOL) made an 800-mile emergency round trip run to the Yolo County Animal Shelter, delivering more than 4,000 lbs. of food and other life-saving pet supplies.
The supplies will be distributed to Yolo, Solano, Sonoma, Napa, Butte and Sacramento county shelters to help 100s and 100s of pets displaced by the fires. The emergency relief supplies will also help pets of the homeless, the elderly and those compromised by Covid-19.
You won’t believe how much fit in the OBOL van!
OBOL donated crucial pet supplies including:
- Several 1000 pounds of dry dog and cat food and treats
- 100s of cans of wet dog and cat food
- 100 pet beds and kuranda beds in various sizes
- 100s of blankets and towels
- 150+ dog and cat toys
- 75 wire crates and carriers in various sizes
- 100s of collars, leashes and harnesses of all sizes
- Water and food stainless steel bowls
Please donate today so we can keep our services free for those affected by the wildfires.
Given the gravity of the catastrophic combined firestorms that have besieged Northern California currently, OBOL has generously agreed to drive from Southern California with necessities we are in dire need to house and care for the 100s of animals that have come to our NorCal shelters for safety and care. Brad and his team at OBOL are loading supplies to support shelters during and for after the fires.

Our companion animals mean so much to us. During these horrific fires, so many pets are hurt, scared, and confused. Helping them overcome their trauma and getting them back to their loving owner is incredibly important to us. We need your help to save lives.
Every animal’s life is precious. As an animal lover, please show your compassion by making a tax-deductible donation of $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, or more. Please be as generous as you can so we can make a huge difference continuing to save homeless animals.
Since 2008, OBOL has been the lifeline for 90 California shelters and over 700 rescue groups throughout the years and especially during natural disasters. Only with your help can we remain vigilant in preparing for natural disasters.
If we don’t stand up for them, who will?
