At OPHS we are so thankful for all who have adopted the dogs, cats and other critters we have cared for this year. So many wonderful stories and pictures are sent to us, some of which we shared in our last newsletter.
One can't look back on 2021 without considering the challenges faced by so many. OPHS was not immune. Dealing with running a business while safely managing Covid, quarantines and staff shortages was at the top of our list. We don't have the option of closing shop when 150 animals need our care every day. Staff showed up and worked overtime to fill in, even when recent snowfall meant digging out to get here! I couldn't be prouder of their dedication.
While the rest of the world struggled with supply and labor shortages, so did OPHS. The renovations of the New KittyCity building in Sequim have been affected by both time delays and increased costs. We are still waiting for a surgery table ordered over 8 months ago!
