The Shelter Medicine Club\u2019s annual Holiday Giving Tree is finally here! Come visit Magruder Hall to see a beautifully decorated Christmas tree with ornaments allowing you to donate to animals in need! There are five organizations being sponsored this year including: Lighthouse Sanctuary, Heartland Humane Society, Shelter Medicine Club\u2019s Microchip registration, The Olive K. Britt Fund, and Senior Dog Rescue. Simply pick an ornament off of the tree, fulfill the need by buying a fleece blanket, some dog food, or even a monetary donation and leave it under the tree unwrapped with the ornament attached! (Monetary donations can be given to Lindy in the Dean\u2019s office). The officers of the SMC are extremely excited that this event has finally come and hope to see a lot of participation from their peers and the rest of the OSU community. Caitlin Mclagan, an officer of the SMC expressed her gratitude of everyone\u2019s generosity, \u201cWe really appreciate the willingness of the student body to give back to the community.\u201d This event helps countless animals in need and is a great way to help animals in need.<\/p>\n

All of the participating organizations could not be more grateful of this event and some have been lucky enough to be included in the Giving Tree numerous times. Lighthouse Sanctuary, Senior Dog Rescue, and Heartland Humane Society are all non-profit organizations that directly impact the well being of animals in Oregon. The Olive K. Britt fund began as an endowment from veterinarian Olive Britt, and serves to \u201cprovide clinical care for referred shelter animals or animals whose owners can’t afford to pay for necessary procedures.\u201d The Shelter Medicine Club itself works to register microchips of animals in need and could use your generous donations as well.<\/p>\n

This yearly event is a great way to allow the people of Corvallis to give back to animals in need, don\u2019t miss out! In the wise words of Zaya Mcsky, \u201cThe giving tree is a great way for the community and local shelters to see the vet school and our generosity.\u201d So, let\u2019s get that great image of OSU\u2019s College of Veterinary Medicine out there by giving back!<\/p>\n
