🎄 Huge THANK YOU to PetSmart Lake Charles! 🎄

For over a decade PetSmart Lake Charles has donated 250+ stuffed animals every Christmas to support our Holiday Helping Hands program. This year, 237 children across 38 schools will wake up smiling on Christmas morning — and every one of them will have a stuffed animal thanks to PetSmart.

We’re incredibly grateful for their generosity, partnership, and heart for our community.
