Stuff the Stocking Drive for OTAT
Dates: December 1–19
Benefiting: One Tail at a Time (OTAT)
This holiday season, Fire Hydrant Pet Sitting & Doggy Daycare is on a mission to spread some extra cheer to the pets at OTAT!
One Tail at a Time is a Chicago-based animal rescue with a mission to end pet homelessness by making pet companionship a joyful and accessible experience for all. They rescue and care for hundreds of dogs, cats, and small animals each year—providing medical support, safe housing, and the chance for every tail to find its forever home.
Our Stuff the Stocking Drive is our way of giving back to the rescue community that does so much for the pets in Chicago. Throughout December, we’re inviting our Fire Hydrant families to help us “stuff the stockings” with much-needed supplies—from toys and treats to cleaning products and enrichment tools—that will make a big difference for the animals in OTAT’s care.
How It Works
Ask for a Stocking from our team at Fire Hydrant (or bring your own!) — Pack it with all kinds of items from OTAT’s wishlist.
Go fill your stocking and then bring it Fire Hydrant Pet Sitting & Doggy Daycare during business hours, Monday - Friday between December 1 and December 19th!
We’ll deliver all donations the weekend before Christmas so they’re ready for the holiday tail wags!
