A year ago in December, renowned Western artist Harold T. Holden passed away. “H” leaves a legacy of cowboy art in our community and the surrounding area. His lovely philanthropic wife, Edna Mae, has partnered with the ESPCA in an ongoing H.T. Holden Christmas ornament fundraiser. She released “A Cowboy’s Christmas” ornament this year to help the animals.
Make a difference this holiday season by adding an H.T. Holden Limited Edition ornament to your tree! The proceeds from the sale of these ornaments go directly to the care of the animals at the ESPCA, providing them with the love and support they need. In addition to being a great gift priced at just $30, these ornaments symbolize your compassion and care. With limited quantities available, don’t miss the chance to make a difference. The newest ornament, “A Cowboy’s Christmas”, is available at enidspca.org, the ESPCA office, The Groom Closet, and Way Out West. They each come in a velvety drawstring bag for giving. You can also add to your collection and find some of the past ornaments on this page of the ESPCA website.
The H.T. Holden Christmas ornaments are not just a one-time purchase but an ongoing ESPCA fundraiser. You become part of a continuous effort to support the ESPCA by getting your ornaments today. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make a lasting impact for pets like Sham.
Sham came to the ESPCA as a rare emergency case. He was hit by a car, and unfortunately, his owners never stepped forward. Sham spent almost a month in a cast with his front leg recovering, as well as an injury to his tail, which ended up being amputated.
During his recovery, he showed to be very shy and avoidant. It took over a month before his primary caregiver could enter the room without him trying to hide. Once he opens up, he’s a goofy, playful pup who loves to chase a ball and ask for attention. His happy place is out in one of the yards sunning. He is dog-friendly and will probably do best in a home with a dog to help him adjust and build his confidence.
Sham will take time, patience, and commitment. He needs a home that is quiet and easygoing. Whatever he experienced before the shelter has remained with him, but with the ESPCA team, he has opened up and shown what type of dog he truly is. If you’re interested in fostering or adopting, please apply at enidspca.org or come to see him in person Tuesday – Saturday, 12 – 3 PM.
