Founder and CEO of Operation Blankets of Love

    Eileen Smulson is the co-founder and executive director of Operations Blankets of Love (OBOL), a non-profit organization that helps provide comfort and care to homeless animals in shelters and rescues in California. Smulson established OBOL in 2008 after learning about the lack of resources in animal shelters.
