People Making a Difference

Buddy and I met some big-hearted members of the rescue community at the Riverside dog park recently.

We enjoyed meeting Manola, now called Manny, a Great Dane who was visiting the park for the first time. He was with P.A.W.S. of Austin Founder and Executive Director, Prima Mosi. P.A.W.S. (Protection of Animal Welfare Service) of Austin is a wonderful organization designed to protect and save homeless, abused and neglected animals. There is heartwarming information on the PAWS website describing the Katrina rescue operations members of PAWS undertook. In fact, since becoming involved with Katrina rescue operations, PAWS of Austin has made a big difference in helping animals during other national disasters.

We also had a nice visit with Lauren Dooley, who has two rescue dogs and is working on a documentary designed to help companion animals in need. She rescued little Slim from Peewee's Pet Adoption World and Sanctuary in Corpus Christi, Texas, which was established in 1995. Her little dog Farrah was saved because of an Austin Pets Alive! recommendation.

Buddy and I will be sharing more footage from our park visit in the near future, so check back with us soon!
