Earlier this PAWS/LA was featured in the Pacifica Radio podcast, The Out Agenda on KPFK.org. Our Director of Programs Steve Wayland shared the history and mission of PAWS/LA, using his 25 years of organizational knowledge.

Hosts of The Out Agenda, Ralph Radebuagh and Rita Gonzalez, asked fantastic questions that allowed us to discuss the importance of our work, express our gratitude for our volunteers, and communicate the ongoing need for resources and support.

We want to thank Ralph and Rita for their diligence in preparing for this interview. We also want to thank them for encouraging their listeners to be proud of their identity!

Their tagline is: Being out is the first step to being equal!

This interview came at a perfect time, as it allowed us to promote the DTLA Proud Block Party at Night on Broadway, taking place this Saturday, January 28th, in downtown LA. For more information about that event please visit www.dtlaproud.org

On Friday, January 13th PAWS/LA honored a few of its most dedicated volunteers with a special event presented at BottleRock LA. Distinguished volunteers received the President's Volunteer Service Award recognizing the hundreds of hours they gave to the PAWS/LA community in 2016.

The PVSA encourages citizens to live a life of service. Our volunteers definitely meet up to the award's vision of recognizing those who take positive action to change the world.

Thanks to these volunteers -- and to each one of you who serves PAWS/LA-- we continue to accomplish our mission of keeping people and pets together.
