Yet Another Innovative program from LAAS

.
Can you imagine Stuckey or Greenwalt being able to put this event together? Imagine, partnerships with Amanda and Best Friends as well Downtown Dogs. How many who were General Manager candidates a year ago could have carried this off?..

What a great idea!!! The homeless need these services, they do "rescue" animals, mostly those that no one wants. This idea needs to be carried to other cities as well.
