Happy Thursday, paw-ty people!
It’s hard to believe Summer is almost here, but the weather is warmer, the pollen count is high, and it feels like there is finally a light at the end of the COVID tunnel. We are cautiously optimistic here at AWLA, just dipping our toes in the water, but I am thrilled to share some new online and in-person events that are coming your way! Take a scroll through all the excitement — I think you’ll find something that’s right up your alley 🤗
See you soon!
