Launch of LA foundation helping animals in need

Todd Warner, owner of the Los Angeles-based pet store “Tailwaggers” which has served the local community for over ten years, has launched The Tailwaggers Foundation, a nonprofit geared to affect positive change in the animal rescue community. Along with an all-volunteer Board of Directors, Todd created the Foundation to serve as a financial resource for animal rescue groups who are struggling to cover the cost of medical care for sick and injured animals. Recognizing that healthy dogs and cats stand the best chance for finding a loving home, The Tailwaggers Foundation’s donations will directly facilitate the adoption process and will improve animal welfare in general.

The Foundation is hosting a very special event on Sunday, February 23 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel -- the Tailwaggers Foundation’s Waggy Awards.  The ceremony will honor individuals who have worked tirelessly to improve animal health and welfare in the local community and globally.  Receiving “Waggy” awards will be Manuel Oteyza (producer) & Gabriela Cowperthwaite (director) of “Blackfish”, LA City Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell and Chris Hogan, executive vice president of the Hogan Family Foundation & Lifeline 4 Paws.  More details about the event follow. We thought Todd’s amazing work in the Los Angeles community to help animals in need and this exciting event would make a great story.  Please let us know if this is of interest or if you would like to speak with Todd.
