Warren Averett Animal Advocacy Group Participates in Operation SponsorSnip
The Warren Averett Animal Advocacy Group (WAAAG), a group of team members who have joined together to advocate for animal fostering and adoption, participated in Operation SponsorSnip, a fundraising event hosted by a Fort Walton Beach pet rescue organization, Saving with Soul. The event raised thousands of dollars for spay/neuter awareness and dozens of animals found their “furever” homes.
Kerry Duval, one of WAAAG’s founding members, said, “Warren Averett had the opportunity to share not only the services we can provide here on the Gulf Coast but to also share our love of animals and the importance of spay and neuter. It was incredibly fun and gave us the chance to give additional donations of $201 gathered from Firm team members to go toward the next spay/neuter transport costs.”
