And just like that, Waves of Awareness is back with Season 6! WOA couldn't be more excited to welcome you back and kick things off right with one of our partners at the Williamson County Animal Center, Molly Darr. Molly leads the Pawsabilities Program at WCAC, which partners volunteers with special needs with a mentor for 1:1 interactions with the pets at WCAC. Waves has been honored to partner with WCAC for Pawsabilities and create the training that spreads awareness to mentors partnering with volunteers with special needs. Molly was able to combine her three passions, teaching, animals, and volunteer work through Pawsabilities and support her community. Not only does Molly go in-depth on explaining Pawsabilities, but she also shares about WCAC and their amazing success of 95-97% save rate for animals who come to WCAC. We wouldn't be able to start Season 6 off right without Trent Denson, Matt "the Man" Moore, Eric Wilson, and Christy Webb joining the table! Christy personally has been volunteering at WCAC for nearly 2 years now and couldn't wait to share her experiences with the animals at WCAC. Eric and Matt share what they've been up to during this off-season and their excitement for Waves' Brews & Grooves event on September 21. Matt and Eric will be performing exceptional music in addition to a live performance by Aaron Bucks! Listen to the full episode and hear all the best details from Trent, Molly, Matt, Eric, and Christy.
