Today we reflect on those who we are grateful for: our supporters, donors, volunteers, fosters, adopters, partners, vets, vet techs, friends, everyone we’ve met along the way that inspires us and of course grateful for the animals who give our lives meaning and are the reason we get up in the morning. We wish you all a very Happy (Turkey free) Thanksgiving 🍁🐾🤎🧡 In the video: @frankietheseeingblinddog @rufusissocool @obolpaws @irisalmario @kmshowroomla_fortheanimals @kwtostado @alexandrabernalofficial @truecareforpets @emilyislivelove @somewherefaroff @moomoodabooboo @ashtoncharles_ @travisaddams @parquette.photography @ceda_cuba @markperez @muttmatchmaker @warmheartsproject @lindsay_rvt @startswithonetoday @jennsims10 @joey.tuccio @pawsforcompassion.vn @ppawscambodia @voice_of_animal_nepal @headrock_dogs_rescue_2 @drillerbitz @socialcompassion @themoywonder @unchained_tv @timjdillon @richchassler @zofunny @cannoncomedy @aprilmacie @shirascottastrof @pitbullsandaddicts @zachskow @tomkiesche @fishmjo @petservicescambodia @liveloveanimalrescue @horacefatty @southpawvets @thewuzinator @saving.animals.healing.hearts @beachesandbaguette @betsykravitz @lblc_thelabel @justlovebabs @mtadjedin @the_mightysharon @amandafein6 @ash_kalra @duckdogo @skittishkid @lexiegray @simonereyes @beyond_the_borders_dog_rescue @centaurusfoundation @bigloveanimalrescue @ttobie @victoriahbech @chevellemybelle #wufaw #gratefuleveryday #fosteringsaveslives❤️ #adoptdontshop #spayandneuter #skidrowlosangeles

FOR $6 SATURDAY (Yes we’re making this a thing 😉) Please help us in supporting @adopcionesxamor they are a one woman operation rescuing severe medical cases on an island where they lack resources and medical care. There is a new “store” in Havana that is selling dog food. Which is very exciting because now we can order online and send to them. So please consider giving $6 today to support this amazing rescue. Thank you @travisaddams for being such an incredible human and dedicating yourself to this cause. We are lucky to have you. #wufaw #adoptsavealife #$6Saturday #rescuesofinstagram #fosteringsaveslives #90milessouthofkeywest #perrosygatos #lovedogsforever ##lovecatsforever #amorporlosanimales #donarsalvavidas #fundraise #latinosunidos
No fancy choreo. Just enjoying being in the moment. Happy holidays everyone! 🎊💫✨ #danceisinmyheart #happyholidays2023 #beinthemoment #danceislife #holidaycheer #dancedance #sparkleandshine
Alexis and Zen were born on Skid Row. When we met them back in August they were already 5 months old. They were starving and thirsty. Kept in a dog bag for most of their young lives or tied to a bike or a fence or anything that was convenient. Alexis was petrified and wouldn’t let us near here but slowly week after week we gained her trust. Along with their owner’s trust. Finally after 3 long months he surrendered the puppies and their dad Juju to us, @startswithonetoday and @jennsims10 🐾🙏🏼 We brought them home. Bathed them. Fed them good food. Gave them soft beds and made them feel safe for the first time ever. No more rat infested streets, no more sleeping in their own feces and urine. No more eating trash. No more being left in the sun. No more chaos. We got them spayed, vaccinated and microchipped through @underdogcommunityproject and @aspca Then they were off to their amazing foster home @jenhwalters and @kemble_walters to learn how to be puppies with @bowieoftheday as their mentor. They are the sweetest girls with very different personalities- Alexis is energetic and curious. She could play all day or scour the yard for rocks and leaves. Zen is very playful but also a bit more chill. Both need basic training 🐾 They would both do well in homes with other dogs as they have never been an only dog. Please consider adopting Alexis or Zen (or both). Application link is in @wufaw_official bio 🫶🏽🩷🎄 #wufaw #skidrowdogs #rescuesofskidrow #adoptdontshop #holidaypuppies #fosteringsaveslives #volunteeringiskey #talkaboutitbeaboutit #adoptsavealife #secondchances #dogsarefamilytoo #rescuedogsofig

It was so wonderful to be a part of the @televisionacad Director’s workshop. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a large group of creatives where we get to play and support each other live in person. The scene I got to work on was written by @eforieredie and directed by @jadejenisedixon . I costarred with @theleepurcell and @kevin_brief. So much fun! Thank you guys! What a treat! #stayinspiredstaycreative #televisionacademy #storytellers #actinglife #directors #writer #latinaactress

Thank you for the sweet bday video @wufaw_official! Love you guys & the work I get to do along side you. 🙌🏼❤️💜 #repost Please help us in wishing WUFAW cofounder @irisalmario a very Happy Birthday. Iris is a bad ass fighter for the animals. She isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty or her beautiful face messed up. If a dog or cat is in need she is the person we call on. We are lucky to have her on the team. 🥳 #wufaw #talkaboutitbeaboutit #volunteerwork #rescuesofinstagram #animalloversunite

I’m grateful for so many people in my life in particular my mom. She’s a warrior against Parkinson’s Disease & a sassy Puerto Rican woman who reminds me to live life to the fullest whatever the situation is & to always be kind. I wish I could walk side by side her but her disease has challenged everything that comes naturally to me like walking, holding utensils etc… I’m grateful I GET to take care of her. ❤️ So my friends Live hard, love harder. Be kind & always be grateful for the lessons that challenge us & make us grow. ✨ Hug a loved one today & have a beautiful Thanksgiving! 🧡✨ 🧍🏻♀️👩🏻🦽 #motherdaughterbond 🏝️ Flamenco Beach, Culebra Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 📸 #flashback 2015 #happythanksgivingday #hugsarethebest #huglikeyoumeanit #alwaysbekind #lovemoments #puertoricansbelike #lifeisagift #gratitudeattitude #flamencobeach #culebrapuertorico #parkinsonsdisease #lovemom❤️ #happythanksgivng
My acting teacher @howard_l_fine just released the second edition of his book Fine on Acting! 📕 🎉 My peers & I got to celebrate with him. It was a beautiful night with many of us sharing our connection to Howard, our love for him & the craft. I can’t wait to dive into A Vision of The Craft Fine on Acting! I revisit Howard’s first book all the time. There are so many 🎭💎 I don’t think Howard knows the impact that he’s made on my acting career or myself. He taught me that I can do this. Acting. This came after I had already worked in the industry & had credits. The thing is I didn’t have a craft. I was sort of just flying by the seat of my pants. After my first year in LA I hit a wall. I was no longer the new face in town. Bookings were more spread out and I knew there was something missing in my work. That’s when I took Howard’s foundations class. I went straight to the basics & took a deep dive into the craft. I was very lucky to be in the class he chose to teach all the way through the curriculum. He was revamping the program. One day he invited me into his master class. I was over the moon but I had to make the decision to take a break because I started working again. Years later I took his intensive & I remember Howard telling me “this is your acting gym. You’re always welcomed.” 😊 So when the world shut down & I heard Howard was teaching online, I jumped at the chance to get back in class. It’s been wonderful to stay creative throughout quarantine & the writers/actors strike with students from around the world who are now family. Thank you @howardfine @howardfinestudio for creating a space for actors to continue growing & playing.
