🚨CUTE PUPPIES & KITTENS AHEAD! 🚨

This week, we’re in Austin, Texas, meeting the awesome high school student-volunteers who run Paw Plan—an org dedicated to improving the lives of shelter animals, one paw at a time. 🐾

As Anatola and crew experience the mental health benefits of volunteering firsthand, you’ll see why the Paw Plan volunteers choose to prioritize community service—even on a stress-filled weekend packed with standardized tests and prom!
