Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is pleased to announce that Lawrence Nicolas has joined the League as Chief Operating Officer.
Lawrence was raised outside Denver, Colorado and graduated from University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication. Lawrence began his career in the animal welfare industry in 2008, working in the adoptions and pet intake departments at the Dumb Friends League in Denver.
In 2012, Lawrence began working for Best Friends Animal Society in Salt Lake City, Utah. While with Best Friends, Lawrence held several roles. Most recently, Lawrence was the Senior Manager of Lifesaving, overseeing adoptions and foster, the neonatal kitten nursery, events and volunteers, and the external shelter support work Best Friends coordinates in Utah.
“Having the opportunity to wake up every morning and save lives is the most rewarding work I can imagine,” said Lawrence Nicolas. “I can’t imagine doing anything else and I am excited to be able to help save even more lives in Palm Beach County and beyond with Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.”
“The work Peggy Adams is doing in South Florida and the Countdown 2 Zero initiative is incredibly inspiring and a national model for collaborative solutions to save the lives of homeless animals,” said Lawrence. “I knew this was a team and a community I needed to be a part of.”
Lawrence currently resides in Loxahatchee with his wife and one-year old son along with their four rescue pets – two dogs and two cats.
