BUZZ Watch Party stars Angels of Assisi 900 506 Michael Hemphill

BUZZ Watch Party stars Angels of Assisi

Join us at the historic Grandin Theatre on Nov. 19 at 6:00 pm ET to celebrate our newest BUZZ starring Angels of Assisi! Event is free. Doors open 5:30 pm.

Founded in 2001 as just a mobile clinic, the animal welfare nonprofit Angels of Assisi in 2025 moved into a new multimillion dollar facility in downtown Roanoke to better serve pets … and the humans who love them! Along with an adoption center and farm sanctuary, Angels of Assisi offers a community pet clinic, rural veterinary care, cruelty investigations, disaster response, and a safety net program for those needing temporary help due to domestic violence or emergency situations.

Rather than deservedly resting on their hind legs, Angels of Assisi seeks to continue its pawsitive momentum by fetching more community support. BUZZ retrieves our good friends from Wordsprint to provide pro bone-o marketing resources that are sure to be the cat’s meow.
