2025 GAAR Good Neighbor recipient shares PACA's mission alongside volunteer Julie Hart and adoptable dog Taz
The Greater Albuquerque Association of REALTORS® is proud to celebrate 2025 GAAR Good Neighbor recipient Lanya Androlewicz as she shares her inspiring volunteer journey on New Mexico Living.
Lanya was joined by fellow People's Anti-Cruelty Association (PACA) volunteer Julie Hart and Taz, an adoption-ready rescue dog looking for his forever home. Together, they sat down with host Logan Rader to discuss PACA's mission, the importance of foster-based rescue, and the life-changing impact volunteers can have on animals in need.
During the interview, Lanya reflected on her more than 25 years of service with PACA, where she has helped rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome countless dogs while leading the organization as its president. Julie shared how PACA's foster-centered approach allows each dog to receive individualized care, training, and support before being matched with the family that's the right fit.
Of course, one of the stars of the segment was Taz, who showed off his friendly personality while reminding viewers that many wonderful dogs are waiting for loving homes.
Lanya was recognized as a 2025 GAAR Good Neighbor for her decades of volunteer leadership and unwavering commitment to improving the lives of animals across New Mexico. The GAAR Good Neighbor Award honors REALTORS® who make an extraordinary impact through volunteer service, highlighting the positive difference they create in their communities beyond real estate.
