People are encouraged to email any questions, topics, or ideas they have for EPAS. Emails can be sent to EPASoutreach@elpasotexas.gov.

“It’s a challenge working in an animal shelter,” said Michele Anderson, Marketing and Public Engagement Manager for EPAS. “When you’re working with animals you see some challenging stuff and it can get to you sometimes so being able to celebrate the wins is really important because it allows you to take a step back and celebrate those stories, too.”

“EPAS Unleashed” will be featured on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcast, and all episodes will be uploaded onto the shelter's website, too. The first episode will make its debut this Friday, January 20th.
