Hungry & Fit started as a personal blog before it transformed into a food & fitness blog. We used it to document our cross-country trip to find a new life in a place we’d never been, but we’ve actually kept you in the dark about a lot of our own personal projects. Recently, Hungry started a new job, however, working for one of the most impactful animal welfare organizations in the world.
If you’ve been following him on Facebook or Instagram, you’ve probably noticed a whole lot of pictures of new dogs. These are shelter dogs from the adoption center where he works. Before, he was a manager for a feral kitten rescue, but now Hungry has the opportunity to work with both dogs and cats, of all ages, breeds and conditions. We’re talking about a lot of unique personalities here.
Best Friends Animal Society has been at the forefront of a movement that has dramatically decreased the amount of animals that have been killed in animal shelters throughout the past thirty years. Their NKLA, or No Kill Los Angeles, Initiative first attracted the attention of Hungry & Fit when they moved to Los Angeles and attended the Super Adoption Event at the La Brea Tar Pits. Having rescued four animals from the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, and having seen the Best Friends logo at the HSBV Annual Gala, they knew that BF was saving a lot of lives.
If you’re in LA, please feel free to stop by and consider taking a friend home. If you’re not, you can check out other Best Friends locations throughout the country. If you still want to help from the comfort of your couch, you can! There are always opportunities to donate and share fundraising campaigns, but right now Omaze is running an experience that is raising crucial funds for Best Friends.

Now, as an Adoptions Specialist, Hungry is working towards finding a great home for all of these shelter animals. While it can be challenging at times, it is extremely rewarding work. There are a few things, if any, that feel better than sending a loving animal, who has never had a good home, away with an amazing individual or family. Thanks for reading our little life update and as always, stay hungry and fit!
