Darlene White to Guest Host Celebration

Darlene White has been a longtime friend and supporter of PAWS of Coronado and Louise Shirey held her in the highest esteem. So everyone was very excited when Darlene agreed to be the emcee for Louise’s Celebration of Life this Friday.

Many of you may know Darlene from her Animal House Pet Segment on

XETV San Diego 6 News where she appears every morning with an adoptable pet from one of 40 local shelters and fostering agencies.
