The Animal Rescue Scholarship offered by The Texas Law Dog has been awarded to Rylee Anne Laman, a student at Southern Nazarene University pursuing a multidisciplinary major in Pre-Athletic Training and Sports Business. The $2,500 scholarship recognizes Laman's dedication to animal rescue and the meaningful lessons she has learned through caring for dogs in need.
Laman's scholarship essay detailed her family's extensive work with foster dogs, including their "foster fails" where they permanently adopted dogs requiring extra support. While her family provided homes for dogs of various breeds, they developed a special affinity for pugs, with three pugs having a particularly significant impact on Laman's perspective regarding animal advocacy. Each dog she cared for contributed to her personal growth in empathy and patience, shaping her character in meaningful ways that extended beyond animal care.
The scholarship selection committee at The Texas Law Dog sought to reward both Laman's self-awareness regarding the reciprocal benefits of animal rescue and her ongoing efforts to support animals in need. As Laman progresses toward graduation and her career goals, she plans to continue providing homes for rescue dogs while pursuing a master's degree in Athletic Training. Her educational aspirations focus on helping aspiring athletes achieve and exceed their performance goals.
The personal injury lawyers at The Texas Law Dog expressed pride in awarding Laman the 2025 Animal Rescue Scholarship, hoping the financial support will facilitate her academic pursuits while maintaining her animal advocacy work.
