A longstanding passion and year of planning came to fruition for SportsNet LA reporter Alanna Rizzo when she officially founded and launched Guidry’s Guardian Foundation on the Fourth of July.
Rizzo’s dedication — aside from covering the Los Angeles Dodgers in her sixth season with the team — began with the adoption of a Border Collie mix in 2009. Guidry, the Foundation’s namesake and who sadly passed away recently, was adopted from the Humane Society of Boulder Valley in Colorado.
“He was four months old at the time, and it just opened a whole new world to me that I didn’t even know existed,” Rizzo told DodgerBlue.
