During a swearing in ceremony on Saturday, “The Bold and the Beautiful” star Sean Kanan (Deacon Sharpe) and his wife Michele became the first official members of the newly formed Special Services Unit, part of Guardian SPCA, a local chapter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), in collaboration with State Humane Services.
As special service agents of Guardian SPCA, the Kanans are now part of an elite task force dedicated to rallying resources and building support to protect animals and end cruelty.
According to the organization, the Special Services Unit is composed of highly skilled and accomplished professionals who bring their unique talents and networks to advance Guardian SPCA’s mission. Additionally, through strategic fundraising initiatives, community partnerships, engaging events, and innovative campaigns, the team will play a vital role in empowering investigations, rescues, and justice for animals in need.
“Being able to partner with this amazing division to protect animals is a dream come true for me. I look forward to serving,” said Sean in a statement.
Kanan shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) of him and his wife being sworn in. He captioned the post, saying, “Today is a very special day for me and Michele. We were both sworn in as special service agents of the Guardian SPCA, formalizing our commitment to fighting animal mistreatment and arresting individuals perpetrating these crimes.”
