Our Story

Wags & Walks was founded in 2011 by Lesley Brog who was devastated by the number of innocent dogs being euthanized in LA shelters due to overcrowding. With locations in both Los Angeles and Nashville, Wags & Walks’ main goal is to break the stigma around rescue dogs and decrease the number of dogs euthanized in local shelters by proving that you can rescue wonderful pups of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments.

#bringinghappinesshome

  • I couldn’t be more grateful to Wags & Walks for introducing me to my sweet girl! Rizzo, FKA Lucy, is my tiny, 10lb world. The process was quick & easy and everyone was so kind & helpful. They made a huge decision a simple decision.

    Lauren George

  • Thank you Wags & Walks for bringing so much love into our home. We love everything this organization stands for (from rescuing, to providing medical care, funding treatment, donating supplies, gathering volunteers to transport and foster and then to finally bringing happiness home)-- we are beyond proud to play a small part of this wonderful community!

    Erica and Ryan Chaliff

  • We cannot thank Wags and Walks enough for bringing Cannoli into our lives. What started as a foster for Lennon from The Beatles litter quickly turned into a foster failure, as we saw how seamlessly Cannoli fit into our family. Wags and Walks made the process easy, which helped confirm that we were making the right decision!

    Christina Healey-Robinson

  • Forever indebted to Wags & Walks for bringing this girl home to us. What started off as a foster, turned into us adopting our fur family member we couldn’t imagine life without. The foster program and adoption program are exceptional and there’s really no other place you need to search. Their work is incredible and inspiring! Could not admire the team behind Wags & Walks more!

    Melissa Sheehan

  • I’ll never adopt from anywhere but Wags. Their mission and vision is incredible and knowing that the adoption fee goes towards saving more beautiful, deserving pups like him can’t be beat. No regrets, all love!
