Check Out Lesley Brog’s Story
Today we’d like to introduce you to Lesley Brog.
Hi Lesley, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I am the daughter of a veterinarian and founded Wags & Walks in 2011. My goal was to help reduce the number of sweet and healthy dogs being euthanized due to overcrowding in LA shelters. Since then, I have grown Wags & Walks rescue from a one-person operation to an organization that has saved 7000 dogs from high kill shelters with the support of 16 employees, thousands of volunteers and our own 4000-square-foot adoption center. Our center hosts community and education events, often geared at children and families. Wags & Walks was founded with the goal of breaking the stigma that rescue dogs are damaged goods and to help decrease the number of dogs euthanized in local shelters by showing people that you can find wonderful dogs of all breeds and sizes through rescue. That value has remained consistent as the rescue has continued to grow.
