Wags and Walks was founded by Lesley Brog because she knew she could do more for animals.
Lesley Brog grew up a veterinarianâs daughter, a love for animals present as far back as she can remember. Dogs in particular. But it wasnât until she adopted a Pit Bull puppy, thirteen years ago, that her affinity developed into something much stronger.
AliceA pharmaceutical sales rep by profession, Lesley spent most of her time off volunteering with dog rescue organizations and animal shelters. She was struck by the harsh reality: The majority of the dogs in shelters were healthy, family friendly animals, but due to time and space limitations, many had just five days to be adopted before being euthanized.
An overachiever with a can-do-anything spirit, Lesley knew that she could do more for animals. So she mustered up the courage to leave the corporate world, and created her own dog rescue organization in Los Angeles, Wags and Walks. Her goal is to educate people about the types of dogs in the shelters and find those animals suitable, loving, fosters and adopters.

She gets to know the animals, takes pictures and video, and urgently networks to find the dogs homes before they run out of time. Lesleyâs efforts have been nationally recognized, even resulting in a $10,000 grant from DogTime Media. To date, she has helped save the lives of hundreds of deserving dogs who have brought endless happiness and companionship to their families.
Lesley recognizes that despite her best efforts, many thousands more face uncertain fates. She asks that you join her in committing to saving as many lives as possible. Get involved. Adopt, foster, or donate. Together we can change the world, one dog at a time...
To adopt a dog from Wags and Walks, an adoption application must be filled out on our website. To adopt, we require an adoption contract, $400 adoption fee and a home check.
