According to Humane Society of Central Texas, about 1.2 million dogs are euthanized each year in the United States due to overcrowding in animal shelters, and this number only includes dogs. Yet, there are about 30 million pet owners in the United States each year. There are several differing rescue organizations throughout the United States, each unique in their own ways. Wags and Walks is a rescue organization for dogs that aims to take care of and find homes for the sweet animals that come into their center. In 2011, Lesley Brog founded Wags and Walks in hopes of saving the too many healthy dogs that are euthanized due to overcrowding in animal shelters. Wags and Walks saves dogs from local shelters, takes in stray dogs and offers opportunities for the community to donate, adopt, foster, and volunteer. This organization’s goal is to not only save these dogs lives, but to love and shelter them, and eventually find them loving and loyal owners. Lesley was determined to change the stigma attached to the phrase “rescue dogs,” and prove to people that anyone can find the right dog for them through rescuing. The Wags and Walks team consists of volunteers who genuinely value dogs’ lives and are devoted to finding each dog an owner suitable to them. They aim to find the best fit for these dogs so that they can live and thrive in a loving and healthy environment. The original process consisted of reliable and trustworthy volunteers that would foster the puppies or dogs until they were able to find the right owner for them. They would feed, bathe, play with and care for the dogs to the best of their ability until their future owner took over. Through the Wags and Walks Instagram, the prospective owners could browse the page to try and decide which dog they would like to meet. Then, they would contact the organization and set up a time to meet the dog. Once the potential owner and the dog have interacted, the adoption process can begin. In order to adopt, the person needs to fill out an application based on strict safety and health guidelines for the future forever home. Eventually in 2018, Wags and Walks proudly opened up a permanent home in Los Angeles, California. This site offers to the community an opportunity to come to the location and volunteer to play with and help take care of the dogs throughout the day. Here, the prospective owners have the chance to meet the dogs and play with them in an authentic environment. Wags and Walks continues to save dogs lives through their several donations, events, and committed volunteers that make the rescuing and adoption process possible.
