If you love dogs, you love Lesley Brog.

As the Founder and CEO of Wags and Walks, she has made it her life’s mission to rescue dogs in need, provide them with the medical care necessary to save their life, and adopt them into loving homes who are better for it.

Wags and Walks is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of dogs stuck in kill shelters and matching loving families with their perfect canine companion. Since its humble beginnings in Lesley’s backyard, to the larger Adoption Center they operate today, Wags and Walks has rescued thousands of dogs (including my own sweet pup, Murphy), all thanks to Lesley.

I have been watching a lot of '90's rom-coms, so Julia Roberts has been top of mind. I was inspired by her really bouncy, fun curls, so I thought I would show girls in quarantine how to get that on their own. I've been doing impromptu hair and makeup tutorials on my IG TV. It's my way of trying to help. Beauty is something that brings us joy, and it is such a strong connector for everyone.

Over the last few weeks, the new coronavirus outbreak has been affecting animal shelters across the country: Volunteers can no longer come to play with the animals, and donations for many organizations have come to a halt in this uncertain time. Luckily, most shelters are still looking to place animals in a foster situation, which means healthy adults can apply to have a dog or cat come live with them. This frees up a bed at the shelter for another animal who needs to be rescued and means you’ll have a furry companion to spend time with while you're spending time at home.
