Going Places

Annelise shares the story of how RetrievAir first took flight. It all began with Willow & Maple’s dad, Benton Miller, who struggled with the same travel questions we all have. So he teamed up with aviation specialist Mark Williams, and Diego’s dad, to create a better way for our pets to fly.

You may recognize this team from their appearance on Shark Tank, where they made a successful match with Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit.

Annelise – mom to Professor – heads Social Impact and Customer Experience. And there’s so much more to RetrievAir than flying! Hear how they’re helping rescue animals, supporting dog training, and finding new ways to give back to the pet community.

Hear Lesley’s own story of how rescuing dogs (including her own), transporting them out of unsafe environments, and helping them find their forever families has become her life’s work. And with Thanksgiving upon us, how we can help even more dogs make that wonderful journey home.

Wags & Walks is an extraordinary nonprofit rescue organization that began in Los Angeles, and is now saving dogs from overcrowded kill-shelters across the country, helping them find their way into loving homes.

We’ve had the joy of supporting Wags & Walks over the years, including Eggnog, a three-legged sweetheart who stole our hearts.

And this year, Wags & Walks celebrates its 15th birthday with a spectacular GALA on November 14th.
