Founder & CEO, WAG-A-LOT

I am in awe of LifeLine’s proactive, lifesaving work and honored to have been associated with them for the past 20 years. Their game-changing efforts have not only dramatically reduced the homeless pet population, but they have also changed the psyche of Atlantans to adopt, not shop, and have inspired countless other organizations and individuals to join their mission. I am so excited to be a part of an event highlighting the efforts of LifeLine and other “good humans.” I truly believe every pet has the right to WAG-A-LOT!

For many of us, our pets are also valued members of our family. Their immeasurable love and care are often amongst the brightest moments of our days. So, it’s nearly inconceivable that so many beautiful animals end up neglected and abandoned each year. Knowing that LifeLine Animal Project is at the frontline, with their holistic approach towards solving the crux of this crisis, renews my hope in humanity and reinvigorates my determination to do what I can to protect our furry family members everywhere.

We are thrilled to honor Atlanta’s leaders in animal welfare for their commitment to lifesaving, for their exceptional work and for their inspiration to others in the animal lifesaving community. We look forward to celebrating our second annual gala and hope you will join us for our celebration."

Are you ready to make a difference in the lives of animals in need while having a fantastic time? LifeLine Animal Project is thrilled to host our second annual Good Human Gala, an unforgettable evening of compassion, and philanthropy.
