In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker chats with Henry Friedman. Henry is a part of Team Dogist and has one of the most incredible adoption stories that we’ve heard in a long time.

For Henry a chance encounter mixed with fate allowed him to adopt an incredibly special pup who was born in a bush in Puerto Rico. This puppy along with his mother and siblings were rescued by The Sato Project and he was transported to the US.

Henry found in Finn a partner in crime and a companion for adventure. They’ve traveled all over the US and Canada exploring, meeting people and helping rescue pups. Henry has a huge passion after his life was so changed by a rescue dog and has created a Patreon giving back each month to rescues that you’ve never heard of. We love what this dynamic duo is doing and we want to support their cause!

Jenna, Paige and Bekki are a mother and daughters trio who wanted to take their passion and desire to support and help rescue pups so they created Pearls for Pups!!

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker chats with Niels Skou who is a major puppy lover and the creator of Puppies Make Me Happy. Skou shares the story of how a funny shirt, a dream to create hearing aids for deaf dogs and puppies created the perfect storm that dared him to dream to create Puppies Make Me Happy.



Puppies Make Me Happy sells a clothing and accessory line that makes you smile and gives back to rescue pups in need. They feature fashionable clothing made and designed in the US and designed in LA. When wearing their shirts, I've been stopped in airports, grocery stores and when walking down the street to ask you where did you get this?

In this episode of The Woof Life Show the podcast for dog lovers, Lauren Farricker chats with Dianne Scott  who is a pitbull dog mom and a breed advocate. She’s also the Content Creator behind Tale of Two Pitties @aTaleOf2Pitties and the web series @mayorroo.

Dianne is an actress, advocate, stepmother, writer and someone who just plain makes us laugh. When she adopted a pitbull named Hurley her life was forever changed. She went from someone who was afraid of pitbulls and under the assumption that they were dangerous pups that were not safe in a home to the biggest pitbull lover around.

However, she quickly noticed how she was perceived and treated because of her pup.  She adopted another pitbull mix and created an Instagram for the duo as dog moms do.  They were even featured on the Ellen show!!!

Dianne took her unbridled love for pitbulls and created a brand and community of animal-lovers they wrote a children’s book series, created a clothing line, and a YouTube series.

When Hurley was diagnosed with Lymphoma, she was shattered and when he eventually passed away she was devastated.  She wrote a book about it “Hurley Goes To Heaven” to help children cope with the loss of their pets.

She’s gone on to create so much fun content that makes me laugh out loud mostly in public places. She believes that showing pitbulls as goofballs helps to change the perception of them as vicious creatures who are capable of hurting people so her content is aimed to demystify and educate people on the truth behind the pitbull Breed.

We are a big fan of Dianne and her mission!

Best Friends Animal Society, founded in its present form in 1993, is an American nonprofit 501 animal welfare organization. The group does outreach nationwide with shelters, rescue groups and members to promote pet adoption, no-kill animal rescue, and spay-and-neuter practices. They have life saving centers across the US and are growing aggressively to support and help homeless dogs.

Best Friends has set a goal to be No-Kill for Cats and Dogs in America’s Shelters by 2025

You believe that animals deserve compassion and good quality of life. You also love your community and want to take action for the pets and people in it. Here’s how.

Last year, about 733,000 dogs and cats were killed in our nation’s animal shelters, simply because they didn’t have safe places to call home. Together, we can change that and achieve no-kill for dogs and cats nationwide by 2025.

You can follow them at @bestfriendsanimalsociety on Instagram. Best Friends does fundraising events throughout the year including their nationwide event called Strut your Mutt. You can donate and support the rescue and animal advocacy efforts of Best Friends here.
