Her history of helping animals is infinite – she has rescued puppies and their mamas from puppy mills, saved dogs from kill shelters down south, met planeloads of strays on runways in South Carolina, transported animals from faraway states to Massachusetts, bunking in hotels with 20 plus dogs along the way. She coordinated numerous rescue missions from the Virgin Islands, transporting planeloads of dogs to the mainland. Between Hurricanes Maria and Irma, she rescued over 1000 dogs from Texas to the Florida Panhandle – with the help of Kenny Chesney. The stories are endless.  

Over the years, she has assembled a mighty team who have helped to further her cause: There is Dr. Cheryl, a retired veterinarian, who helps care for the animals once they are rescued, Lynn, a passionate animal lover who has accompanied Leslie on many of her missions, and Caroline, a Vineyard local who has fostered many of these rescues until they are adopted. With their help, Leslie is building a new facility to house and care for rescue animals until they are adopted. This new compound will sit on a half-acre of land in Cape Cod. Once built it will include a barn, a quarantine building, and living quarters for full-time help. After all, Leslie won’t quit until every animal is rescued.
