Imagine Peace for Pups was founded by two good friends and animal advocates, Lisa Clark and Lisa Nelson, in the Seattle, Washington area. They became acutely aware of how little time dogs are given at shelters, some barely have 24 hours before being euthanized.

One dog, Beau, changed their lives forever and then they decided to become part of their solution. They focused on saving lives of dogs in particular from areas like Central and Southern California where they are at a higher risk to get euthanized and live inhumanely on the streets. They immediately began sharing, posting, pledging, in addition to coordinating transportation for dogs from the California to the Pacific Northwest. They became an integral part of a huge network of people trying to save the lives of adoptable dogs.
