Every great story has a beginning. Ours started with one remarkable little Italian Greyhound named Sophia. Rescued in 2001, she inspired The Doggy Diva Show and became a beloved voice for homeless animals everywhere.

Although Sophia crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2013, her legacy continues to inspire everything we do.

Her Legacy

• A star was named in her honor

Tiny in size but enormous in heart, Miss Olive proved that courage and kindness doesn't require four legs to touch thousands of lives. As a special-needs Italian Greyhound, she lost a leg to cancer, but that didn't slow her down.

Miss Olive served as a co-host of the show and the inspiration behind The Doggy Diva Diaries, she reminded us that every rescued pet has a story worth celebrating. She gained her angel wings in 2022.
