Wendy Diamond
Wendy Diamond is a social entrepreneur, humanitarian, endangered animal and rescue advocate, pet lifestyle expert, bestselling author, and TV personality. Wendy is heralded and recognized as a pioneer in the animal world, dubbed “Martha Stewart of the Milk Bone Dish” by The New Yorker and crowned the “Canine Queen” by Forbes.
In 1999, after rescuing her first shelter animal, a purebred Russian blue she named Pasha, and then a Maltese named Lucky, Wendy became passionately motivated to help save the 12 million animals euthanized in shelters every year.
Wendy founded Animal Fair Media with a specific mission in mind and spirit, to save disenfranchised animals in shelters, and endangered wildlife globally, by promoting animal welfare and rescue, healthy pet lifestyles, and responsible breeding. She reined in the leash and got busy.
Diamond revolutionized the pet industry by creating premiere pop culture benefits to promote animal adoption, advocacy and fundraising, including the Yappy Hour® cocktail parties, the premiere pet celebrity fashion show called Paws For Style®, Howloween, and St. Pawtricks Day, with proceeds benefiting animal rescue. Since she began Animal Fair Media, the number of animals euthanized annually has dropped by 58 percent, from 12 million to 4 million — but she is not stopping there! As a pioneer of the industry, Wendy is looked to as a leader in the animal fairness community. Charities around the world mirror Wendy’s pet lifestyle approach in their fundraising for their local community animal organizations.

WED is the day to celebrate, support, and empower women entrepreneurs and women-owned businesses globally.
