We had the good fortune of connecting with Lisa Dennis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lisa, what role has risk played in your life or career?
My approach to risk is simple: leap, and the net will appear. I live by this mindset, embracing risks with the confidence and faith that a Higher Power supports me in pursuing my passion.”

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! My dedication and persistence have brought me to where I am today, refusing to give up no matter how tough it gets. Some days have been incredibly challenging, but I’ve learned to let go of yesterday and start each day fresh.

Through it all, I’ve gained countless lessons, but the most important one is to trust God and leave the outcome in His hands—He is my source of strength.

I want the world to know that rescue is never a solo effort; it takes a community. I am constantly in awe of how the rescue world comes together to save these beautiful, deserving animals.”

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was visiting for a week, I would take her to my favorite breakfast spot, Snooze .
We would go to Willow Bend mall to do some shopping, stop across the street to get a Crumbl cookie, go to my favorite shop in Bishop Arts, Davis Street Mercantile, and then go home and hang out with all the kitties!

There’s probably a lot more fun and exciting things to do in Dallas , but this fills the bill for me. I’m a simple gal and have very simple tastes!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to give a huge shoutout to everyone who has helped me along the way, including the incredible rescues that support me. A special thanks to the larger rescues that generously share their resources, as well as my amazing donors and friends—I couldn’t do this without you!”
