Lee Asher isn't your average animal-lover.
In 2018, he quit his career to follow his passion and take his rescued pups on the road. He's spent the past two years traveling the majority out of the time in an RV and now a remodeled school bus, with a posse of dogs he's rescued from shelters with one mission: to get more people to adopt shelter animals.
With a passionate fan base and partnerships with hundreds of shelters across the country, he's helped give shelter animals the spotlight and introduce them to their forever homes while on the road. Last year, he even caught the attention of talkshow host Ellen DeGenres and appeared on the show to share his message.
On this episode of The Good Fork with host Diana Edelman, Lee talks about quitting his career to live in an RV with his pack of dogs and creating The Asher House, a foundation that promotes adoption and animal rescue.
He also talks about his experience being catapulted into fame thanks to his series on The Dodo and appearing on Ellen; what it's like to open up his Skoolie and animals at adoption events across the country; tips on training pups and so much more.
