Angels With Tails Now Have Wings
Gayle & SHERPA
SHERPA, a Lhasa Apso was born June 23, 1987 in West Stockbridge, Massachusetts. She was the canine love of my life and inspiration for SHERPA’S Pet Trading Company, which I launched in 1988. She was the most wonderful gift ever given to me, that gave me the opportunity to do what I was really meant to do in my life. Angels With Tails Now Have Wings is about the wonderful life that SHERPA gave me.
From the moment I began SHERPA, more than 30 years ago, I have made it my mission to ensure our beloved pets can travel safely, comfortably and stylishly with the people that love them the most. SHERPA was always a real “spokes dog” about pet travel. She was always by my side delivering her message with grace and humility. SHERPA loved meeting her four-legged friends across the country and the world and was so honored to be on Oprah’s Millionaire a Minute, Cesar Milan and the many other superstars and super shows who also believed our mission and goal. Fame never went to her head! A new friend or a new treat still sent her into total delight!
Thanks to our mission on pet travel advocacy I continue to this day with my vision, mission and dream. SHERPA’s soft-sided pet carriers and other luggage became a truly iconic lifestyle brand which I can proudly say has an impeccable legacy, celebrating the exceptional care today’s pet-loving consumers expect and that our pets richly deserve for the love and joy they bring to us.
