Denise Fleck
Denise Fleck is the Pet Safety Crusader™, inspiring people of all ages to “Be the one who makes the difference in the life of an animal!” Raised by a gentle giant, Ulysses the Great Dane, Denise has dedicated her life to caring and advocating for animals. As a proud dog mom to fourteen canines, her soft spot lies with senior dogs, so she gave her heart to the Grey Muzzle Organization as its Executive Direction and Board Chair from 2016-2025. Denise believes there is no greater love than reflected in the affectionate gaze of a senior dog. Prior to Grey Muzzle, she volunteered for 15 years as a "boots on the ground" animal rescuer.
Fleck's commitment to animal welfare led her from a career as a movie studio publicist to pouring her heart into training, researching, practicing, and then developing her own Pet First Aid & CPR curriculum which she has taught to more than 33,000 pet parents and pet professionals. She demonstrated these skills on television, including CBS–TV’s ‘The Doctors,’ Animal Planet, KTLA, and CNN, but now focuses on training the next generation of animal care instructors. She also created courses in pet disaster preparedness and first aid for birds, rabbits, and other four-legged friends. Learn more at www.PetSafetyCrusader.com.
