THE FRIENDS

For over two decades, Nancy and Stephanie have shared a unique bond—an unlikely pairing of contrasting personalities that complement each other in surprising ways. Nancy, a sharp-witted homebody with a no-nonsense attitude, stands in contrast to Stephanie’s outgoing yet composed demeanor. Their differences extend to their beliefs—Nancy is an atheist, while Stephanie is deeply rooted in her faith as a “church girl”—but these contrasts have only strengthened their friendship.

Their story began in Hollywood, where Nancy thrived as a publicist for a major studio, later representing some of the biggest names in music, while Stephanie built her career as an award-winning TV and film producer and entrepreneur. Though life eventually led them to different cities—Nancy to Houston and Stephanie to Los Angeles—their shared love for dogs has been a constant thread.

Stephanie is the proud mom of two lively Beagles, Tupac and Snoop Dogg, whose playful antics embody her vibrant personality. Nancy’s home, on the other hand, is a bustling sanctuary for eight dogs—Pittie Cent, Greta, Minnie, Monkey, Precious, River, Stinky, and Savannah. What started as a casual effort to foster homeless pups evolved to a full-time rescue mission. Nancy’s commitment to saving dogs—often rescuing them on the very day they were scheduled for euthanasia—reflects her boundless compassion. At any given time, she also cares for several foster dogs, making her home as lively as it is loving.

Now single women with adventurous spirits, Nancy and Stephanie are ready to embark on their boldest chapter yet: leaving America behind. With ten dogs in tow and an unshakable resolve, these two friends are gearing up for One Great Escape—a journey that will test their resilience and redefine what it means to start anew.

NANCY

Over a decade in Houston dog rescue will change a person.

But it takes a lot of guts—with a huge side of insanity—to venture down that road to begin with.

Nancy didn’t set out to become a rescuer. She moved to Houston after eight successful years as a Warner Bros. publicist, continuing the momentum she’d built in L.A. by signing Chamillionaire as one of her first independent clients.

In 2014, her soulmate dog, Sammie Beans, went missing—and was never found. The months-long search wrecked her, opened her eyes, and rewired her life. What she saw couldn’t be unseen: dogs dumped, discarded, forgotten. So, she started rescuing and fostering in Sammie’s honor.

And she’s still here—hundreds of dogs later, every size, every story—despite the toll it’s taken on her sanity, her savings, and her heart. And now? She has eight dogs.

Nancy’s the one people call when there’s a pit bull limping across the freeway. The one that fosters the dogs no one else will. She’s the one dogs trust even after being failed by everyone else. She’s loud, loyal, brutally honest, and still searching for what she lost with Sammie.

A single mother who built a PR career no one thought she could pull off, Nancy’s spent her life proving people wrong—and showing up for the ones no one else would. She’s fierce, unfiltered, and all-in. If you need someone who’ll say the hard thing, take the hard road, or save the hard case—she’s already there, with the tarp, the shovel and keys to the getaway car.

STEPHANIE

Stephanie is the kind of person who shows up—for people, for animals, for communities—without waiting to be asked. She’s faith-led, family-rooted, and the emotional safe-haven in any room. If Nancy is the fire, Stephanie is the warmth.

Her dogs, Snoop and Tupac, are brothers—rescued together, raised together, and now following her around the world. That’s fitting. Stephanie doesn’t separate love from loyalty. Once she lets you in, you’re in.

She’s an award-winning producer, educator, and storyteller who has traveled the world and brought compassion to every project she’s touched. Whether she’s working behind the scenes on a major motion picture, helping shape young minds, or quietly fixing what others can’t, Stephanie leads with heart and purpose. She’s polished without pretense. Driven without ego. Grounded by faith, but never out of touch.

She didn’t expect this chapter—to pack up her life at this point, head abroad with ten rescue dogs and a best friend, and film the whole thing. But life, like love, shows up in unexpected ways. Stephanie’s not afraid of the detour. She's just making sure everyone is fed, safe, and heard on the way. These two friends might live in different zip codes, but they always find a way to make things work. This isn’t where the story starts. It’s where it finally gets to the good part.
