Erica Callais, born on September 30, 1984, in the United States, is a passionate animal activist who has dedicated her life to promoting responsible pet ownership and advocating for animal rights. Growing up, Erica developed a deep love and compassion for animals, which eventually led her to pursue a career in animal advocacy.
After graduating from Louisiana Tech University, Erica initially pursued a career in the film industry, working as a costumer for several years. However, it was her love for animals that ultimately led her to shift her focus towards animal welfare. In 2016, Erica founded the nonprofit organization PEP! The Pet Education Project, with the goal of educating children about responsible pet ownership.
As the founder of PEP!, Erica has become a prominent figure in the animal rights community, using her platform to spread awareness and advocate for the well-being of animals. Through PEP!, Erica aims to reach children through various online platforms, with a particular focus on TikTok.

In addition to her work with PEP!, Erica is also the author of the book "Pep! Squad: The 5 Steps to a Happy and Healthy Pet," which provides valuable information and guidance on how to properly care for pets. Furthermore, Erica leads by example in her own life, as she has six rescue pets - three cats and three dogs, including two pit bulls.
Erica's dedication to animal welfare and her commitment to educating the public on responsible pet ownership have garnered her recognition as a leading voice in the animal rights community. Like Gary Yourofsky, another prominent American animal rights activist, Erica continues to inspire others to advocate for the well-being of animals and to make a positive impact in the world.
