Our Place to Paws was born one day when the company’s president, writer Faye Rapoport DesPres, was sitting at her computer in the Boston area attempting to get some work done. One of her shelter-rescued cats, Cali, was curled up and purring happily on her lap.
Faye realized that she would have to move the cat if she wanted to act like a real professional, reach the computer keyboard easily, and focus on her work. She then realized that she just didn’t have the heart to actually move the cat. And so, Faye gave up on ever being a hot-shot, highly paid writer, and started Our Place to Paws instead. Cali, meanwhile, kept purring on her lap.
Since that day, Our Place to Paws has grown into a bi-monthly e-newsletter and a Web site enjoyed by animal lovers in the U.S. and worldwide. We have contributing writers, artists, Web designers and photographers who keep a special place for animals in their lives and hearts. Our mission is to offer entertaining and informative articles about (and “by”) animals, to give visitors a chance to submit and share their letters, stories and photos, and to help animals by featuring the work of animal rescues and other non-profit organizations. We also provide links for purchasing pet products and animal book reviews. And finally, our mission is to make you laugh, smile, hug your pets just a little harder, and maybe adopt a new best friend or take part in a rescue event in your area.
Our Place to Paws is ever-evolving, and is as strong and interesting as our readership. Please
write to us,
submit your own photos, enter our
contests, and suggest
story or interview subjects.
