In the heart of charitable work and dedication to pets, a story emerges that combines both ambition and compassion. It’s the story of Paws on Purpose, inspired by a delightful chocolate cocker spaniel, Praline Pecan, and a backyard that symbolizes safety, joy, and assurance.
The Backyard Paradise
Every time I watched Praline Pecan play in her spacious backyard, a sense of contentment washed over me. It wasn’t just a space; it was a haven for her—a place where she felt safe, happy, and free. This environment sparked an idea: shouldn’t every dog, especially those of survivors, experience the same sense of safety and assurance that Praline enjoys in her backyard?
Embarking on a Charitable Journey
Motivated by this vision, I embarked on the mission to ensure every dog could have a ‘Praline-style’ backyard experience. This desire gave birth to Praline’s Backyard Dog Services and later, Praline’s Backyard Foundation. As the endeavors grew, the maze of the 501c-3 application process unfolded. It was complex, but it was a challenge I was willing to take on.
The Birth of Paws on Purpose
After successfully navigating the intricacies of the 501c-3 process, I felt a calling. A calling to help others, especially pet businesses, understand and efficiently move through this procedure. This was how Paws on Purpose was conceived—out of the experience, challenges, and eventual triumph in the non-profit world.
Shaping the Future with Paws on Purpose
Today, Paws on Purpose stands as a beacon for pet businesses aiming to amplify their impact. Rooted in the inspiration drawn from Praline Pecan’s backyard joys, our mission is to guide and empower pet entrepreneurs in their journey towards achieving 501c-3 status and beyond.
To all the passionate pet entrepreneurs out there: If you’re aiming to make a difference, to extend the safety and assurance of a backyard to every dog, Paws on Purpose is here to guide you every step of the way.
