Why did you start Pause for Paws?
I have always wanted to be a veterinarian and lions have always been my favorite animal. As I got older, I become more aware that health issues are far from the only issues that affect not only lions, but all animals. This prompted me to steer my educational journey and career path towards not only the field of veterinary medicine but wildlife health and conservation research as well. I had wanted to start a meaningful initiative for a long time, but always lacked the time to do so. Once, I actually set aside the time to create "Pause for Paws", it all came together so naturally and I am extremely excited to share my passion with the world.
Is Pause for Paws really a not-for-profit organization?
Pause for Paws was created to be a fully not-for-profit organization with 100% of proceeds going directly towards the preservation of lions. Any monetary donation made on this website will be fully put towards active campaigns. Any profits from the purchase of officially licensed Pause for Paws apparel or accessories will also be donated to active campaigns and causes. I created this organization to be a liaison in partnership with larger organizations. I seek to reach the part of the population who isn't as familiar with the issues lion face everyday, especially students.
Can I get involved with Pause for Paws more?
There are so many ways to get involved with Pause for Paws and the causes it supports! Any donation or purchase made from this website, goes directly towards saving the African Lion. If you have any further questions, comments, or ideas or want to get involved with the Pause for Paws organization itself, please leave me a message or reach out to me on any of Pause for Paws' or my personal social media accounts.
