A DOG'S LIFE: PART 1: MORE AND MORE
PEOPLE
ARE GOING FROM OWNER TO 'PET PARENT'
(September 17, 2006- Anne
Howland, Ottawa Sun)

Dogs, dogs and
more dogs! They're our friends, colleagues, sometimes even our
"children." The role of canines in our society has certainly
grown in recent years, and that can bring both challenges and
rewards. This week, the Ottawa Sun takes a look at the life of the
modern Rover, from becoming part of the family, to working and
playing with us, to the final goodbye. We hope you'll paws a
while and enjoy our five-part series.

SUCCESS STORY
(Ottawa
Community Loan Fund and Canadian Youth Business Foundation)

“OCLF and CYBF helped me to build my business by freeing me
from the worry of having to make big loan payments.” Amy
Shannon Leclair
Amy Shannon’s caring attitude towards animals led her to
become an expert in her field. Working long hours at an animal
hospital, she was alarmed by the number of pet-sitting related
emergencies. Believing many of these accidents to be
preventable, Amy Shannon decided to take a more pro-active role
and open up her own professional pet sitting business, Loving
Paws and House Sitting.
What attracted Amy Shannon to OCLF was the first year,
interest only
payments offered by the CYBF program. She also saw the value of
being provided with a mentor to help guide her through the
initial start-up phase. These supports freed her from the
conventional pressures of a traditional loan, allowing her to
concentrate on developing her business. The hard work has paid
off and today Loving Paws and House Sitting employs over a dozen
sitters with more on the way.
