Colleen Paige is
America's leading Pet Lifestyle Expert. As an Animal Behaviorist, the
Editor-in-Chief of "Pet Home" Magazine and the author of "The Good
Behavior Book for Dogs" she offers advice to clients and readers
alike, ranging from dog and cat training and pet friendly interiors
and garden design to pet nutrition and pet safe pools and homes.
Her expertise in the field of animal behavior and pet friendly
interior design has been shared with TV viewers in shows like Evening
Magazine and ABC News in Los Angeles and in scores of popular national
publications, such as The Los Angeles Times, The Associated Press, The
New York Times, Total Health Magazine, People, The Denver Post and OK!
Celebrity Magazine, to name a few.
Submerging herself
for years in the sad and hopeless world of animal hospitals and
shelters, Colleen tried to make a difference but ultimately was left
feeling empty and frustrated every day. Working as a Paramedic for six
years in Los Angeles, she made a significant difference in the lives
of people - but, encountering hundreds of pets, injured or killed in
car accidents and house fires, continued to leave her with an unhealed
wound in her heart.
Determined to find
a way to save animals in a happier light and on a larger scale, she
created National Dog Day. After the overwhelming response to this day
that celebrates dogs for all they do, with literally a "great
big puppy party" which helps to find homes for thousands of them
across the nation, she felt confident to then create the same
lifesaving celebrations for other animals in need, such as cats,
horses and wildlife.
As a mother, she understands the necessary compassion that children
must have with animals in order to heal this planet. She therefore
plans to hold events that creates and celebrates that special
connection between them and teaches children to have compassion for
every living, as they are the future stewards of this planet.
Colleen founded the Animal Miracle Network, which is a virtual
web of love, encompassing her lifesaving holidays and connecting with
animal lovers, shelters, rescues and businesses who care about helping
orphaned animals find new homes through their participation in
lifesaving events. AMN's events give pet lovers an opportunity to
celebrate their furry kids with a wonderful day created to honor them
for the unconditional love they bestow. More importantly, it gives
shelters and rescues free space to exhibit and highlight the desperate
animals in their care.
Currently, Colleen is a Pet Lifestyle Expert for the
Total Health & Wellness Network,
a
work of collaboration between totalhealth magazine and the
American Wellness Network. She is also in pre-production of a new pet
friendly interior design series for television.
The Animal Miracle Network will be partnering annually with
shelters and businesses nationwide to promote these holidays and
encourage people to adopt pets from shelters nationwide and learn
about wildlife conservation.
