Paws Network: A place for pet owners to meet
Most pet owners think of their furry friends as more than just pets but as actual family members. The Internet has given pet owners a plethora of outlets to find pet behavior and health information, join pet discussion groups and even post videos of funny pet tricks.
Paws Network is a one-stop social networking site for pet lovers everywhere. Jack Cudd launched the site in 2009 to provide pet owners a place to share photos, videos and information about their pets.
Lifetime pet owner launches Paws Network
Paws Network founder Jack Cudd grew up on a farm and is a lifelong pet owner. He retired from a 40-year career as a mechanical engineer in Texas and wanted to start a website for pet lovers like himself.
He launched Paws Network in 2009. The site has about 60 members, and Cudd is hoping for 300 by the end of 2010.
Cudd admits there is a glut of similar sites catering to pet owners.
"I'm not trying to be the top person," he says. "I want to make the site interesting, meet new friends and make some income."
Membership is free, so Paws Network's revenue comes solely from advertising. Many of his members hail from Texas, but they're also from China and all over the world. Cudd caters to domestic, small-animal lovers in North America and Europe.
Pet owners post photos, blogs of their furry friends on Paws Network
Joining Paws Network is easy, and it's free. Plus, it's fun. Members can showcase their beloved pets in a variety of ways on Paws Network.
Post pet photos of the dog romping through the snow at Christmas or your precious kitty snoozing in the sun. Members can also post videos, whether informative or just plain entertaining.
Paws Network also hosts pet-related blogs on a variety of topics. The site encourages members to share their stories and expertise on topics like pet travel, dog training, pet allergies and animal health.
Members can post classified ads on a variety of topics:
- Animal rescue services
- Community fundraisers
- Pet charities
- Jobs
- Lost pets
- Pet shows
- Spay and neuter programs
- Special events
- Volunteer opportunities
With the massive quantity of pet information the Internet affords, it's nice to have a place pet owners can go to ask opinions and advice from people they trust about their dog or cat. Paws Network hosts forums for members to do just that. Whether your dog's barking is driving the neighbors crazy or you're curious about letting your indoor cats venture outside, Paws Network members can tap into other pet owners' experience.
There are a number of "just-for-fun" features on Paws Network, too. It is, after all, a social networking site for pet owners. Members can post and answer polls and quizzes. They can also create groups based on interests or pet type. Friends can chat live and instant message friends on Paws Network.
Join Paws Network and connect with other pet owners
The site is only as rich as its member's participation. That's why Cudd ensures Paws Network is user-friendly. Members don't have to be HTML experts to post blogs and pictures of their beloved pets.
Whether you're looking to connect with other Portuguese Water Dog owners or just show off your kitty's unbelievable cuteness, Paws Network is a fun and free online environment for pet lovers everywhere.
