Caroline, Liesel and Murphy, affectionately known as The Girls, waited to see if their vision would connect with the community. One of the first stores in this area to promote pet related green products, ancestral raw diets, pet themed art and gourmet bakery goods. Celebrating ten years in business on Lake Avenue, Paws on the Avenue has been a cornerstore of downtown revitalization efforts. Active
in the business and pet communities, they've been a generous friend to an endless number of animal rescue organizations. Every year in December Paws on the Avenue hosts photo sessions with Santa with all proceeds benefiting the Palm Beach Animal Care and Control Spay Shuttle. Caroline had successfully blended her avocation into her vocation. The Girls oversaw the opening and the first years of Paws on the Avenue. They starred in an early commercial and greeted numerous customers with friendly tail wags. Murphy passed away suddenly due to an intestinal blockage that was not recognized by the relief emergency vet. (From this experience Caroline strongly urges people to trust their own intuition when they believe something is seriously wrong with their animals.) Liesel passed away at the ripe old age of 16 due no doubt to her good nutrition and healthcare. Jasper, another Weimaraner 3 years old, was adopted by Caroline in January 2009 from Palm Beach Animal Care and Control. Today Caroline, Becca, Dennis, Justin and Melanie (along with Snickers & Jasper) continue to fulfill Paws on the Avenue's vision.
