President and Founder
Our President and Founder is Stephanie M. Edwards. Stephanie, as an elder law attorney, heard many of her clients share that they wanted to have pets in their lives but worried about what would happen to their furry friends if they lost the ability to care for them. Caregiver PAWS Connection, Inc. was created as a resource for seniors to keep animal companions in their lives.
Our Mission
Our Caregiver PAWS Connection mission is to educate our community on the healing and nurturing power of pets and provide resources and solutions that enable seniors and their family member caregivers to care for their current pets or to bring new pets into their lives.
Currently our programs are available to seniors and their family member caregivers living in Pinellas County, Florida.
