Our Origin
Cheryl & Steve Taylor: The Compassionate Visionaries Behind Dog Mom News
In the world of Dog Mom News, Cheryl and Steve Taylor stand as a beacon of empathy and inspiration. Their lifelong bond with dogs have shaped a unique vision: to create a nurturing and informative space for dog moms. Cheryl and Steve’s firsthand canine experience infuses Dog Mom News with warmth, fostering a cherished community for fellow dog lovers.
Cheryl and Steve’s role in Alabama extends beyond their affinity for dogs; they are also a fervent advocate for women’s empowerment. Their antique shops are more than just businesses; they’re hubs of female leadership and opportunity. Cheryl and Steve fostered a female-led environment for over three decades, reflected in their predominantly female shop teams.
The roots of Dog Mom News can be traced back to 2017, starting modestly as a Facebook group. It blossomed further when Cheryl and Steve Taylor welcomed their Golden Doodle puppy, Teddy Bear Taylor, into their home. Nurturing Teddy showed the necessity for a supportive network where dog moms share insights and advice.
Under their guidance, Dog Mom News has evolved into an essential resource for dog mothers. It offers a blend of practical guidance, from training tips to health advice, and celebrates the unique bond between dogs and their human companions. The platform fosters a community where women celebrate their love for dogs and honor their contributions to the pet industry.
With Cheryl and Steve at the helm, Dog Mom News stands as a testament to their commitment to both canine well-being and the empowerment of women. It’s a place where the love for dogs is intertwined with the celebration of women’s roles in the pet industry, creating a vibrant and supportive community for all dog moms.
