DONNA HOROWITZ
TOP DOG AKA PUBLISHER
Growing up with two rambunctious brothers and a sister made for a lively and interesting childhood for Donna , to say the least . Then add to the mix a menagerie of family pets ranging from puppies and kittens to snakes , hamsters , mice , turtles , and a parakeet or two along the way . One ( aka Donna ’ s mom ) would say that the family had their very own petting zoo .
Donna was the softhearted , unapologetic rescuer of the family , who would bring home any and every stray that needed love and attention . Even their yellow parakeet was rescued after being found fluttering near a Delta Airline jet as the family was seeing Mom off . So , it was only fitting that the family name the bird Delta . Donna ’ s innate need to rescue endured as a single mother of three children . She continued to open her arms and doors , adopting a couple of stray puppies to eventually become a family of six . Today Donna is the proud doting grandmother of two precious pooches and one fancy feline .
As the publisher of multiple print publications and a seasoned advertising professional with more than 25 years of experience , Donna always kept her eyes and ears open to the next community need . With animal adoptions on the rise and a more and more pet companions catering to their fur baby ’ s every desire , it became apparent to Donna that there was a growing need for a publication that focused solely on the welfare and lifestyle of family pets . And so was born Pup & Purr Magazine , which she is excited and honored to unleash to the Greater New Orleans area and beyond .
