ABOUT JustPetStrollers.com
|

 |
JustPetStrollers.com was
founded
in 2005 by Geri and Augie Ray. The site is an extension
of their Milwaukee store (Metropawlis)
and their online e-commerce site (MetropawlisPetBoutique.com).
On the first e-commerce site, we received a lot of interest
and questions about pet strollers, so we wanted to create a
new site that focused on these exciting, new products.
We entered into the pet
boutique business thanks to the inspiration of Sassy
and Taro. We were very pleased to be named the
Best Pet Store in Milwaukee by the readers of the Shepherd
Express in our first year of operation!
We believe that the ways in which we
relate to our pets is changing. Pets are more than mere
possessions--they are companions that add relaxation, comfort
and joy to our lives--and they deserve the best we can give
them!
We also believe that pet products need
not be boring or old-fashioned but can reflect the personal
style of the pet companion. As such, we hope you enjoy
our unique line of pet strollers that we have personally
selected for our online shop.
Inspiration can come
from some unlikely sources. The inspiration for
Metropawlis came from an abandoned Domestic Shorthair and a
purebred Shiba Inu.
Sassy was abandoned and
being abused by neighborhood children when a friend of Geri's
took him in off the street. The friend could not keep
the pet due to her children's asthma, so Geri and Augie
agreed to adopt Sassy. Sassy is now a happy and mellow
cat who doesn't miss living on the street, at all.
Augie's brother and
sister-in-law, David and Sarah, adopted a fun and interesting
Shiba Inu named Taro. He is often mistaken for a fox
when being walked around Milwaukee's lower east side because
of his size and red coat.
These two animals
provide the inspiration for Metropawlis by demonstrating the
happiness, relaxation, and love a pet can provide.
