ABOUT TERESSA

I am a Cleveland native, born and raised. As a military veteran, I have traveled the world and no place is better than home. My love for dogs, business and this city are three things that inspired me to launch Max & Alayna’s Paws Play in Cleveland, creating jobs and economic and community development.​

I have always had a love for dogs and a passion for business so combining the two for me is a dream. Max & Alayna’s Paws Play is a place where owners can feel secure in leaving their Paws in capable hands. As a teacher’s students become her children, my pack grows a little more every day! I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve your family.

ABOUT MAX & ALAYNA

Woof! My name is Max, short for Maximillion. At the age of 4, I gained my heavenly wings when I succumbed to Cancer. Since I was such a Pawesome little cousin, I am being remembered in the operations of Paws Play. There will be future fundraisers for research to help discover the cure to keep Paws healthy in honor of me.
