Meet Laureen, proud mama of Bebie (left) and Max (right) and the owner of Furbabies.
She had been dreaming of opening her own pet shop since she was 8 years old so that "she can have all the dogs she wanted in the shop".
For many years she kept her dream in a small corner of her heart, hoping that one day she can finally fulfill her dream. And that day came on the 1st October 2014, when she opened Furbabies with the support of her partner and her family.
Bebie, her first dog, was her 13th birthday present from her parents and it was after many many years of persuasion that she managed to convince her parents to buy a dog.
Max, was her second dog, and the one who managed to take away a piece of her heart when she first saw him. He is also the shop manager of Furbabies who ensures that all the dogs in the shop have a wonderful time here.
Laureen has been in the pet industry for a few years, beginning with being a vet nurse to being an assistant in a pet shop to picking up grooming and travelling to Korea to hone her skills further.
She believes that through her passion, she will be able to pass on her knowledge as well as to help the animal community in the best ways possible.
