Meet the Heart Behind Love at Fist Paww

Love at First Paww is more than just a blog—it’s a mother-daughter dream fueled by a deep passion for saving lives. Our ultimate goal is to create a rescue dedicated to saving dogs from euthanasia lists and giving them the second chance they deserve. We know that every pet has a story, and we want to be part of the chapter that leads them to a loving forever home. As lifelong animal lovers and devoted pet parents to our own four-legged family—Buddy, Bonnie, Dice, and Domino—we understand firsthand the joys, challenges, and unconditional love that come with pet care. That’s why we’re committed to sharing reliable advice, heartfelt stories, expert tips, and honest product reviews to help fellow pet lovers on their journey. Through education, advocacy, and building a community of compassionate animal lovers, we’re working every day to turn our rescue dream into a reality. Together, we can make a difference—one paw at a time!

Our Team

Almeta Norfleet

Hi, I’m Almeta Norfleet—the heart and mind behind Love at First Paww. My love for animals has been a lifelong passion, and this blog is just the beginning of a much bigger dream: starting a rescue dedicated to saving dogs from euthanasia lists and giving them the second chance they deserve.

Alongside my amazing mother, we are working tirelessly to turn this dream into a reality. We believe every dog deserves love, safety, and a forever home, and our mission is to build a rescue that makes that possible. Until then, Love at First Paww serves as a space where pet parents can find reliable advice, heartfelt stories, and expert insights on pet care and wellness.

My four amazing dogs—Buddy, Bonnie, Dice, and Domino—are at the heart of everything I do. They’ve shown me firsthand the deep bond we share with our pets, the joys and challenges of pet parenting, and the responsibility that comes with giving animals the best life possible. Through education, advocacy, and community, I hope to inspire others to join me on this journey.

Love at First Paww is more than a blog—it’s the foundation of a future rescue, a space for passionate pet lovers, and a step toward saving lives.
