Janice Brown, Founder and Editorial Director

Janice Brown is passionate about animals. She is the co-author of DogGone Chicago: Sniffing Out the Best Places to Take Your Best Friend, is president of the Tree House Animal Foundation, and was instrumental in bringing together the Chicago-area shelters to form the Chicago Animal Shelter Alliance (CASA). She founded Chicagoland Tails in 2000 -- a local, freely distributed pet-magazine with a mission to make a difference for animals. Today, Tails Pet Media Group, Inc. publishes award-winning magazines in 14 major markets (with more on the way). Janice has participated in conferences and seminars nationally with organizations such as Maddie’s Fund, Best Friends, and the SF/SPCA. She is always seeking ways to keep current on new animal trends, focusing heavily on rescue and adoption. However, when it comes to education, Janice knows that all she has to do is come home to her family. It’s usually her two dogs (Luna and Maple) and two cats (Jake and Obelix) that teach her the most.
