Fran Grossman
President

Fran Grossman is President of Poodle Angels, Inc.  
Fran founded Poodle Angels, Inc. to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome abandoned, neglected and abused Poodles. However due to Covid-19 the mission of Poodle Angels, Inc. has added the “Poodle Angels Vetcare Program” which provides financial assistance to Poodle Owners including AKC, CKC, UKC Poodle owners as well as Poodle Mixes for their urgent Medical, Surgical or Emergency Veterinary Care Expenses. Fran hopes to nationalize this program quickly to assist poodle owners throughout the United States. To help fund this program Fran founded The Poodle Palace at ThePoodlePalace.com which is a brand of poodle gifts for humans as well as fun, unique items for poodles. A large portion of the profits from The Poodle Palace brand will be donated to Poodle Angels, Inc. In addition Fran founded a Poodle Portal known as PoodlePeople.com where poodle owners can find helpful information about poodles varieties including toy poodles, miniature poodles and standard poodles including general care, grooming and veterinary information. In addition Poodle People provides listings of poodle breeders, poodles available for sale and poodles available for adoption. A portion of the profits from PoodlePeople.com will also be donated to PoodleAngels.com

Fran’s goal is to grow Poodle Angels, Inc. so it will continue on for generations to come with the Poodle Angel Vetcare Program as well as the Senior Poodle Sanctuary where they can live out their lives in comfort with the best veterinary care when their owners can no longer care for them

Fran believes that due to the invention of cryptocurrency society has a once in a lifetime opportunity to accept cryptocurrency donations and fund a variety of programs for the benefit of dogs worldwide and welcome donations in Crypto. 

As an early internet entrepreneur since 1995 Fran created over 1000 successful job boards in almost every industry.  Fran holds a Masters in Healthcare Administration.
