Dianella resident FurBaby Boutique & Café owner Shari Lovreta has battled red tape and mountains of paperwork since 7 years ago to open a dog café. Now she can finally have a place where customers & dogs can have a good time together.

Lovreta always wanted to open a dog café in Perth. She wanted to build a fur community like it exists internationally. But she was disappointed in the redtapism in Australia. Her proposal was rejected by many councils till she got support from the City of Stirling to take over a vacant site in Westminster. After that it took 2 years for her to finally open FurBaby. She said if anybody thinks it will be easy then they are in for rude shock. Everyone has to fight the fight. At the end it’s worth it, she says.

She was looking forward to a more open dialogue with local government decision makers as requirement weren’t practical all the time. She maintains it’s really difficult because the officials are not living and breathing the idea and are not ready for a discussion. If they issue a No, it’s a No without any talk whatsoever. But now she is done with it and excited for the journey ahead with the dog café and really proud of a community she has built.

Lovreta says dogs bring so much joy to everyone and can really help with anxiety & socialisation. She feels it’s important for families to spend time with dogs on weekends.

SPOTLIGHT 2024: Meet Roxy Aguirre

Roxy Aguirre’ story is a powerful example of resilience and transformative growth. Residing in Los Angeles, Roxy began her entrepreneurial journey a decade ago, driven by personal adversities and a resolve to reclaim her strength and confidence. Her narrative unfolds against a backdrop of challenging life events: her son’s autism diagnosis, her mother’s cancer fight, and her own battle with Lyme Disease. Rather than succumbing to these challenges, they sparked Roxy’s determination to rebuild her life and health from scratch.

Roxy’s brand mirrors her life’s story, with a mission to empower women to fully embrace their lives. She utilized social media to build and enhance her brand’s visibility. On her platforms, Roxy encourages women, particularly mothers, to pursue their aspirations, such as participating in a photoshoot—an experience they might have once deemed unattainable. Her primary goal is to empower women to recognize their own worth and potential, highlighting the innate strength and resilience of womanhood.

This summer, Roxy’s brand is set to grow with the debut of “Love Roxy,” a lingerie line that encourages women to feel sexy and empowered beyond the home. This line is designed for diverse occasions, from a Parisian dinner to a Miami night out, promoting confidence and allure in any setting.

In Spring 2024, Roxy plans to expand her influence with “Sexy Affair,” an elegant podcast that aims to destigmatize discussions about sex and promote a healthy acceptance of sexual fantasies and desires. The podcast will feature a casual, open atmosphere with a variety of topics, humorous segments, and interactive games, all enriched by Roxy’s Latina heritage. While primarily targeting women, the podcast will also explore diverse aspects of human sexuality, aiming to be inclusive of all listeners.

Looking forward, Roxy envisions her brand as an ecosystem centered around a non-profit for autistic children. This initiative will provide therapeutic support through activities involving plants and animals, aiming to foster a supportive community where individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, feel valued and included. Roxy is committed to providing platforms for those often marginalized in society, including opportunities for models on the autism spectrum, underpinning her values of love, help, and opportunity in creating a familial, supportive environment.

Roxy maintains a dynamic social media presence, with profiles on Instagram (@bodybyroxy), Twitter (@roxyreyes69), and TikTok (@bodybyroxy), which showcase her journey, brand, and mission to empower and inspire. These platforms are a testament to her belief in the power of social media to effect positive change and build community.

Ultimately, Roxy’s narrative is one of overcoming adversity, empowering others, and nurturing community connections. From navigating personal health issues to developing a brand that uplifts and inspires, she continues to redefine what is possible, connecting her clothing line, podcast, and non-profit initiatives in a cohesive vision to create a more inclusive and supportive world. Roxy’s journey is not solely about her transformation but is focused on inspiring and facilitating the empowerment of others, one woman at a time.
