Candace Botha

I am very proud to be the founder and publisher of Suncoast Pet, an award-winning bimonthly magazine for animal lovers in Southwest Florida—specifically Sarasota and Manatee counties. I began my writing career as an associate editor for a major publishing company in New York City, and I have owned an advertising agency and another award-winning magazine in northwest New Jersey. My passions are writing, painting, spending time with family, friends and animals...of course! Please visit www.SuncoastPet.com for more information about the magazine.

In late 2016, I created and designed a brand new line of T-shirts that will help to raise funds for local animal groups on Florida's Suncoast. Right now, 10% of every T-shirt sold will be donated to a local animal group that is spotlighted on my brand new website, www.meandmydogusa.com. As the number of T-shirt sales grows, the amount donated to animal rescue also will grow. Visit the site and check out these great T's!
