About the Founder and Director, DiAnna Pfaff-Martin:

Letters to the Founder

DiAnna Pfaff-Martin was raised in Newport Beach, CA.  Daughter of well-respected Dr.Dudley A. Pfaff Jr. who volunteered his time to be the team physician for Jr. Lifeguards, Pop Warner and Junior All American football teams, as well as for the local Costa Mesa and Newport Beach High schools, giving physicals and treating the teams at the bench until his retirement. 

DiAnna remembers a Newport Beach with hills to roll down and her horses to ride and many animals made her house a home. Since 1996, DiAnna began making a difference in the life of local pets in 1996 when she began publishing her own local pet paper, educating pet owners, and getting animals new home through ads in her publication, "The Community Animal Report." She became successful by publicly promoting her pet paper and photos of local shelter animals in high traffic business areas in Newport Beach, California.

Her first animal organization, “The Community Animal Network”aka C.A.N., restructured into a public benefit tax exempt corporation in the year 2001 to allow the pet-loving community to give their dollars to support the veterinarian needs and the care of local rescued animals.

DiAnna founded her second animal organization, “The Animal Network of Orange County” as a pet placement organization, continuing her work to promote local animals finding new homes. The Animal Network takes all operations debt for C.A.N. (Community Animal Network) thereby protecting donated dollars to be used only for the vet medical needs and care of local death row and abandoned rescued animals. 

Di Anna publishes a “new” special topic publication called, “The Animal Report Of Orange County” as a community service.

Ms. Pfaff-Martin has modeled nationally since age 16, designed and manufactured her own clothing line in San Francisco during the 70's she called, "creative classics. In the 80's she married and had a son. DiAnna and her husband operated a bed and breakfast called, "The Masonic Manor" in San Francisco, in which DiAnna designed the "Iris" suite and "Orchid" room for travelers' enjoyment and  incorporated fashion shows for some guests entertainment. DiAnna founded a three dimensional image company (visual, verbal and non-verbal image management), called California Image Advisors in 1987. She continues her work upon request for her long term clients. DiAnna has found her “passion’s purpose” in getting animals new homes.
