Organizations created and founded by Diana in her lifetime.
1998: Pampered Paws Veterinary Services
After her graduation from Ohio State University’s Veterinary Medicine program, Dr. Diana Huang created her first veterinary practice, focusing on small animal pet care, such as cats and dogs.
Diana developed her skills on animal behavior, pet ownership counseling, and various veterinary needs for her clients.
1998: Paw Prints Cross Stitch

Not to be limited by her veterinary practice, Diana also created a business around one of her crafting passions – counted cross stitch. She researched supplies, learned website creation skills from scratch, shipping and payment options, and Paw Prints Cross Stitch was born. Paw Prints was a groundbreaking Internet based business before such things were popular. Amazon was rather new at the time, for reference.
Paw Prints Cross Stitch turned a profit in year one, and amassed a loyal customer base and independent design line, Paw Printings. The design line’s first nationally distributed design is shown here, with Diana surrounded by all the copies needed to fill the order.
2000: Paw Prints Cross Stitch Store
In August 2000, Diana expanded her online business to a brick and mortar store in Worthington, Ohio. Founded on the same principles as her Internet business, it was a place for people passionate about cross stitch to obtain supplies and discover new projects.
Diana’s physical and online stores created a fantastic and loyal community of stitchers in the central Ohio area.
2015: For All Species Vet
Diana launched her permanent veterinary practice in 2015, combining her new found passion in wildlife and “all species” with her popular mobile veterinarian concept to create For All Species Veterinary Services.
Through For All Species, Diana’s mission was to bring affordable veterinary care to any and all animal lovers, with no limitation on exotic species.
For All Species’ diverse and expansive client list was grown primarily through word-of-mouth, as positive client experiences led to recommendations and referrals from all of her clients.
2016: For All Species Education
Diana’s Education nonprofit launched in 2016. For All Species Education was created to bring enriching animal programs and education to any audience, regardless of financial means. Through grants, donations, and a full investment of herself, Diana brought the joy of wildlife knowledge and encounters to tens of thousands of Ohioans.
Diana’s thorough work proved that a small organization could make a huge impact. Diana brought her programs to young and mature audiences alike, from Girl Scout troops to summer camps, YMCA, retail store holiday offerings, fairs and festivals, and even Groundhog Day marathons!
