Feathers & Fur Talent Agency was founded in 1992 by Paula Ratoza.
Credits include: movies; local, national, and international live action commercials and photo shoots; documentaries; television series; fashion shows; and live theatre. Feathers & Fur specializes in dogs and has access to all types of domestic animals and exotic birds, with experience handling bugs, ducks, horses, cats, and virtually all other species of animals.

Paula Ratoza has been training dogs for over thirty years. She has taught obedience classes for Portland Park Bureau and Portland Community College, and developed the dog-training program for Mt. Hood Community College. Since 1997, she has coordinated the dog agility demonstration at the Ocktoberfest in Portland, Oregon. For the past three years, she has arranged a two-day agility competition that has included many of the top dogs in the Pacific Northwest vying for prize money. Paula "rubs shoulders" with some of the best-looking and best-trained dogs in the country, and as a result, was able to cast over forty dogs each for Eukanuba and ProPlan commercials.

On a more personal note, Paula is a true dog-lover, and breeds, trains, and handles
Doberman Pinschers in conformation, obedience, agility, tracking, rally, musical free-style, and protection. Her own dogs have earned High-In-Trial awards in both obedience and agility competitions. In addition, Paula and her dogs share their love through community service projects such as nursing home, hospital, and school visitations.
