Patch_Packrat Patch O’Furr, the resident blog dog. Two main stays on DogPatch.Press that provide assistance are Fred Patten, a Furry historian and considered a main founder of the Furry Fandom, and Pup Matthias, contributor and editor.

DogPatch.Press covers a broad range of topics related to the Furry Community. The main site, has the top 10 newest stories for those who like to keep up to date with the news concerning the fandom as well as furry oriented culture and media. In addition to the main site is the Special Features and Top Articles section, which can be noted for the sheer quantity and quality of Furry articles, all organized and curated. This is broken down into 20 various topics, ranging from politics to furry trash, and everything in between. When time permits, newer articles are added, and older articles that become less pertinant are rotate out. It's a continuous work in progress.
One other page at Dogpatch.Press is the About Section with contact information and laurels. A few worth mentioning: Fred Patten, considered one of the founders of the furry fandom, has participated in the community in many ways, including being the founder of the Ursa Major Awards. Also, Dogpatch.Press won an Ursa Major Award for best Anthropomorphic Magazine for the year 2016. The page also mentions that Patch O’Furr organized a multiplex screening of Zootopia for furries, and that, in a collaboration with CollegeHumor, Patch nominated their animated series Furry Force for an Ursa Major, which CollegeHumor won.

CulturallyFd said “Dogpatch.Press has always been a source of inspiration. There was even a time where I read it daily. I’m thankful that they update as often as they do and with engaging posts that make me feel connected to the furry community. We’ve adapted their articles to video, we have been featured on the site and have been invited to be a regular feature. . . Patch has put in a lot of work to keep up to date, amassing a small team to keep the site posting regularly. Dogpatch.Press has become an invaluable resource for our community and, concurrent with Culturally F’ds own mission, those who are curious about the fandom.”
Category Contender: Protect Citizens
There are countless articles to sift through in DogPatch.Press, One in particular struck close to home for one of the FurryAmbassador writers. Literally. When Hurricane Harvey made landfall over Houston, twice, with a 12.5 ft (3.8 m) storm surge and a record 51.88 inches (1.42 m) of rainfall, this was considered a 1-in-1000 year flood event. Being the fourth largest city in the US with 6.6 million people, the property damage totaled $180 billion, second only to Hurricane Katrina. The Animal Rescues Need Your Help in the Wake of Hurricane Harvey article calling for anyone who can give support, was well timed and greatly needed. And a follow up article, Hurricane heartbreak: Dracokon’s house looks like Godzilla sat on it, was geared to help raise funds for a Houstonian furry who lost everything from the hurricane.
Category Contender: Support Prosperity
One stated claim of DogPatch.Press is “Fluff pieces every weekday!!” which, to a casual observer, may get looked over in favor of more juicy articles to read. But in all fairness, those articles, be it book submissions by Fred Patten, a kickstarter campaign, the opening of a furry themed business, or any one of the numerous guest posts, all add up. DogPatch.Press have over 5 ½ years’ worth of posts. One would be hard pressed to point out any one specific deed that qualifies DogPatch.Press for Promoting Prosperity, but rather, it is death by a million paper cuts. Those who are featured on DogPatch.Press have a marked increase in online traffic.
In Summary
Patch O’Furr, creator of Dogpatch.Press, has demonstrated time and time again a commitment to report furry related news, highlighting furries work through reviews or interviews, and organizing events in the community: Be it a furry movie viewing, a “hug in” peace rally that coincided with a church protest threat, or posting on a blog of the daily happenings of the furry fandom. We at FurryAmbassadors believe that this has the potential to help educate people, both inside, as well as outside, our subculture. Thus, Dogpatch.Press achieves the categories "Protect Citizens" and "Support Prosperity", qualifying for the title of FurryAmbassador.
