Unleashed, the Dog & Cat Store

Hi, I’m Julia!!

​

I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Wilmington, NC, I spent most of my time outside surrounded by pets - dogs, cats, ducks, and just about any animal I could convince my parents to let me bring home. I even ran a small farm for a while with horses and donkeys. Caring for animals has always felt like second nature!

​

In 2020, I brought home my dream dog - Bentley, a liver-spotted Dalmatian with a whole lot of personality! From day one, he struggled with allergies, chronic ear infections, and nonstop vet visits. After being told he'd need to be on a hydrolyzed diet for life, I knew there had to be a better path.

​

That’s when I found Unleashed - and it was a total turning point. I finally felt supported, informed, and hopeful. In 2022, I joined the Unleashed team! I love getting to know all the pets that come through our doors and building real relationships with the people who love them. It’s one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

​

Since then, my spotted dog obsession has only grown. I’ve added two wild and wonderful German Shorthaired Pointers - Kimber and Lady Bird - to the mix!
