Unleashed, the Dog & Cat Store

Issa me, Smario!

​

If you asked my mom what I wanted for every birthday growing up, she’d tell you the same thing every year... a pet! I’ve loved dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and nothing made me prouder than discovering an animal’s favorite spot to be scratched.

​

That lifelong love turned into a career, and I’ve now been working in pet retail for over five years. Along the way, my appreciation for animals—and the bond I share with them—has only grown. At home, I’m lucky to share my life with two beloved cats: Minmo, my gray tabby, and Shadow, my senior black cat. I also carry a special place in my heart for my Carolina dog, Sasha, who helped shape my love for dogs and the way I care for animals today.

​

A quote I’ve always believed in says, “You can’t save the world by saving every pet, but for that pet, you saved their world.”

​

That philosophy is what drew me to Unleashed and what continues to inspire me every day. I’m proud to bring that passion to our Cary store, where supporting pets and the people who love them is at the heart of everything we do.

I can’t wait to meet you in Cary and swap stories about how much richer life becomes when animals are part of it!
