September News at Unleashed

We're gearing up for fall and looking forward to all the fun happenings at Unleashed this month!

If you love fall and pets, you will want to go ahead and mark your calendar for our our Fall Tea Paw-ty, complete with pet-friendly pumpkin spice lattes, games, a treat buffet, and more. Join us September 27th between 1- 4 pm for lots of fall fun, with or without your pooch! And don't miss the extra special deals happening that weekend! Our Fall Tea Paw-ty will round out a weekend of celebrating independent pet stores. While officially, "Neighborhood Pet Store Day," is Saturday, 9/26, we will be celebrating (and offering sales) all weekend long- Friday-Sunday!

September also brings lots of opportunities for you to fall in love with your new best friend at one of our many meet and greets with local animal rescues! Whether you're interested in adopting, fostering, or simply want to get your dog/cat cuddle fix, we would love for you to join us!
