About the Host
Unleashed, the Dog & Cat Store is a locally owned and operated chain of holistic pet stores with a huge focus on giving back to the community. Unleashed’s owner/founder came up with the idea of Spring Fling as a fun, community event celebrating spring with the whole family while raising awareness and donations for local area animals in need. Unleashed focuses on this throughout the year, collecting donations in store, hosting adoption events and other fundraisers, but wanted to host a larger festival to celebrate with the community and do even more for the animals. Donations of pet supplies, office supplies, cleaning supplies, money, and more can be dropped of at any Unleashed location any day of the year or brought to Spring Fling and Unleashed will make sure that they go directly to local area animal rescues, shelters, and non-profit organizations. For more information about Unleashed, including where to find the store nearest you, visit www.unleashedmutt.com.
