Support Our Beloved Pet Community

Dear Friends, Animal Lovers, and Our Amazing Community,

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do — but I am writing today with open an heart to ask for help.

Pampered Pet Boutique & Barkery began as a dream. A dream inspired by Zeus, a gentle, loving pitbull who changed my life forever.

Zeus wasn’t just my dog — he was my family. His joy, loyalty, and huge heart inspired me to open a shop where every pet could feel that same love. A place filled with warmth, homemade treats, wagging tails, and joyful moments shared between people and their animals.

For years, that dream came true. We’ve celebrated birthdays, comforted grieving families, and welcomed thousands of pets through our doors.

But today, that dream is at risk of ending.

The past year has brought devastating challenges:

Frequent power outages have destroyed ingredients and disrupted operations. Rising costs of goods have made it difficult to maintain quality and affordability. Ongoing distributor shortages have left us struggling to keep our shelves stocked. We’ve done everything we can to stay afloat — cutting costs, working long hours, and pouring our savings into the business. But we can’t do it alone anymore.

We’re humbly asking for your help to raise $75,000 to:

*Pay critical expenses like rent and utilities
*Rebuild inventory with safe, fresh, high-quality ingredients
*Recover losses from spoiled goods and closures
*Support our small, devoted staff who show up every day with love

This isn’t just a pet shop. It’s Zeus’s legacy. It’s a community space filled with laughter, stories, and furry friends. It’s where love is baked into every cookie, and every dog is treated like family.

If you’ve ever seen your pet light up in our shop, or believe in supporting small, local businesses built with heart — we hope you’ll consider donating.

Every single dollar helps. Every share matters. Every act of kindness gives us hope.

Thank you for being part of our story. Thank you for loving Zeus. And thank you for helping us fight to stay open.

With endless gratitude and love,
Karen and The Pampered Pet Boutique & Barkery Team
In Loving Memory of Zeus
