Lets talk about D.E.I.

 

Have you ever wondered about the values behind your favorite pet store? At our store, diversity, equity, and inclusion (D.E.I) are not just buzzwords – they are the foundation of everything we do. Founded by a couple who are both people of color and part of the LGBTQ+ community, we stand by our commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive space for all pet lovers.

What does D.E.I mean to us?

For us, D.E.I goes beyond just a statement on paper. It is a lived experience that shapes every aspect of our business. From the products we carry to the way we interact with our customers, diversity and inclusion are at the forefront of our minds. We believe that every pet and pet owner deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued. Recently companies have caved to hate by placing value in profits over the fear and worry of real communities. As a couple, and members of multiple communities being targeted by hate groups, we will never turn our backs on you.

Why do we stand firm against hate?

Recently, there has been a push from alt-right groups who seek to spread hate and division. But we want to make it clear – we will not back down. Our commitment to D.E.I is unwavering, and we will continue to stand up against any form of discrimination or prejudice. Love is love, and all pets and pet owners are welcome here.

How can you support us?

By shopping at our store, you are not just buying pet supplies – you are supporting a business that stands for something greater. Spread the word about our commitment to D.E.I and help us create a community where everyone feels welcome and accepted. Together, we can make a difference and show that love will always triumph over hate.

So the next time you visit our store, know that you are not just a customer – you are a part of a movement towards a more inclusive and compassionate world. Thank you for standing with us as we continue to uphold the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in everything we do.
