Pet ‘n Nanny, a local pet sitting company serving Wake Forest, Rolesville and Wakefield communities, is partnering with the Coalition to Unchain Dogs, a non-profit organization that helps improve the welfare of dogs and their living conditions, specifically in under-served areas of the Triangle.

The Coalition not only helps dogs that are continuously chained outdoors by building fences, but also provides free services including wellness care, spay/neuter clinics, leashes and collars, flea and tick medication, and vaccinations. The Coalition uses a non-judgmental approach to share information and much needed resources with pet owners.

“As a relatively young non-profit, receiving support from local businesses is important to our success,” says Lori Hensley, executive director of the Coalition to Unchain Dogs. “Partnering with Pet ‘n Nanny will help us create greater awareness of pet wellness in Northern Wake County communities.”

Pet ‘n Nanny co-owners Shannon Arner and husband Gerry say partnering with the Coalition allows them to support a non-profit that, like their own company, focuses on creating responsible pet parents and strives for dogs to be properly cared for in their own homes.

“The Coalition to Unchain Dogs offers pet owners alternatives to tethering their dogs in the yard. Pet ‘n Nanny offers pet parents alternatives to boarding in kennels by keeping pets happy and stress-free at home with pet sitters while they’re away,” says Shannon Arner. “We have similar values and goals which make for the perfect partnership.”
