business, sales or management

independent spirit? Share your
dedication to pets and their wel-
fare, services offered, promotion
and marketing efforts, commu-
nity involvement, employment
training and retention, con-
sumer education efforts, genius
merchandising techniques, busi-
ness management strategies and
