Early 2018, I discovered Leader Dogs for the Blind after hearing Jim Platzer speak from the stage at the Pet Industry Leadership Conference. His story of losing his sight and feeling scared and overwhelmed to being partnered with his leader dog, Maddy, and gaining confidence and strength - moved me to my core. Leader Dogs for the Blind give independence and a renewed sense of life back to those who are blind, visually impaired or deaf. I've chosen this charity as our Official Pet Boss Nation Cause, because Leader Dogs for the Blind has a passion and mission that naturally aligns with ours. We too, provide support, strength, inspiration and strategies to help people live a fulfilling and rewarding life by essentially being a “leader dog” for small business owners.
Pet Boss Nation is a coaching and consulting community, where we help pet professionals move from their passion for pets to becoming profitable “Pet Bosses”! We do this through a variety of solutions, like our group mentoring program - The Pet Boss Club, through inventory planning and cash flow roadmaps, and unique business leadership experiences like Camp Pet Boss (a three day business conference meets vacation with your dog).
We have an expression in our community “Stronger Together" and that’s because I believe to my core that pet industry professionals are better with us than without. And we also know that a person who is blind or visually impaired has freedom with a Leader Dog...they are stronger together, too. Our motto will carry us through to raising the $25,000 needed for the future Leader Dog we are sponsoring. It’s a huge goal for us financially. We’ll be crowdfunding, matching and donating a % of our revenue to make it happen by the end of 2019.
If you believe we’re all stronger together too,please consider making a donation today. Share this page with a friend, family member or co-worker who you think would also like to make a difference. As I learned from Jim Platzer, his ability to have a Leader Dog was a “game changer” in his life.
Let’s be game changers together!
