Guys!!! I have been waiting to announce this!!!
WE WON A TRIPLE CROWN!
WE WON ALL THREE CHARLOTTE'S BEST AWARDS FOR 2026!!! 🎉
🏆 Carolina Pet Pantry — BEST PET STORE!
🏆 Bullies 2 the Rescue — BEST NON-PROFIT!
🏆 The Swagger Salon — BEST GROOMING SALON!
THANK YOU. FROM THE VERY BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
To every single person who voted, shopped at Carolina Pet Pantry, trusted The Swagger Salon with their babies, adopted, fostered, donated, volunteered, shared our posts, or simply believed in what we're doing… YOU DID THIS.
To my incredible employees who put up with my 900 ideas before breakfast, my rescue volunteers who answer the call when another bulldog needs saving, and our customers who have become family… I cannot thank you enough.
You have supported my dreams, even on the days when I wondered if I could keep them alive.
These awards aren't just trophies to hang on a wall. They're a reminder that small businesses with big hearts can still do BIG things.
And the fact that we won BEST NON-PROFIT alongside BEST PET STORE and BEST GROOMING SALON makes this even sweeter. Because at the end of the day, everything I've built has always come back to my love for animals.
Charlotte, you have absolutely blown me away.
