First Person: Tom Evans

First Experience: Fur Baby Boutique
Helping shelter animals and supporting animal shelters was Shery Shupe’s passion. She wanted to turn that passion into a business while still being able to give back to the shelters and the animals looking for loving homes. Sherry began Fur Baby Boutique in Milford. Along with pet supplies and grooming services, they partner with local shelters to get pets ready for adoption. We stopped by her Milford store for a tour. It’s this weeks’ Fur Experience.
