DOVER-FOXCROFT — Have you heard the big news yet? There is a new clean and inviting pet store in Dover-Foxcroft. Head to Tails Family Pet Store (64 East Main Street Suite H) will offer all sorts of supplies for your family’s furry or scaly pets.
The store also has all sorts of furry and scaly friends you can buy including birds, fish, reptiles and small animals and all supplies for these animals plus dog and cat supplies. The Head to Tails Family Pet Store offers bulk seed bins, selling by the pound, for your birds and little critters.
Owner Elizabeth Martin and her family moved up to Dover-Foxcroft in 2015. Martin’s dream as a kid was to own her own pet store. Growing up, she was always around all sorts of animals. When she reached the end of elementary school her family owned a small pet store, this is where she knew owning her own pet store someday was a must. During her high school and college years Martin continued to work for local pet stores for several years, continuing her knowledge and love for pet store animals.
Upon moving to Dover-Foxcroft three years ago Martin instantly knew this small hometown would be the perfect place to settle and open her dream pet store. With the help of her husband, family and friends Martin was able to open Head to Tails Family Pet Store. Her goals as a pet store owner are to run a fun, knowledgeable and affordable store that the whole family can enjoy. So be sure to stop in and check the new place out, always getting in new supplies and different animals.
Pete Risano, president of Pet Life with 15 stores in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, said, “The emotional bond we form with pets is the magic that drives this industry and the source of its strengths. Pets provide companionship, acceptance, protection and affection for people, and that doesn’t appear to be changing any time soon.”
Head to Tails Family Pet Store is open Tuesday to Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. For more information please call 564-7773. Be sure to find the store on Facebook under “Head to Tails Family Pet Store.” Martin says the Facebook page is always kept up to date, and she asks everyone to spread the word the store is up and running and is ready to help with your pet needs.
