The bond between pets and their owners transcends age or class, as the much-anticipated Unleash Pet Gala held on 28 February at One Esplanade, MOA Complex showed. The gala was a resounding success, marking significant milestones for Unleash PH and its commitment to revolutionizing pet care.

The night kicked off with the playful and heartwarming fashion show competition where furbabies strutted down the runway alongside their fur parents.

A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Community Leader Award to the PAWSsion Project, an organization dedicated to animal welfare. The award recognizes PAWSsion Project’s tireless efforts to advocate for pet adoption and improve the lives of animals in need. Their commitment to the community was celebrated by all in attendance.

The gala also marked the official launch of Michele Gumabao as the Face of the Unleash PH App. With her passion for animals and advocacy for pet welfare, Michele will play a key role in bringing Unleash’s vision of accessible and innovative pet care to life.

The evening’s highlight was the introduction of Meets, Unleash’s innovative new dating feature designed specifically for pets. This groundbreaking addition to the app allows pet owners to help their furry friends find compatible playmates or potential “soulmates,” bringing a fun, social aspect to pet care.

Unleash PH proudly unveiled its Services Feature, aimed at providing a wide array of pet care solutions for all pet needs.
