DETROIT – The Detroit Lions announced today the club's first pet community for Lions fans, The Pride Unleashed. Presented by Strategic Staffing Solutions, The Pride Unleashed will be for dogs and their owners in its inaugural season.
"We couldn't be more excited to launch The Pride Unleashed," said Detroit Lions Senior Vice President, Marketing and Brand Emily Griffin. "This community will bring together Lions fans who share a passion for their pups and their team. We know pets are part of the family and now they can be a part of the fan experience as well."
Members of The Pride Unleashed get access to exclusive merchandise, events, experiences and prizes, along with the opportunity to be featured on the ThePrideUnleashed.com, Lions social media accounts, and the Ford Field videoboards at Detroit Lions home games.
"As business partners with the Detroit Lions, we are pleased and excited to present The Pride Unleashed to our friends in the community," said Strategic Staffing Solutions CEO Cynthia Pasky. "It means the world to us that another community partner of ours, Michigan Humane, will benefit as will their adoptable dogs."

The Pride Unleashed free membership includes a customized membership certificate, The Pride Unleashed decal sticker, entry into member-only sweepstakes and an invitation to an exclusive members-only event each year.
