‘Everything has a story behind it’: Annapolis pet store seeks to deliver products from U.S.-made, women-owned businesses

It’s been Karen Komisar’s dream for three decades to run her own business. For years, the Ellicott City resident worked with Animal Advocates of Howard County, helping the organization raise funds for pet adoptions. Meanwhile, she rescued her own dogs and cats. In September, Komisar left her job of 25 years in health care sales with plans to open Sea Dog Pet Boutique. The business opened its doors Monday at 172 Main St., in Annapolis.
