Thomas, a refined & distinguished gentleman.

As soon as we saw photos of Thomas we knew this well-trained, young-at-heart, kind spirit was the perfect guy for our second Project Pal. What a precious, rare gem he is.

Before we start, let’s all agree not to discriminate based on age here. Actually, I think that is illegal….or at the very least, highly frowned upon in our society. Since it is important that all “experienced” individuals are given a fair shot, we feel it is only appropriate to extend the same courtesy to our perfect pal, Thomas.

Thomas would be the ideal fit for a busy family, a busy individual, or a busy couple. Why? Because he is already house-broken. That trait is a true gift from above. Potty training your dog is the single, most important task unless you like spot-cleaning/bleaching your floors multiple times per day and Thomas comes with it checked off his list. Not only that, but he is good with other dogs and he is VERY friendly. Furthermore, he has plenty of energy, which I know many of our more experienced followers can relate to you’re only as old as you feel. Thomas is always ready to go for a walk! Here’s the exciting thing, Thomas hasn’t even hit his peak yet. 😉

This week is all about Thomas, and if we join together and spread the word about him, we will be able to find him his forever home! Project Pal has covered Thomas’ adoption fee + a little extra, so all you have to do is love him forever. He has been at the shelter since November 23rd, so it is time for him to have a home of his own! If interested in Thomas, send us an email and we will put you in touch with our contact at his shelter– projectpalaz@gmail.com. You can visit him at the Maricopa County Animal Care & Control West Animal Shelter. Thomas- A3690819

The sweetest thing.

Yesterday, our dream became a reality. Ariel went home. When the four of us started Project Pal (last week), we knew what our ultimate goal each week would be, but we had no idea how incredible it would feel to see the dog we selected find its forever home. It’s pretty darn wonderful. So, with that being said, a huge thank you to Maricopa Animal County Care & Control for taking Ariel in and keeping her safe until she found her new home, and to Ariel’s new owner who loves her so much. We hope you enjoy these adorable pictures below of Ariel below.  By the way, her name is now Darla, which is just the sweetest thing. Her owner started an instagram for her and you can follow her journey at @darlaforlife2016.

Ariel. Our first Project Pal.

Meet Ariel.  This adorable, 2 year old boxer mix is looking for a home…and we are determined to find her the best one ever. Who knew we could become so invested in a pup after merely four days of promoting her to our community? You guys, we her.

When people think about the type of dog they hope to have in their family, I think we can all agree they pray for the following characteristics: gentle and friendly.  Ariel is both of those things. In fact, we were told the photographer had a hard time capturing the perfect photo of her since she kept trying to be near them, and climb into their laps…(LOVE). Speaking from experience, this quality alone is honestly a dream. For me, especially, since my dog only cuddles on his specific, limited terms. It might be because I follow him around the house and smother him with love…whatever.

Here’s the main pitch for Ariel. 80% of our friends are currently binge watching this Netflix documentary, “Making a Murderer”. We can’t help but think how much more enjoyable (and justifiable) a day spent watching Netflix would be with Ariel at your feet (or next to you on the couch….). I kid you not, when I opt to forego a night out to be at home, I feel like I’m actually being productive and responsible because my rescue dog is there too. Built in friend who loves you and thinks you are the absolute best thing ever, even when you look like death. What more can you ask for, really? This is one of her special traits, she will hang out with you quietly at home. Give Ariel a loving home and she will adore you for the rest of her life. Guaranteed.

Lastly, look at the below picture.  Whoever adopts Ariel is literally going to have the best instagram/snapchats of all time. Endless content. Think about it.

Now that you know how great this girl is, head to the Maricopa County Animal Care & Control West Valley Animal Care Center and meet Ariel for yourself (and then take her home and spoil her forever, obviously).  The address is 2500 S. 27th Ave., Phx Az. Ariel’s adoption fee has been sponsored and includes spay, rabies certificate and County license. Ariel- A3687245

If she looks this cute in the shelter, imagine what she will look like on her freedom ride to her new, loving home! We can’t wait to see those pictures.

If you have any questions about Ariel, please feel free to email us at projectpalaz@gmail.com.

Thank you for supporting our first Project Pal!

Project PAL – Promote. Adopt. Love.

Welcome to our Project Pal AZ blog. Each week we will post additional details on our chosen pup here. First, we thought we should introduce ourselves and explain why we wanted to start Project Pal:

Adopting Reggie (pictured below) was the best decision I have ever made. Life-changing, really.  Through Project Pal we are putting our own money where our mouths are and not only holding each other accountable for making weekly donations to different Animal Shelters around Phoenix, but we are going to work tirelessly to help find homes for these sweet souls.  This project holds a special place in all four of our hearts, and we know our wonderful and supportive community will enjoy being a part of the home-finding process as well! xo, Kim

 

I signed on to be a part of Project PAL because I believe every dog should find a forever home regardless of their breed, age, or personality. There are so many dogs in shelters waiting to be adopted and I hope that Project PAL helps bring these dogs into a loving home. Hopefully you will find a dog through Project PAL that makes you as happy as Oscar (below) makes me :)! xo, Nina

“In a perfect world, every dog would have a home and every home would have a dog.”  Through Project Pal we hope to do exactly that!  Help us in our journey to save these sweet souls.  You will not only change their lives but they will forever change yours. Pictured below is my pup, Reagan.  Life would definitely not be the same without this big guy.  Lots of doggie kisses! XO, Tristan

I have always said I wish I could give every homeless dog a “furever” home. Hopefully through Project PAL we can make that wish come true by finding loving humans for each Pal of the week. I want every person to be able to experience the incredible and special connection that these lovely dogs bring to our hearts just like Oscar brings to mine! Xo, Nikki
