Annie Quinn-Diment
Meet Lucky. Lucky was a scruffy little terrier mix picked up as a stray—underweight, anxious, and out of options in today’s overcrowded shelter system. Thanks to support from Friends of Pinal Pets, he received consistent meals, a quiet place to rest, and the opportunity to be adopted. At the shelter, a retired couple spotted him and fell for his quirky grin and hopeful eyes. Today, Lucky enjoys sunny naps, afternoon strolls, and the kind of love every rescued pet dreams of. Every single contribution helps rescues and shelters provide care, as space is tight and resources are stretched.
You can help make stories like Lucky’s possible.
Join us on Wednesday, Nov. 5, from 4 to 8 p.m. at Cadillac Chaparral Steakhouse for Paws for a Cause, a lively evening of delicious food, live music, a silent auction, and big-hearted giving. Hosted by the SaddleBrooke Dog Park, this annual fundraiser supports Friends of Pinal Pets and many animals like Lucky.
