Why Not Travel Store - Pet of the Month for June 2026

Meet Aayla, a 2.5 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel whose spirit is as boundless as the desert skies. This teenie, Scottsdale-born cutie has embarked on an adventurous journey, exploring iconic spots such as Why, the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, and Ajo, AZ. She thought, Why Not!! With three states under her collar and counting, Aayla’s infectious energy brings smiles to everyone she meets, spreading joy and love wherever her paws take her. A true explorer at heart, she delights in meeting new people and enjoying the rich tapestry of other cultures, making every adventure an opportunity to connect and celebrate life.

The Why Not Travel Store is glad Aayla is joining our Pet of the Month pack of winning pet pictures. Congratulations on being The Why Not Travel Store's June 2026 Pet of the Month and thanks for visiting us Aayla!!
