Why Not Travel Store - Pet of the Month for August 2022

Meet Zora!!

Here is Zora's story direct from her mom: I love sharing Zora’s story! December of 2020 a friend texted that a dog had been abandoned out in the Tucson Mountains and had been hiding in a shed out back. We weren’t looking for another dog but that night I had a dream in which I was hiking with a dog through snow in mountains, then across a frozen lake, then walking together on the water, then flying together. It was an incredibly blissful dream, and when I told my husband he said we had to go meet the dog that had been abandoned. We agreed to only bring it home if it was the dog in the dream……and we drove home with Zora. 8 Weeks later, after thinking she was getting fat from training treats, we realized she was pregnant, and she ended up giving birth to 9 puppies. All are in good homes with family and friends, and two made it clear, they were meant to stay with us. Zora is now 2, her puppies are 1 and they have brought life back to our 17 year old “abuelito” Border Collie. Zora LOVES paddle boarding, doing zoomies on the beach and trips. And when on the way to the beach, Zora and her pack (mom, dad, and the rest) stop in at the Why Not Travel Store for gas and treats and to stretch the old legs!!

WARNING FROM Zora: Never let your pet sit in a hot car, especially in Arizona!! This also applies to my nemesis, the cat!!

Thank you Zora for coming down to Why. At The Why Not Travel Store, we like fur babies like you stopping because it gives our crew a chance to pet you. We tried petting our customers but they weren’t very receptive to it. You have earned the honorary title of 'The Why Not Travel Store’s Pet of the Month'.  Zora's humans will receive a $50 gift certificate to The Why Not Travel Store.
