Wheels & Wags

It was a fantastic morning for Wheels & Wags, a fun, family-friendly community event bringing together pets, people, and cars for an unforgettable day in Tempe — all for a great cause!

As always, I love checking out amazing vehicles, snapping off miles of great pics, and connecting with the local car community. While today’s selection of cars was small (compared to typical shows), the cars on display were exceptional.

I enjoyed meeting adoptable dogs and helping share their story in support of local rescues. In my recent experience trying to make a home for a beautiful female pitty, it’s been sad to discover just how many dogs are unable to discover their forever home. Sadly, most rescue facilities are full, and countless unhomed dogs’ lives are cut short as a result.

Today’s venue included:

• Dog Rescue Adoptions – It was great meeting amazing rescue pups looking for their forever homes
• Car Showcase – There was a great variety of classic, custom, and cool vehicles (see photos below)
• Local Vendors – Meet and support small businesses with pet products, treats, and more
• Raffles & Giveaways – Win fun prizes throughout the event
• Food, coffee & great vibes
