When we lost our home, our lives changed overnight. With nowhere pet-friendly to stay, I spent over 15 rigorous days sleeping in my car during the intense Arizona summer heatwave season with our beloved Pomsky- Dior, because I couldn't bear to leave him behind. Every day, I worried about his safety as temperatures continued to rise. Despite doing everything I could to keep him safe and cool, I became increasingly concerned that the extreme heat was putting his health and well-being at risk.

Knowing that Dior needed a safer environment, I made the heartbreaking decision to seek assistance through the Arizona Humane Society, and Dior was accepted into their shelter program. As part of the program's requirements, Dior was neutered before admission.

That was an emotional decision for me because Dior was a healthy young dog, and neutering meant that he would no longer be able to have puppies in the future. As difficult as that was for our family, my priority at that moment was making sure Dior was safe and no longer exposed to the dangers of living in a vehicle during extreme Arizona heat.

Today, Dior remains in the program while we work tirelessly to rebuild our lives and secure stable, pet-friendly housing. We have not been able to spend the time with him that we were accustomed to, and being separated from him has been incredibly difficult. Dior has been part of our family since he was just 8 weeks old, and we miss him every day. We miss him every single day, and it breaks our hearts knowing he is away from us and unsure where we are or if he’ll ever see us again.

Our goal is $8,000, which will help us:

1. Secure a pet-friendly home (security deposit and first month's rent)
2. Cover pet-related housing and reunification expenses
3. Replace essential household items lost during our housing crisis
4. Pay for food, transportation, and daily necessities to maintain pet and family
5. Purchase Dior's supplies and cover any follow-up veterinary care once he's home

Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to reuniting with our beloved Dior. If you're unable to donate, simply sharing Dior's story could help us reach someone who can help and is another meaningful way to help give your support. 

Thank you for believing in our family and helping us bring Dior home. God Bless everyone!
