Creating A Dream

Bringing a dream to reality takes a great deal of work, and a great deal of passion for that project. Joe Diaz has plenty of both for for his Pawz N Palz – Canine Community start-up. Even under normal circumstances starting with nothing more than dream would make anyone think twice about creating a new business. But for Joe, his Pawz N Palz – Canine Community start-up it’s a good start. He envisions a daycare with experienced handlers and a private program that will have handler and dog working one one if they’re not able to be around other dogs, a grooming program and finally working with other rescue groups to ensure everyone finds a home.. Step one - let people know what you’re trying to create and then how they can help.

Joe’s very realistic with his dream. He know it’s going to take time and money, and he’s actively searching for investors. You can check out what that might entail at the Pawz N Palz Venmo - @pawznpalz Jose Diaz. Make sure you look for the logo to be sure you’ve got the right account. I’ve seen time and time again what a big heart we have here in Tampa Bay for our pets in search of homes so this is your chance if you’d like to get in at the start, You can also visit Joe this weekend in St Pete at the Come Out St Pete Festival on Central Ave, right by the Garage Bar from 3 pm - 6 pm. Look for the Pawz N Palz sign!

There are also other fund raisers planned and to make sure you don’t miss a one like the Pawz N Palz Facebook page. Joe is also an artist and will donate the proceeds from his work to the start-up. Here’s a look at some beautiful pieces that could find a happy place in your home.

If you’d like to lend a hand, become a fan or investor, please reach out to Joe for more information. Joe, I wish you the best of luck because when it comes to our furbabies, they deserved the best!
