ABOUT US
The always loving McEnroe
Michael and Melissa Novelli are originally from Franklin Park, Illinois & Chicago, Illinois. They both relocated to Las Vegas. Michael in 1998 and Melissa in 1999. They were friends that lost touch and reconnected in Las Vegas years later. A year after reconnecting they got married in 2007. In 2012, they walked into the local shelter wanting to make a difference in the world. They started filming videos to showcase the nature of the dogs with the hopes to shine a light on their personalities. That's how 'Tuesday Videos' started. They went every Tuesday and built an audience that quickly supported their motto of "every share is an opportunity" and "adopt don't shop". They also started to walk the dogs as well as building connections with many. The Enrichment Training Scholarship Program came to life in 2016 allowing the animal lovers around the globe to sponsor a homeless dog to attend enrichment training. After each session, the sponsors are sent an update and pictures, allowing the sponsor to engage and share the dogs journey to his/her happily ever after. Join Melissa, Michael and the Pawtastic Friends team as we encourage more happiness for dogs!
At Pawtastic Friends we will always have the best interest of the homeless animals.
We are currently working with 20 wonderful non profit rescues here in Nevada with more to be added. A lot of their dogs are in boarding and only get out when volunteers come and get them out. This is why we need your help.
Helping get dogs out of their kennels and taking them for a walk and spending time with them is very rewarding to them and you.
If you would like to know more on how you can help the homeless animals with the Pawtastic Friends Boarding Buddies program please email us at Maria@pawtasticfriends.com.
Thank you for making a difference in the world.
We truly appreciate all of our volunteers and team members because you are very valuable to the dogs and are making a big difference in these dogs lives.
