ABOUT THE COVER

Meet the Ciollis and their pets!

In keeping with their philanthropic support of rescue animals, this pet-loving family recently made a generous donation to PACC911 (Phoenix Animal Care Coalition) by purchasing the cover of this issue at PACC911’s Glimmer of Hope fund-raising event.

The Ciollis adopts, not shops for their pets—taking animals from severe abuse and neglect situations to those who were turned into rescues for other reasons. “We believe all of our animals have rescued us rather than vice versa and they are part of our family— not disposable,” says Ivy. “Our philosophy for our philanthropic involvement in organizations such as PACC911 is to speak up for those without a voice or a choice.”

The Ciolli’s hope is to one day have their own animal sanctuary for abused, neglected, and unwanted animals to live out the rest of their lives filled with love and plenty of food.
