#FindMeAHomeFriday: Gina – Magic City Pizza

Chicken Parmesan from Magic City Pizza in Westchester

Gina is 9 years old and a total love bug. Her owner passed away, and the family left her at Animal Control. She’s a mellow, snuggly, cuddly girl who gives LOTS of kisses and is house-trained!

The vet says it’s obvious she was well cared for, but she does have severe arthritis in her hips and knees which slows her down a bit. She’s on anti- inflammatories and a pain medication to help her feel better. She is up and walking around a bit now, but does need to be watched around stairs.

Her perfect family is one where they are around often, not away from the house for more than 2-3 hours, no young children, and are able to keep up with her therapy as they work through this arthritis together.

For more information on this sweet girl, visit her adoption page.

#FindMeAHomeFriday: Paxil – Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill

Chicken Thighs from Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill in Midtown

This is Paxil. He’s 10 years old, and he’s Pugley’s son. He’s great with kids, cats, and dogs.

He loves going outside and exploring the backyard so having a fenced yard is a plus. He loves walking outside, too, and gets really excited when the leash comes out! His tail is always wagging so you know he’s always in a great mood. His vision isn’t the greatest, and he does require medicated eye drops. However, he’s a great listener and always comes when called.

For more information on this love bug of a pug, visit his adoption page.

The guys behind Proof Pizza & Pasta: (L to R) Justin Flit, Matt Depa, and Malcolm Prude

By now, odds are that you’ve heard of Proof Pizza & Pasta. The Midtown Miami restaurant has quietly made its name for itself since opening its doors almost one year ago. The Neopolitan pizzeria was most recently named Best Restaurant in Midtown/Design District by Miami New Times, adding to its long list of local accolades.

After experiencing the food and service for ourselves, we saw what the fuss was about. We just had to talk to Chefs Justin Flit and Matt Depa about the restaurant and find out their story. So we did.
