ANIMAL ADVOCACY & PIGLET'S RESCUE FUND

Piglet was rescued from a hoarding situation in Georgia when he was a newborn puppy. While Piglet was fortunate to have found a devoted loving family, there are many dogs like him still looking for their forever homes. Through our social media pages, Piglet has become an ambassador for disabled rescued animals.

Our advocacy efforts and Piglet's Rescue Fund were set up to:

  • Educate about and advocate for rescued animals through our social media pages, Piglet Mindset® educational program, as well as webinars on a number of veterinary topics
     
  • Encourage spay and neuter of dogs and cats in light of the pet overpopulation problem
     
  • Motivate individuals to adopt rescued pets, especially those who are disabled
     
  • Provide funding to rescue organizations that focus on disabled dogs and other animals
     
  • Support for The Disabled Pets Project, a comprehensive resource for veterinarians, pet parents, and rescuers who care for disabled pets. The website is disabledpets.org
     
  • The fund is supported by direct donations as well as a portion of all Piglet merchandise sales.

PIGLET AND GEORGIE'S KINDNESS CLUB

Piglet and Georgie's Kindness Club has been created to encourage children to bring Kindness Campaigns to their communities. Examples of Kindness activities include running a food drive and delivering the food to local food pantries, or raising awareness for animal rescues by collecting dog and cat food and other supplies for their local animal shelters and rescue organizations. Some children might be interested in organizing book drives where they raise funds and support so they can purchase and donate books to head start programs, community day cares, school libraries, and individual children.

There are so many ways to bring kindness into the community.

We hope Piglet and Georgie's Kindness Club will motivate everyone to remember to be kind!

Sometimes I let time stand still so I can spend so Sometimes I let time stand still so I can spend some beautiful moments with my tiny deaf blind pink dog, the one who takes "life changing dog" to a new level. 

Thank you to my pink puppy Piglet for bringing his positive mindset not only to kids and adults around the world, but to me personally, every single day. 🩷🩷🩷

Betty Health Screening Results Raise Concerns. D Betty Health Screening Results Raise Concerns. 

DNA testing for breed mixes is such a fun part of getting a new rescue puppy or dog. But while the health screening piece of DNA testing might not be fun, it is extremely important. 

In our case Baby Betty has one copy of the MDR1 gene variant. This means that we have to be very careful when giving her certain types of medications. 

Since this is more common in herding breeds, I'm not surprised with the results, but I am happy to confirm so that I know how to manage her healthcare in the future.

DNA testing has so many uses in vet medicine and pet care. I highly recommend having all dogs tested even if you know their breed mix. There are hundreds of health issues that testing uncovers that have diagnostic and predictive value for pets. 

Stay tuned for the next episode of Betty's DNA results.

Years ago a client of mine told me my little dog Z Years ago a client of mine told me my little dog Zoey was the ugliest dog she'd ever seen. I thought she was kidding but she wasn't. Needless to say, she was not my client for much longer. 

Zoey is really cute which prompts lots of people questioning what her breed is. 

She is a rescued dog and she is a mix. She was rescued from a Craig's lost ad along with 5 adorable littermates. 

We have DNA tested all of our dogs. 
Guess what Zoey's breed mix is in the comments and we'll post her chocolate chip cuteness results plus her health results later this week.

Take a look. Are you surprised? 

Now the question is:
How much will our Betty B White weigh when she's full grown? For reference, her projected weight is 42-68 pounds and she is 25 pounds at 5 months old. 

Let us know your guess!

The challenges of bringing a large high energy pup The challenges of bringing a large high energy puppy into a house full of small and elderly dogs can be overwhelming. It's not that I didn't expect the need for some management. I guess I was in denial about the# extent. 

Regardless, we are slowly integrating our big foot polar bear into our dog pack. Each day she learns and lets us know there is hope! 

Deanie is the absolute sweetest dog we will ever have. I can't even show the original unexpected video or two of B being too rough with him. But I'm happy to be able to show and report that our baby dog is realizing her gentle side.❤️

With five dogs over eight years of age, keeping th With five dogs over eight years of age, keeping them happy and healthy isn’t just a priority—it’s an obsession. #ad

As a veterinarian and dog mom, I’ve chosen the NAD+ supplement Leap Years because I want to do everything possible to enrich their lives as they age. I’ve seen remarkable improvements in my older dogs’ cognition, enthusiasm for daily activities, and interactions with family members, so we decided to start our middle-aged dogs on Leap Years too. 

Little Zoey and Piglet are doing well now, so we don’t expect dramatic changes in their behavior. Still, being proactive in their middle age is just as important as addressing illness when it occurs.

Supporting cellular health with an NAD+ supplement helps preserve cellular function and sustain health across all body systems. Along with providing good nutrition, moderate activity, and quality veterinary care, it keeps my dogs feeling their best.

Leap Years is different. It’s backed by a clinical trial in dogs and formulated with optimal potency, supported by a safety study in dogs. I recommend Leap Years for my veterinary patients and hope you’ll try it for your middle-aged and older dogs too.

It's slow and it's a ton of work, but we are makin It's slow and it's a ton of work, but we are making progress. 

I get lots of messages saying, "I would never get anything done if I had your dogs". Well, guess what!

I don't get anything done either, sort of. 
There are compromises to be made. I don't go out to movies or out to restaurants, our vacations revolve around our dogs, and I spend hours a day just taking everyone for their deserved walks. 

I do get work done but thankfully my work is not conventional. I would not be able to go to a 9-5 job and have all these dogs. 

The compromise that some would feel is unacceptable, is worth it to me. 

My dogs have taken me to the absolute best places I never would have known without them. I'm thankful for my lapses in judgment in getting to an 8 dog household.
