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!

Introducing the most adorable, sweet, sleeping ver Introducing the most adorable, sweet, sleeping version of deaf puppy Betty B White. This was the first time she voluntarily went to sleep on a kitchen dog bed.

It didn't last long but it's a start.
Goodnight. 🩷🐾🩷🐾🩷🐾🩷

Not to be outdone by the adorable new resident pup Not to be outdone by the adorable new resident puppy, Piglet turned on his cuteness mode to high power this tonight. Have a good night.🩷

We weren't going to but we did. My husband Warren We weren't going to but we did. My husband Warren insisted. 

Taking a leap of faith into the unknown of dog adoption can be a bit scary. We do not need to have 8 dogs. But even with 7 dogs, the empty space left by the loss of our beautiful double merle white Aussie Border Collie mix has been unbearable. 

This double merle deaf Aussie puppy was in great need of a home. She was in MI. A breeder sold her but she was returned bc she is deaf. Thankfully @pawsaversrescue stepped up with an amazing foster in MI. The "breeder's" other option for her is unspeakable. She's supposedly 12 weeks old and 18 pounds. Her feet are huge. 

Meet Betty B White. AKA- Terry for Terror. 
This precious sweet smart and yes, Beautiful, girl is adorable. Everything she does, except her need for some solid puppy work, is awesome. She immediately was running up and down the ramp and she loves everyone she meets. 

The little dogs aren't delighted. This is expected when bringing in a larger sized dog. But she is already learning to respect their space and small stature. 

As you can see, we LOVE our new baby girl. Bonus- she is very much like our Beautiful Gina who we still deeply miss. 

Stay tuned for lots more Betty B White cuteness.

Zoey might have been petrified at her Ophtho appt Zoey might have been petrified at her Ophtho appt but she knows we will always take care of her. She is one of the best dogs I have ever had. I love her to pieces. The thought is her going blind is heartbreaking. Even though surgery is an option, the success rate is not 100%. 

I'm not afraid of my dogs being blind but becoming blind is not the same as being born blind. There are major adjustments the dog has to make. Some do better than others. Most are fine. 

Right now that doesn't make me feel better. But I am thankful that ZoZo seems to be ok other than her cataracts. We are running bloodwork today as well. Results come tomorrow.

I can barely hold back the happy tears at the sigh I can barely hold back the happy tears at the sight of this beautiful sweet group of rescued dogs, all feeling so comfortable and happy in their family. Of course we miss the two that we've lost but their legacy remains in the love these dogs have for each other.

I'm a veterinarian. I have seen what hot pavement I'm a veterinarian. I have seen what hot pavement does to dog's foot pads. 

Please do not even think of walking your dogs on pavement on a hot sunny day. If you have a question, take your own hand and place it on the pavement for even a few seconds. You'll get a great idea of the pain and damage your dog will suffer if they take a walk on that hot pavement. 

Today, in my own neighborhood, I witnessed two of our neighbor dogs being walked in 98 degree sunny heat. I personally couldn't even breathe standing out there let alone taking a walk. So I'm not sure how these dangerous walks were actually committed. Paw pads are at risk but there is also the risk of hyperthermia. 

Seriously, your dog can go without his afternoon walk if it means that you are keeping him safe. Find a different activity like going for a ride in an air conditioned car. Go to a pet store and buy dog treats or take an indoor agility class. But don't have your dog walk across a hot parking lot to get into the store.
