This is Louis! If you guys remember Moose, the cavapoo who frequents Joey Legacy often, Louis comes from the same breeder! Their parents are friends so they get lots of play dates. He’s not a senior or a special needs pup, but he was a treat. Louis came to stay this summer while his family went to a beautiful wedding in Italy! He was an absolutely lovely houseguest and soft as a teddy bear 🧸 welcome, Louis!!!

Meet Pepper!! Pepper here is a very sweet 13 year old shih-tzu with diabetes. He requires 2 insulin shots a day, so he needs a little extra care 🤍 Pepper and Peanut became fast friends, they even look like they could be brothers! Safe to say one of the cutest things about Pepper is the way is tongue is always sticking out 🥺 Welcome to the Joey’s Legacy family, Pepper! 💖

Hey Arnold! Meet Mr Arnold! He is a 3-legged saluki (mix?) who I watched for while his foster parents were away! I’m so behind on my posting, but since I watched Arnold, I am happy to say he has been adopted!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I loved him so much, if I didn’t already have 3 in my crew I totally would have adopted him. He and my saluki, Lennon, absolutely loved each other and had a blast! Fostering is sooo important and without our fosters, I don’t know where we would be. If you have any extra time or interest in helping save dogs like Arnold, please sign up to be a foster with TEAM! 🥰 you can find more info by copying and pasting this link into your browser: teamdogrescue.ca/you-can-help/foster/

Meet Tammy!!! Tammy is a 15 year old Cairn Terrier. I met Tammy’s owner when I was doing rehab on her other terrier, Holly. Holly was one of my favourite patients. Sadly, she passed away about 1.5 years ago. I kept in touch with her owner and she brought Tammy for boarding while she took her cairn puppy to puppy camp!! but don’t worry, Tammy got a camp of her own! Just a little more slow paced 😉welcome to the Joey’s Legacy family, Tammy! 🥰💖

Soooo It’s obviously been a while since I posted 👀 it’s been slightly chaotic as, not only have there been so many new additions to the Joey’s Legacy fam, I also had a wedding to plan! 🎉Now that our beautiful day has come and gone, I plan to be more active on insta so that everyone can see the cute babies I get to spend my days with! Stay posted for some intros!!! 🫶🫶💖✨

Yesterday I was given the devastating news that Mojo passed away 💔 Mojo and his mom were my first official client and boarder 🤍 over the months since October, he’s been a frequent flyer-coming for stays so his mom could have some time to travel and relax. Mojo was an old man in so many ways, but his personality and face screamed “baby dog” 💖 Mojo’s amazing mom told me had a great last day filled with walks and snacks before he left this planet peacefully. Rest easy, Mojo. We miss you already 🤍

Bronte is a special, special soul. Her moms had to say the hardest goodbye to her recently and her presence is really going to be missed at Joey’s Legacy. The sweetest senior Dane 🤍 this is by far the hardest part of the job. I get to know each and every one of the pups that stays with me and they all take a piece of my heart with them. Rest easy, sweet Bronte. You are so loved and missed🤍

Meet Ricky 🥰 Ricky us a very special boy. He is part of “Forever Team” with TEAM Dog Rescue which is a program in which palliative dogs can be fostered in a loving home until their soul and body are ready to depart from this lifetime. Ricky has advanced heart disease and is also prone to bladder stones. You would NEVER know this guy is palliative by spending time with him. He is so spunky and lively, it’s hard to believe. He has the best foster parents and I am just watching them while they have a much deserved vacation 🤍 he fits right in with the crew here at Joey’s. Welcome to the fam, Ricky!💖 if you are interested in fostering for Forever Team or even just the regular Team program please visit the link https://teamdogrescue.ca/you-can-help/foster/ for more details!

Your favourite Great Danes are back!!! We missed you, Ruby and Bronte 💖 Bronte looks a little different because she got her nose growth removed and I think she looks fabulous! (Although she still looked fab before ☺️)

If you can believe it, Joey would have been 19 years old if he was still here with us today🤍 so much has happened since we lost him, it’s hard to believe. I’m so grateful for every single thing he taught me and every single moment we had together. Happy birthday, Joey🤍🫶 I hope I’m making you proud!!

Check out this dynamic duo!!! Milo and Olive are not seniors or special needs, but wouldn’t you make an exception for these faces? 😉 these cuties came to see me this morning for a bath, brush and blow dry 🛁🫧now they’re squeaky clean!

Mojo is a regular here at Joey’s Legacy and, judging by the smile on his face, I would say he’s a pretty happy guy!!! Always a pleasure to have this senior boy here 💖💖

This is Harper’s welcome post. Miss Harper here is a 9 year old miniature schnauzer, and I have to say…she is in the running for being the cutest, sweetest angel dog ever. Harper has diabetes, cushings disease, and is blind so she requires some extra special care. She really enjoys going for walks and being in the yard-almost as much as she loves a snuggle on the couch. There will be a few posts about Harper’s stay as her meal prep is special and she is getting a Glucose curve, a bath, and insulin injections during her stay. Please welcome sweet Harper to the Joey’s Legacy family! 💖💖

Meet Ruby! Ruby is Bronte’s “sister” and she is also a Great Dane! She is 9 years old. Ruby has a bit more spring in her step and loves going for walks and playing in the yard! But don’t get it twisted, she also loves a good snuggle in her warm blanket and a treat before bedtime. These two were such nice house guests-just gentle giants! I will happily welcome them back a few more times through the rest of the year so keep your eye out for more Ruby and Bronte pics!! Please welcome Ruby to the Joey’s Legacy family!💖

I’ve been a bit behind on my posting lately! I recently had two beautiful Great Danes stay with me while their parents were on vacation! But they each deserve their own intro post so stay tuned! Meet Bronte first! Bronte is a 10 year old Great Dane and she is just a sweet old lady. Bronte has a few things going on with her health. She has weakness in her back legs so she can’t quite go on walks like she used to, but she loves snuggling her warm blanket and sniffing around the backyard 🥰 Bronte also enjoyed a nice bath while she stayed with me! 🛁 Please welcome Bronte to the Joey’s Legacy Family!

Meet Rory! Rory is an 8 (yes, 8!!!) year old Bernese Mountain Dog. This handsome gentleman is an absolute angel. I still can’t believe he is 8 years old! He is in amazing shape and still has that puppy face 🥰 he is the nicest boy on our walks and is getting along great with Zorra and Lennon! Welcome to the Joey’s Legacy family, Rory! 🐾

Say hello to Piper! This beautiful girl is not a senior, but she does have some special needs that make regular boarding facilities a bit more of a challenge. Piper was hit by a car and sustained injuries as a result, but she is here and she is thriving!! Piper sustained a brachial plexus injury, which are the nerves in the front leg. This injury has caused some neurological and musculoskeletal deficits for Piper. She cannot fully bear weight on the limb and also does not have full range of motion, but her mom has told me she’s come a long way since her injury! Piper has a special, custom fit brace that she wears on walks, when she’s playing, or other times that’s her leg might be vulnerable. She is able to place weight on the leg to use for balance, and the brace really helps her do that! This sweet girl is so resilient and happy, you almost can’t believe she’s got this challenge. She is full of personality and energy! Please welcome Piper to the Joey’s Legacy family! 🤍🐾

Happy Valentine’s Day from the one and only Jada!! This girl is a frequent flyer for baths. She’s got some mobility concerns, as well as anxiety, so we go as slow as she needs. She’s had enough baths now that she is a pro. And she brought me a little Valentine’s Day gift today 🥺💖 brought me a smile and made my day!!

Joey is the entire reason behind everything I do. The reason I started to become passionate about senior dogs and wanted to adopt other senior dogs 🤍 3 years ago today, Joey’s soul departed from this world and moved on to another one. He got one last weekend of fun foods and lots of love and cuddles before we said the hardest goodbye we have to say as pet parents. But Joey’s legacy lives on through everything I do and every other dog and family I can help 🤍🤍 thank you to all of you who help Joey’s legacy live on through you and your pups 💖 Joey, you are missed every single day, I love you 🤍

Meet Miss. Ivis! 💖 Ivis is a 12 year old Samoyed who has diabetes, as well as a few tummy issues and some arthritis. She is a very very sweet (and fluffy) girl! Have you ever seen a dog so fluffy?! Ivis got here just in time for our lovely snowfall, she absolutely loves it ❄️⛄️

Say hello to Gem!💎 Gem had some spa services today in the comfort of her own home. I paid her a visit to do her nails, give her a nice good brush, and trim the fur around her paw pads. Did you know that the fur that grows between the paw pads is almost like us wearing really slippery slippers? For an older dog that has traction issues, we want to do as much as we can to help them be functional and comfortable. Trimming this extra hair can give them much better grip on the floor and you will quickly see their confidence rise! Gem was an absolute angel for her spa day and actually fell asleep during her brush! If you have any questions about these types of services and if they might be right for your pup, don’t hesitate to shoot me a message! 💖

Meet Chip!! I met Chip rather unexpectedly earlier this year when he had to have emergency bladder stone surgery while his parents were on vacation. He was an absolute angel and since then he has been back twice, and brought his sister Winnie along as well! Chip is a senior boy and he will always have a place in the Joey’s Legacy family 🤍🥺 stay tuned for Winnie’s introduction post!

Ivis is the newest member of the Joey’s Legacy family. Her dad had to leave town pretty suddenly and their amazing vet clinic @greenlaneanimalhospital recommended us for boarding! Ivis has diabetes, which means she needs an insulin injection twice a day. Insulin is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) and these injections are very important in the maintenance of diabetes. If your pup has special needs, such as needing an injectable medication, you can rest easy knowing you can count on me to provide this service ☺️ if you have any questions about what other services I provide as an RVT, please shoot me a message! • • #dogsofinstagram #dog #dogsofcanada #dogs #dogstagram #seniordog #seniordogsofinstagram #seniordogsrock #dogboarding #dogboardingbusiness #seniordogboarding #joeyslegacy #petcare #caninediabetes #insulin #vettech #registeredveterinarytechnician #rvt #samoyed #samoyedsofinstagram
