Roger is a beautiful 4 month old brindle pup with grey eyes. He absolutely loves other dogs and playing with toys. He is potty trained and goes potty on command. He knows his sit, come, and is working on his down command. He rides excellent in the car and walks phenomenal on a leash. His foster mom has 3 dogs and can walk all 4 dogs together. Roger would love to be your hiking companion, walking buddy, and snuggle bug. He loves to cuddle up on the couch and lay on your chest. He is the sweetest boy with the best personality. He would do great in a home with dogs, adults, and kids. If you are interested in Roger, please fill out an application online at Mary's Dogs. He is eager to find his furever home.

Time for acupuncture on one of my own, Princess Leia. She is still doing well after she had an FCE almost 2 years ago. Her left front leg is weaker than the others and she has a patella luxation in her right hind leg, which is why I still do acupuncture on her every 2-3 months for maintenance. I have also added laser therapy to her treatment plan as well. She definitely walks more confidently and with greater ease when she has these treatments. Our other dog, Dewey, is keeping her company and feeling what I like to call "referred acupuncture effects". Aramis, one of our cats, is supervising to ensure that the electrical acupuncture settings are correct. Acupuncture treatments are always a family affair ❤️🐾.

This is Goose. He is a playful, loveable goofy boy who always showers me with kisses at every appointment ❤️. I started doing acupuncture on him for dysplasia in his hip and a few injuries along the way. Please join me in wishing him a very Happy Birthday today 🐾🎉! His brother, Basil, is giving him cuddles and making sure he enjoys the day.

I am now offering laser therapy through MedcoVet. This laser uses a specific type of light, called photobiomodulation, to help reduce inflammation. It is a Class I laser so it can be administered by you at home using the treatment plan I prescribe in an app portal. This can help with a number of different ailments, including arthritis, dysplasia, back issues, and even wounds or skin conditions. Please contact me via phone or e-mail if you are interested in learning more. Pictured is one of my patients, Roxie, receiving laser therapy administered by her wonderful owner.

This sweet silver fox is being fostered through Motley Mutts Rescue. His name is Harvey and he is about 14 years young ❤️. He is great with other dogs and cats. He is crate trained, does not bark, potties outside with minimal accidents, and enjoys his food. Harvey is a cuddle bug and loves to ride in the car. He is a cool dude who just goes with the flow and would make a great addition to your family!

This is Rowen! He is such an amazing, joyful dog who is always happy to see me ❤️. The acupuncture treatments he has been receiving and the herbals are helping him enjoy life in spite of his Wobblers disease. Rowen always wants to play instead of sitting still when the needles are placed so Mom decided to try a lick mat to distract him. This was the result! He held the mat (filled with pumpkin and sweet potato) in his mouth for most of the time. This boy always makes me laugh!

This is adorable Ivy receiving acupuncture for hind leg weakness due to a back issue. She really enjoys her treatments and takes a nice, deep sleep afterwards too mom says? These treatments along with physical therapy and herbals are helping to improve her walk and she is no longer dropping poops in the house like she had been initially.
