Kaeto had his first massage with Whitney at Revive Animal Massage this week and it went AMAZING!

When I adopted Kaeto he was feral and no one was able to touch him. He can be a little apprehensive of new people and I wasn't sure how he'd handle it. He immediately took to Whitney! She handled him with expertise, patience, and listened to what he needed. And, when the first thing he did was walk in, lay on the bed, and 💩💩; she laughed it off and blamed nerves. 🤦🏼‍♀️ (Cue embarrassment!)

Following his appointment, she sent a personalized treatment plan with detailed after care instructions, treatment notes, and his body chart. She is very thorough and caring. The next day Kaeto was already moving better! I am looking forward to seeing his progress after more sessions with Whitney.

If you are looking to improve your dog's health and mobility, I would highly recommend Revive Animal Massage... Kaeto agrees!

🇺🇸🐾 Honoring Our Veterans & Our Pet to Vet Program 🐾🇺🇸

This Veterans Day, we’re celebrating the incredible service and sacrifice of our veterans. Thank you for your courage, dedication, and commitment to protecting our country. ❤️💙

In the spirit of giving back, we’re highlighting our Shelter Friends Pet to Vet Program! 🩺🐕 The Pet to Vet program is in honor of John Hoffman, a longtime supporter of Shelter Friends who had a vision of uniting shelter animals with veterans that had a need. He recognized how a cat or dog can help alleviate some of the anxiety, depression, or PTSD issues that many of our military veterans may face. This supporter wanted to sponsor these adoptions as well as miscellaneous supplies that may be needed, such as food, bedding, a leash, etc. He merely wanted to help a veteran out that has a need and would benefit from this gift.

As we honor our nation’s heroes, let’s also remember the four-legged companions who can offer unconditional love and comfort to those who have served. 🐾❤️

💙 Consider supporting the Pet to Vet Program today or helping spread the word. Together, we can make a world of difference for animals and the veterans who may one day find solace in their company.

In my neighborhood this is what we call the walk of shame.... Mom yelling at you to get your old @$$ back home from the driver's window of the car after being chased down the street. 😡🤬

DO NOT DISCARD "EXPIRED" PET ITEMS!
I will happily pay any shipping costs or pick up items for a combined shipment. If you have connections in the pet industry that would be willing to participate in something like this but maybe can't for legal reasons, please PM me! I am not above dumpster diving to enrich rescue dog's lives. Also, if you have expired items not listed here I can often network with other rescues in need of other stuff.

Can you please HELP US by donating expired monthly preventive such as Simparica, Nexgard, Heartgard, Tri-Heart PLUS, for the refuge, please?
We are completely out of it for next month.
We do NOT use Simparica TRIO, any topical (liquid) preventives, or Bravecto, for the safety of our beautiful dogs. Liquid treatments will cause burns on the dogs, in the hot sun of the island.
Thank you! 😀
PLEASE! You can ship it here:

If you are waiting for a message from me don't worry I didn't forget about you!!! I forgot my schedule book today and will message those of you this evening for new appointments. Thank you!!!

You know that game with the capsule you go inside and you try to grab as much money as you can? 💸💸💸 Well, same concept here but the prize sucks...
This is my newest modification (aka ridiculous contraption) to the groom shop. Kaeto and Keno were my test subjects and things went great! Cory Homestead is going to add a filtration device so the fur won't be flying all over. I am much more excited about this than you guys may be but I just had to share the new drying tent!!

More pics in comments. The "tent" is a two person sports tent intended for spectators to stay out of the elements while watching the game. It took me a long time to find the right solution because I wanted something big enough I could go inside with any dogs that may be timid about it and I wanted it to be fully see thru. It won't be used for all clients; only the ones comfortable with it. And huskies... all the huskies!! 🐺😶‍🌫️

First decent picture I have of Guinea Pig! I had to pretend to run away for him to put his ears up for once. 😆 Eleanor from Oregon Dog Rescue did an amazing job. The Canby Dahlia Festival was a great location too. 🏵
