🎓✨Congratulations to Panchito on graduating from obedience lessons!✨🐶

We couldn’t be more proud of the progress this sweet family continues to make. Panchito is so fortunate to have been rescued by them! Four months ago, they didn’t even know this nervous, scared boy’s name. They have put in the hard work and today, he politely, and very happily greeted me…without jumping! He also enjoyed pets instead of being scared of the stranger in his new home. 🐾🙌

🐶It’s so much fun to hear about the new adventures they’re already enjoying together; like neighborhood walks with their friends and their pups! Can’t wait to continue supporting them on this journey to even more confidence and fun! 🤩

🐾 In honor of , let’s celebrate the incredible women like Mary Tealby who have been pioneers in canine welfare. Tealby founded the first animal shelter in London in 1860 called the Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs, later known as Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. She pledged to care for them until they found their way home or new owners. Despite initial ridicule from the press, support from figures like Charles Dickens 📚 helped change public perception, shedding a positive light on Tealby's compassionate efforts. 🐩🐕‍🦺🦮

“In the veterinary program, I did not feel odd being a part of the group of students working in the veterinary clinic although I was the only black person there,” Dr. Patterson wrote in his autobiography, Chronicles of Faith. “The absence of animosity encouraged me to see veterinary medicine as a field in which I could practice without being hampered by the racial stereotypes and obstacles that would confront me as a medical doctor, for example. I found the teachers of Iowa State helpful whenever I approached them. Educationally, it was a fine experience.”
