PART 2: Rescued, Rehabbed, and Placed. This truly never gets old for our foundation…Sweet Daffodil was adopted! 🌼 When she arrived at 14-weeks-old with severely bowed legs due to carpal laxity syndrome, our team jumped into action. Doing physical rehabilitation with a puppy was not easy, but we are so lucky to have experts on hand at our facility that used a combination of rehabilitation exercises to straighten her legs after being confined in a crate. Thanks to everyone’s support and hard work, she is thriving! Swipe to see some memories, before & after pictures, her new sibling/family and more.

Thank you to our supporters, staff, and everyone involved in giving Daffodil a second chance. 💖

Swimming is a fantastic form of exercise for pets, good for both weight loss and cardiovascular fitness. It’s also a wonderful treatment for animal depression, anxiety, and pet behavioral disorders related to anxiety since it raises your pet’s serotonin levels. In fact, swimming just once every two weeks will keep your pet’s serotonin levels at the puppy level. How’s that for motivation?

Meet Baby Pebbles. This sweet puppy has had a really hard start at life. Rescued from a hoarders house, he has no use of his legs at the moment, but he has feeling in them so there is hope that he will walk. We are so proud of him for staying strong and resilient during his daily rehab and acupuncture, at our clinic. He also needs his bladder and bowels expressed daily. Once you get the hang of it, it really is not difficult at all. Our special needs babies need amazing humans to take them in! He’s amazing with all people and other dogs! Just a little baby who had a rough start and is now learning what it’s like to be loved! If you are an amazing human and would be interested in fostering or adopting this cutie pie, please fill out an app on @theanimalrescuemission site! @uss__pup thank you @wagsandwalks for saving this baby!
