Hazel Grace had ACL surgery at the end of July. We have been doing a mix of hydrotherapy treadmill sessions and assisted swims. She's back to starting to fly! I'm so happy for her! I love you Hazel! ❤️

My new little friend Milo has lux patella. We are working on strengthening his muscle to hopefully stage off surgery and help him as he lifts his leg and now is getting a camel back because of poor gait from compensation. Because he had never been swimming before we are first working on getting him comfortable with it and he is still getting benefits at the same time. I got you little man! ❤️

Rosie! My new friend Rosie had never been swimming in a pool before but had been in lakes. It took her a few to get the hang of it. This is why I need to do assisted swims when your dog has never been in a pool before. It's very different and they need to acclimate. It's not about the ability to swim. It's about the difference between a pool and a lake. I'm so happy she enjoyed it so much! ❤️

Tigger is an adopted rescue. His Dad wanted to see how he would do at swimming!. Swimming is fantastic overall exercise for the body and mind. It took him a bit and he's come such a long way! Now we can't get him to stop! 🤣❤️

My friend Max needs to find his forever family. ❤️Please share

Hi friends! Just Max here hanging out and reminding everyone that I’m still looking for forever. Car rides are mandatory (I will ask for them….). Also couch cuddles are too - if you give me buttons to press I’ll ask for those too. I may have to be an only animal but laughs and smiles are guaranteed when I’m around.

We are looking for an adoptive home within an hour of Antioch, Des Plaines or Elgin, Illinois.
