One Lucky Dog

09/26/2022

The hardest part of my job is when an animal in my care has a medical emergency. I'm lucky that in the last 17 years there have only been a few. Today was not a lucky day. Sweet Blackie started having seizures today. I rushed her to VSEC and tried to contact her family in France. Unfortunately it was too much for this old girl..22years old... And while facetiming her family I helped her cross the rainbow bridge. My heart breaks for her family that couldn't be with her but I'm glad I could stand in. I care for all my clients like they are my own and I mourn their loss as if I have lost a cherished family member. 💔 rest in peace sweet girl

Someone needs to adopt this handsome boy❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾

Smokey is hoping that his good looks will catch the eye of a potential foster or adopter! This handsome chow has both brains and beauty and would love a home with someone who can help provide him structure so he can keep up his commands he learned in training.

It’s that time of year and we are already hearing about dogs being bitten by rattlesnakes. Simi Valley is an amazing place to live but we share this land with wildlife and need to protect our pets. If you’re looking for a rattlesnake avoidance class, please checkout the link we’ve provided for local training. You should also consider getting your dog(s) the rattlesnake vaccine if you hike or live close to the hills. The vaccine will give you the necessary time to get your pet to a hospital and lessen how much anti-venom they will need but will not protect them fully. Classes to train your dogs to avoid rattlesnakes is really your best bet.
Please make sure that your vet carries the anti-venom before heading there with a bitten pet. Many do not carry this! If they don’t, ask where the closest place is that carries it and make sure you know where they are should you ever need them.
BE SAFE!

Ready… set… 💣📱🙉 ❤️ HELLO!
I am Colin the Collie from Calexico
I am 4.5 months old.
Everyone that meets me tells me how big I am going to get!
I don’t know but what I do know is I love all the attention and I love all the dogs and people I have met at Thrive.
I dream of my forever home having a yard, grown ups and maybe some kids that want to give me lots of attention. Another doggy playmate would be great!
