As we approach Memorial Day, at Winston-Salem Dog Care, we pause to honor and remember not only the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country but also the courageous canines. These devoted dogs have served alongside our troops, providing loyalty, protection, and companionship. They've detected dangers, saved lives, and brought comfort in the most challenging circumstances, often making the ultimate sacrifice. Today, we reflect on their unwavering valor and the deep bonds between soldiers and their four-legged comrades. We are forever grateful for their service. 🇺🇸🐾

🌟 Exciting news from our latest visit to the Skyline Animal Hospital in Matthews!

Today, our beloved whippet, Vera, had her 6-month check-up for congestive heart failure, and we've got some heartwarming updates to share.

Our cardiologist brought us some uplifting news—Vera's treatment has not progressed and one of her enlarged heart chambers has actually decreased in size. No progression in her condition has been noted over the last six months, which is just fantastic and better than we could have hoped for.

🎉 We’re beyond thrilled to report that Vera remains cough-free and seems to be living her best life, symptom-free, as long as she continues with her medications. We are deeply grateful for each day we get to spend with her, and cherish every moment of her joyful, wagging presence.

💙 A huge shoutout to our amazing cardiologist who made our day with her enthusiasm and care. We’re already looking forward to Vera’s next check-up, now scheduled for nine months from now. Thanks to everyone at Skyline for your dedication and for keeping our spirits high!

Celebrating Grace Miller: A Shining Star in Our Pack

As this week marks Grace Miller's final days at Winston-Salem Dog Care, we want to take a moment to celebrate her incredible journey with us. Grace is embarking on a new life adventure, getting married and moving to the coast, and while we are thrilled for her, her absence will be deeply felt.

From day one, Grace was a natural. Her passion for dogs and her innate understanding of their needs shone through in everything she did. She quickly became not just a dog walker but a cherished member of our pack, setting a standard of care and professionalism that will be a lasting legacy here.

Grace's journey with us has been remarkable, filled with memorable moments, tail wags, and puppy kisses. Her commitment to our furry clients and their human families exemplified the spirit of Winston-Salem Dog Care - professional, caring, and always willing to go the extra mile.

As she steps into this exciting new chapter, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes. We're not quite ready to let go of Grace's magic and we hope after she gets settled we can pull her back on board as a virtual assistant, continuing to contribute her invaluable skills to our team.

Grace, thank you for being an extraordinary part of our journey. Your impact on our team and the pets we serve is immeasurable. We can't wait to see all the wonderful things you will accomplish. Remember, you will always have a home here at Winston-Salem Dog Care.

Here’s to new horizons, continued success, and the enduring bonds of our dog care family. 🐾❤️

With admiration and best wishes,
Your Winston-Salem Dog Care Family

Please share and read all the way through.

MISSING DOG

***Editing to add: For clarity, this dog is not with Stepping Stones. She was rescued in a puppy mill bust through Forsyth Humane Society. So we don't have any information about sightings or how the search is going. We wanted to share the information so that people are aware she is missing and they know what to do if they see her.***

Update on Raven and instructions if spotted:

February 2, 2024
Lynn Byrd, 828-707-3647
Heads up, WSNC West End People! Please share in your nextdoor group and other associations where possible

If you see this dog, please call or text me immediately. Please do not post sightings on this thread.

This girl is an 80 pound Giant Schnauzer who came from a puppy mill in Missouri. She's part of a very large rescue effort with humane societies in many states. She is about 1.5 to to 2 years old, and had never in her life set foot out of the small "box" she shared with her sister and a male who most likely bred with them. She does not know her name.

She stayed at FHS for approximately 10 days before being placed in a foster home on Wednesday Jan. 31, in downtown WS near 4th and Holly. She escaped the first night she was there, ran down Fourth Street toward the West End and disappeared into the night.

My dog Shaman and I have tracked her twice and feel she is still hunkered down in or near the West End neighborhood.

We need people to know what to do and more importantly, what NOT to do if they see her.

PLEASE DO NOT CHASE, FOLLOW, RUN, STEP towards her, or APPROACH her in any way .This will serve only to push her away, and we need her to stay still so we can lure or trap her.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL OUT to her if you see her. She is very scared and shut down, but not dangerous.

IGNORE HER

PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE HER FROM YOUR PROPERTY BY YELLING OR RUNNING AT HER. Let her be, and call me ASAP at 828-707-3647. We will come for her right away.

If you see her PLEASE CALL Lynn at 828-707-3647 ASAP. I need to know the time you saw her, the exact location, and if she is moving, the direction she is heading.

Ignore her. Don't look at her. Do not approach her. Just call me and keep an eye on her until we can get there and move her safely into a crate or car.

She may be in someone's garage or garden shed, under a car, or dug in behind some bushes. You may see her when you take out your trash, hiding behind the cans.

If she is in your back yard and you can close the gate and keep her there while you call me, we will be forever grateful.

At this point, please don't put food out for her. Water is fine. But we may need to set up a food station at someone's house which means we need her to eat in one location only. We'll discuss this more thoroughly later on, if needed.

We really need a sighting of this girl. SHE IS NOT DANGEROUS, and may gravitate toward other dogs. But please bring yours in if you have a chance to get her into your yard, and close the gate behind her.

Please text or call 828-707-3647 asap with sightings. I need time, location, and direction she is heading if she is on the move. Please do not post sightings on this post. And please do not chase her.

Thank you so much!
Lynn Byrd, Tracker
