Hey community! Your contributions helped secure bloodwork and other diagnostics for a senior dog experiencing some serious health concerns!

We’re also helping this pup access a veterinary behaviorist! Their pawrenrs have done SO MUCH for our pet community in Richmond, and we are so excited to show that love back.

We are $188 away from fully meeting their needs. Can you help? If your financial needs are met, consider sharing via Venmo (bestlifedogservices), Cash App ($bestlifedogservices), or PayPal (bestlifedogservices @ gmail.com) or by making a purchase in our Bonfire store!

Spreading the word is SO HELPFUL!

🎉🥳We have raised over $1,000 for Nina’s $2,500 surgery, which has been matched dollar for dollar by a generous community member! THANK YOU!!

With only ✨ $497 ✨ left to raise, another community member has offered to sponsor the rest of our contributions *this evening* up to $100!

This need is a huge quality of life issue, and we are so thrilled that we have raised only the full amount in only a few days. Nina has needed this surgery for quite a while, and we can’t wait to see how much better she feels once she’s healed!

If your financial needs are met please consider contributing to the Best Life Accessibility Fund using one of the methods below. Sharing, reposting, and engaging with this post are also super helpful ways to help Nina!

Nina is a 3yo Sh*tzu in need of surgery urgently for her luxating patella. Nina’s knee dislocates easily, causing her severe pain. Her doctor’s warn that Nina needs surgery immediately, and we are helping her family to raise those funds through the Best Life Accessibility Fund.

We need $2500 for the low-cost surgery option. A generous donor is matching the first $1000 in contributions! This means that when you contribute $5, you’re actually making $10 happen for Nina!

If your financial needs are met, please consider contributing to Nina’s surgery fund. Engaging with this post, sharing it to your stories, sending it to friends, or tagging people or groups who might be able to help are also ways to have a big impact!

I just dropped off a bunch of leashes, collars, harnesses, shampoo, bandanas, and bow ties at the Meadowbridge .free.pet.pantry.project hosted by ! Folks were there for the Free Store (open on Saturdays) and were amped about all the goodies.

✨There was a specific request for cat food✨ & the pantry was currently empty of any food items. If you’re able to swing by 3613 Meadowbridge Road and add some cat food, I know it would be very much appreciated! (Richmond, VA)

✨Support Needed✨

The Best Life Accessibility Fund is raising money to help Nina get her CCL surgery. Nina’s vet recommends the surgery immediately, as Nina’s pain is difficult to manage effectively and it is difficult to keep her as immobile as needed.

Excitedly, we have a sponsor who is willing to match financial contributions up to ✨$1,000✨. So if you send $5, it gets $10 put in towards Nina’s care.

Can you help us reach our goal of $2,500?

Contributions can be sent via Venmo (), Cash App ($bestlifedogservices), or PayPal ([email protected]). PayPal takes a fee, so the first two options are best if possible.

Please reference Nina in your note when sending ❤️

We are ✨thrilled✨ to introduce a brand-new design in our Bonfire store! This special artwork features Jolene, my heart dog and the inspiration behind the Best Life logo. Jolene passed several years ago, but this beautiful image, lovingly created by one of our clients, AJ Bravo, warms my heart. 💖

You can now find this design on a variety of products in our Bonfire store, and all proceeds go directly to the Best Life Accessibility Fund (BLAF). BLAF is a mutual aid fund supporting our community members whose financial needs are not met.

Over the years, it has helped cover the costs of behavior therapy, management and enrichment items, emergency surgery, urgent surgeries, veterinary specialists, continuing education, behavioral euthanasia, and more.

We are making another supply run down south tomorrow! There are still volunteer opportunities for those interested.

We’ve also made a highlight reel in our profile of mutual aid efforts.

There is a big need for chainsaws and related safety equipment, and generators.

You can pitch in for our supply run via the BLAF.

We are looking for a few more folks to toss treats this Saturday at 1230! If you’re available to help pups with stranger danger build their social skills, send us an email!

On Thursday we drove down to Hillsborough, NC to a warehouse that’s being utilized by a collaboration of mutual aid groups, including and to collect and redistribute supplies.

People can drop off supplies at this location, and folks can pick up supplies from this location and take them back to their impacted communities.

For a lot of folks this might be a feasible day trip. ✨ We are going back next week and are accepting financial contributions and physical supplies to take down✨

There are also ways to volunteer remotely both with this project, and others! You can find more information including links and QR codes on the 2nd slide of this post, and the rest are other ways to contribute via mutual aid. There’s also a slide with information on writing letters of encouragement and love to those implanted.

We have previous posts with more orgs, too. Remember, mutual aid gets resource directly to people who need them. Prioritize mutual aid over corporate non-profits.

To contribute to the BLAF we can accept funds via Venmo (), Cash App ($Bestlifedogservices), and PayPal ([email protected]).

We took the $425 you all sent to the Best Life Accessibility Fund and took it to Costco, where we loaded up on socks, underwear, adult diapers, baby diapers, tampons, soap, baby formula, and toothpaste.

We’ve also had folks drop off supplies, and have more hygiene items, blankets, boots, fans, and more to share. Our travel buddy is picking up chewable Benadryl and First Aid kits!

Tomorrow we’ll head down to Hillsborough where supplies are being collected at a central location and picked up by various mutual aid groups to be brought back distributed to communities affected by the hurricane.

We’ll spend the rest of the day volunteering - you can too! Check out this Google form where you can sign up to volunteer at the warehouse - only a 2.5 hour drive from Richmond: https://forms.gle/NmED46HtJ6mfSs6r8
