Norma and Rick have been part of the Amina's Pet Care family since 2024, and I’ve had the privilege of getting to know some very special dogs in their home. 🤍
When I first met them, there was Riley and Layla, two rescue pitties who immediately stole my heart. After Riley passed due to health issues, they opened their home again—this time to Kane.
Kane came from Pasadena Animal Shelter, rescued by Three Little Pitties Rescue. He was underweight, struggling with skin issues, and needing time to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. Norma and Rick poured so much patience, structure, training, and love into him, and what a transformation it has been. (Slide 2 & 3)
That once-scrawny shelter pup is now a strong, goofy little powerhouse with an electric personality. He’s playful, VERY talkative, and certainly isn’t shy about letting you know what’s on his mind. 😂
And sweet Layla is the calm to Kane’s chaos. She’s gentle, affectionate, incredibly patient, and has been by his side through his entire transition. But when a lizard enters the yard, all bets are off—our girl takes her lizard-chasing duties very seriously! 😂
Rescue holds a special place in my heart because it’s where my own journey in animal care began, so getting to care for families like this is incredibly meaningful. Every APC pet has their own story, personality, and journey, and getting to know and love each of them as individuals is one of the greatest privileges of what I do.
From Riley, to Layla and Kane, I’m grateful to have a little front-row seat (and permanent guest room 😉) to this family’s story. 🤍
