🐾 MEET MOLLY! 🐾
Everyone say hello to Molly, an 8-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer who is ready to get back to doing what she does best - adventuring! 🐶💨

Molly suddenly stopped bearing weight on her right hind leg a few months ago. After veterinary evaluation, she was diagnosed with a Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) tear. She underwent surgical stabilization shortly after.

Molly is still in the early stages of recovery and is now starting to bear weight in her hind limb! ❤️

So what’s our plan? Help Molly improve her mobility, flexibility, strength, and confidence so she can work her way back to her daily activities. 💪🐾
What’s waiting for her at the finish line? 🎯
🌲 HUNTING ADVENTURES! 🦌🐶

For now, it’s all about taking recovery one step (or three-legged wiggle) at a time! 😉🐾

Drop a 🐾 below and help us cheer Molly on as she begins her road back to adventure! ❤️

🐾 Meet Lily! 🐾
Lily is a sweet 6-year-old Yorkshire Terrier joining us for rehab after bilateral Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CrCL) tears. 💕🐶
Her journey began with left hindlimb lameness back in March. After continued limping and further evaluation, Lily was diagnosed with bilateral CrCL tears, with her right side being worse than the left. She underwent right extracapsular suture stabilization on 7/13/26 and had her left stifle procedure on 8/31/26. 🏥
Since surgery, Lily has been putting more weight through her leg and is making progress! 💪✨ Now, her goal is to build back her strength, mobility, and confidence so she can return to the active lifestyle she loves—including running! 🏃‍♀️🐾
We’re so excited to be part of Lily’s recovery journey! Keep up the great work, Lily! We’re cheering you on every step of the way! 🎉❤️

Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001. We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, and we honor the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and everyday people who ran toward danger to help others.

We also honor the more than 300 search and rescue dogs who worked at Ground Zero in the days that followed. A lasting reminder of the loyalty and service dogs bring into our lives every day.

Remember. Honor. Never forget.

🐾 Meet Takota! 🐾
Everyone meet Takota, a 1.5-year-old mixed breed who has started physical therapy to help him recover from bilateral elbow dysplasia and medial coronoid process fragmentation. 💙
Takota's journey began when he was just 8 months old after an injury at the dog park left him with an on-and-off limp. Although the injury was initially treated as a sprain, his lameness never fully resolved. A specialty orthopedic evaluation later revealed bilateral elbow dysplasia, and Takota underwent bilateral arthroscopic subtotal coronoidectomy with PRP injections on 7/7/26.
While he's still experiencing a limp—Takota is ready to get to work! 💪 Through physical therapy, we'll focus on improving strength, stability, and comfort in both front limbs so he can get back to running, playing, and enjoying life pain-free.
Help us cheer Takota on as he begins his road to recovery! ❤️🐾

🐾 Meet Ace! 🐾
Say hello to Ace, a 9-year-old Shetland Sheepdog with a passion for agility who has started physical therapy to get back to doing what he loves most! 💙
Earlier this year, Ace began having awkward takeoffs and hard landings during agility, eventually developing a stuttered jump and slowing down on the course. After veterinary evaluations and radiographs, he was diagnosed with mild arthritis in his left hip and both stifles, along with early lumbar spondylosis. His veterinary team also suspects a soft tissue or ligament injury contributing to his mobility challenges.
The good news? 🎉 With rest and home stretching, Ace has already made progress! His stuttered jumping has improved, but he's still hesitant on stairs and his running gait isn't quite back to normal.
Our goal is to help Ace improve his strength, mobility, flexibility, and stability so he can safely return to agility while keeping him comfortable for years to come. 💪🐶
Join us in cheering Ace on as he works toward getting back in the agility ring! ❤️🐾

🐾💙 MEET HOSMER! 💙🐾
Everyone say hello to Hosmer, a handsome 10-year-old Corgi who is joining us to work on keeping those little legs moving and making the most of every adventure! 🐶✨
Over the past few months, Hosmer’s family noticed he was becoming a little wobbly on his feet, dragging his back legs, and sitting with his feet kicked out to the side. 🐾 His neurologic workup and genetic testing showed he is at risk for Degenerative Myelopathy (DM).
Hosmer isn’t painful, but his hind legs can make everyday activities a little tricky. He especially has trouble getting up on hard floors and his left foot tends to drag more than his right. 🥺
But there’s still plenty of fun to be had! 🏊‍♂️💦 Hosmer LOVES going for a swim, and we’re excited to use PT to help him stay as strong, comfortable, and active as possible! 💪🐾
Our goals? 🎯
✨ Keep those muscles working
✨ Improve mobility and balance
✨ Help prevent injuries from dragging his feet
✨ Make his home environment easier to navigate
✨ Keep Hosmer enjoying his favorite activities for as long as possible!
We’re ready to cheer this sweet Corgi on and help him make the most of every adventure! ❤️🐶
Who else thinks Hosmer deserves ALL the swimming adventures?! 🏊‍♂️💦 Drop a 🐾 below to cheer him on!

🐾 Meet Rose! 🐾
Everyone say hello to Rose, a sweet Bernese Mountain Dog mix who has started physical therapy following her right forelimb amputation. 💙
Rose was born with a congenital deformity in her right front leg that became increasingly painful over time. Despite medical management, even walking or running would cause discomfort. After further evaluation revealed multiple bone fragments near the deformity, the decision was made to perform a right forelimb amputation on 6/26/26.
Although Rose experienced a minor post-operative setback with an infection at her surgical site, she's healing well and is ready to begin the next chapter of her recovery! 🌟 Since she relied very little on that leg before surgery, she's already adapting to life on three legs.
Through physical therapy, we'll help Rose build strength and endurance, improve her balance and body alignment, and protect her remaining limbs so she can enjoy the best possible quality of life. 💪🐶
Please join us in cheering Rose on as she learns that three legs can take her just about anywhere! ❤️🐾

🐾 Meet Dexter! 🐾
Say hello to Dexter, an 11-year-old Australian Shepherd who has started physical therapy following his right TPLO surgery on 6/9/26. 💙
Dexter had been managing arthritis-related mobility challenges for the past couple of years, but after a fall while playing in the yard, his right hind leg became much more painful. When rest and medication didn't bring relief, a consultation with SVOC confirmed a right cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tear, and surgery was the next step toward getting him back on his paws.
The good news? 🎉 Dexter is already making progress! He's using his right leg more, becoming increasingly active, and is eager to keep moving.
Our goal is to help Dexter rebuild strength, improve mobility, and safely return to the activities he loves while supporting his long-term joint health. 💪🐶
Help us cheer Dexter on as he works toward a strong recovery, one step at a time! ❤️🐾
