We are working on getting Sophia better ‘sneakers’ if you will- She was born with deformities on all 4 limbs, with toes nails growing into her paw pads from deformed tootsies. We have performed one surgery so far to help avoid her feeling like she has rocks in her shoes. She still needs care and a wonderful loving home! Please consider adopting or donating to her care!

Enjoy a wholesome moment where rescue dogs get a pup cup!

All three of these cuties have received medical care and love from the GRCGLA Reacue and Talega Animal Hospital.

We are so proud of how far they’ve come in their confidence!

Wrigley had his first weigh in after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism.

Start weight: 128lbs

Current weight: ?

I’m so surprised he’s still available for adoption! He’s a love bug and a half! If you’re looking to add a very sweet mister in your life, I would snag him up quickly!

Kershaw is a senior boy who is in rescue, which is shocking considering how cute, sweet, and docile this little man is. He is up for anything and nothing all at once. We love having him, but would also love to see him snuggled up on a couch at YOUR house! 🏠

🌟 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MEET VIVIAN! 🌟🥤🐾

At Talega Animal Hospital, we pride ourselves on having a team that can do it all—but Vivian takes 'multitasking' to a whole new level! 🚀✨

The Ultimate Hybrid:
Vivian is our resident 'Swiss Army Knife.' Whether she’s at the front desk as a CSR extraordinaire or in the back as a skilled Veterinary Assistant, she handles every patient (and pet parent!) with total pro vibes. 🩺💻

Her True Specialization:
While she’s cross-trained in medicine and management, Vivian has a third unofficial certification: Emergency Diet Coke Logistics. 🥤💨

If the clinic’s caffeine levels drop below critical, Vivian is already out the door on a high-stakes Diet Coke run. In fact, she’s so dedicated to the cause that she’s even started color-coordinating her scrubs to the Diet Coke box.

A Few More Reasons We Love Vivian:
✅ She can juggle a ringing phone and a wiggly puppy at the same time.
✅ She knows exactly how to make our team (and our patients) feel at home.
✅ She’s the secret ingredient that keeps TAH running smoothly—and caffeinated! ☕🔥

Next time you see Vivian at the clinic, be sure to give her a shoutout—or maybe just a fresh can of DC! 😉🥤 ...But make sure you have one for Dr. Snyder if you give one to Vivian, or she'll be jealous.

✨ MAN! I FEEL LIKE AN... ADOPTION! ✨🎤🐾

Meet our magnificent country queen, Shania Twain! 🌟

GRCGLA Rescue pulled this gorgeous gal from a local shelter, and she didn’t just walk in—she strutted right through our doors at Talega Animal Hospital —and she hasn’t looked back since. 💃🐕

The Royal Treatment:
-Shania’s stylists went straight to work giving her a fabulous blowout, and she absolutely loved every second of the pampering. ✨🧼
-Her medical team performed extensive testing to make sure she's healthy. And off to spay surgery she goes! We're always so happy to help the rescue groups make sure the dogs they have in their care are happy and as healthy as can be!

The Stats on Our Star:
🎂 Age: 3 years and 10 months
⚖️ Weight: 88 lbs of pure love
🧬 Breed: A majestic Great Pyrenees with a sprinkle of Golden Retriever—the ultimate loyal and loving combination!

What We Adore (So Far!):
🚗 Travel Pro: She rides beautifully in the car (no tour bus needed!).
👯‍♀️ Social Butterfly: She loves meeting new people and soaks up attention like the true headliner she is.
🐾 The 'Bossy Paw': Shania has a signature move—if you stop petting her, she’ll gently remind you with a 'bossy paw' nudge or a sweet kiss to keep the love going. 💋🐾

The Verdict:
Trust us... if she chooses you as her person, she’ll be singing 'You're Still the One' to you every single day. She’s proven to be incredibly steady and patient—what we like to call 'bomb, child, and even drunk-proof!' 🛡️👶😂

Could YOU be Shania’s Forever Fan?
Shania is looking for her 'Forever and for Always' home.

📞 Call us at (949) 481-8387 or send us a message to schedule a meet-and-greet with this Grammy-winning girl today!

Take a look at these dental radiographs (X-rays) from one of our recent small-breed patients. Despite appearing 'fine' on the surface, these X-rays revealed severe bone loss around every single tooth. Sadly, this patient required full-mouth extractions to finally live a pain-free life. 💔🐾

Why Small Breeds are at Higher Risk:
If you have a Maltese, Pomeranian, Yorkie, or other small breed, their teeth are crowded into a much smaller space, making them prone to rapid plaque buildup. Dental disease happens fast in these little ones! 💨🐶

Dr. Snyder’s Recommendation:
To prevent periodontal disease from leading to extractions, we recommend annual professional dental cleanings starting at just 1 year of age for small breeds. Early intervention is the key to keeping those pearly whites in place!

Our team is equipped to provide comprehensive dental care, including:
✅ Professional Cleanings & Polishing
✅ Advanced Extractions (when necessary for comfort)
✅ Bonded Sealants (to protect weakened enamel and prevent further decay)

Don’t wait until your pet is in pain. Let’s get ahead of dental disease together! 🛡️✨

📞 Call us at (949) 481-8387 to schedule a dental consultation for your small-breed superstar today!

Let's be honest. This isn't a "mood" for a Cavalier, it's a lifestyle!
