Kisa Medical Update: September 2014

It’s been 3 weeks and one day since Kisa’s vet visit with a new holistic vet. We noticed some mild improvement the first 2 weeks on her supplements as we waited for her allergy test results. We’ve had her allergy results for a week and boy, Kisa is allergic to a lot of foods. Her list of allergies is so long that we decided to list the foods she is not allergic to as it is a very short list: Salmon Sardines Tuna…

DC SIR Foster Update: Dari

Hi, my name is Dari! I am looking for my perfect forever home, so I thought it might help if I told everyone more about myself!         The vet thinks I am about 6 years old. I spent most of my life trapped in a cage at a puppy mill, forced to breed repeatedly with no regard to my health or well-being. I never got to play, I never got to feel a loving touch or hear…
