| Little Miss Molly |
Molly is a mini Australian Shepherd mix (well, we think anyway). We don't know her age, but we're guessing that she's between 6 and 8. She's VERY high energy, and loves any and all forms of play. She excels in agility, and is a very good "trick" dog as well. We found her in an almond orchard about 4 years ago. Someone had dumped her off and she was just sitting in a pile of branches and thorns. My dad went and picked her up, and we groomed all of the stickers and thorns out of her and fed her. She is an extremely sweet dog, but she has a HUGE fear of men. We are almost certain that she was abused and then abandoned. We took her in with the intent of finding her a new home. My dad said he would give me two weeks to find her a new home. Well, 2 weeks went by and nobody had claimed her or wanted to adopt her. So, one thing led to another...and now she's ours! She is such a good dog with our guide dog puppies, and is so much fun to take to the park, on hikes, to the beach, etc. She has an amazing recall and can be off leash anywhere without me having to worry about her. We house trained her in a day, and she learned how to walk on a leash in less than a week. She's so incredibly smart, and we can't see why someone would have just abandoned her. She is still very fearful of men, but has come to like all the men in our family. She's a big dog in a little body, and I am so glad that this little mutt chose us as her family :)
Wow! She's beautiful! Who could dump her?? :(

Rescue & Service & Therapy DOGs …
Are much, much more than a Wagging Tail.
A LOT of Time, Love, $$, Training, Food and Vet Bills all add up before a Service Dog can even begin “To provide Service”.
Unfortunately, the Top Breeds chosen for Service Dogs i.e. Labs, Retrievers, Germans are also Genetically Pre-Disposed to a lifetime disease, which is not deadly, but compromises not only their Health, their Quality of Life, but more importantly their ability to do what they have been Trained to DO !
This Disease is called ALLERGY.
In fact, 30-35% of all Canine suffer from Allergies. And after Flea allergy is ruled out, 85% of Allergy DOG’s suffer from the SAME Enviro Sources that We DO .. Namely Pollens, Mites & Mold Spores.
Regrettably, Allergies are very tenacious, almost Hard-Wired into the Dog’s Immune System and begin to manifest shortly AFTER all the Service Dog Training has taken place i.e. 10 mo – 3 Yr.
Unfortunately, Medicines can Only Mask Symptoms and Fool the body into “Believing” that there is “No Problem”. This unfortunately leaves the disease progression intact to continue / exacerbate unabated ..only to Re-emerge when the Med’s wear off .
A review of Allergy Treatment Options does show that Allergy Skin Testing, followed by Immuno-Allergy SHOTs are the Only Clinically proven therapy option that actually ReCaliberates the Immune system against this Immune System Mis-Wiring Action of Allergies …
BUT, as we ALL know, the Best Treatment in the world is rendered useless IF the “Patient / Dog / Pet Owner “ is” Non-Compliant” ..
And, as we all know, Allergy SHOTs are NOT very Pet or Pet Owner Friendly
To address this Disease BEFORE it has a chance to compromise a DOG’s Health & Future AND to make a Pet “Un-Friendly” Allergy CARE Option actually “Friendly”….
Veterinary Dermatologist Dr. Kristin Holm suggests that PET Owners “ Pre-Emptively” leverage the Adaptive ability of their Puppies Immune System by sublingually building Immune System Tolerance to Environmental Pollens, Mites & Mold Spores BEFORE allergies even have a chance to become entrenched.
And to achieve this Goal, Dr. Kristin has formulated 100% Natural > Doggy GOO.
While sounding Cute & Playful, Doggy GOO’s sublingual Methodology has been Clinically Shown to be EQUAL to Immuno-Allergy SHOTs in the Neutralization of Dust Mite Allergies in Dogs.
In fact, Doggy GOO goes much further in building Immune Health in your Dog, with the addition of beneficial Yeast Ingredients and Pre & Probiotics…
AND most importantly…
Doggy GOO builds Immune System Tolerance to 10 Pollens, 2 Mites & 3 Mold Allergy Sources.
So..
To keep your Service Dog focused on it’s Trained Mission in Life …
Don’t let the Progression of Allergy even Begin !
TODAY..
Pre-Emptively place your Best Friend on the Path to a Lifetime of Immune Health & Tolerance to Enviro Allergy Sources with Doggy GOO.
Sublingual Doggy GOO > It even Tastes like a Treat !
