Rehab Your Rescue Behavior Services

This course has been on my radar for years… but life kept getting in the way.

2026 was the year and I have officially graduated and am a licensed family paw parent educator! Now my dog with baby programs will be even more robust!!

If you know anyone that is about to have a baby or is having any difficulties with toddlers and their dogs… I’d love to help them!

My specific area of focus will be behaviorally complex dogs and children. While not every dog can be safe with children, I can give management and training strategies to improve life while decisions are being made.

There is a notation that dogs will just adjust to the new baby in the house… and sometimes they do, but most of the time it is very stressful for the dogs (and the humans).

My pet parent, Dr. Meg and her hubby, worked hard to prep their loafs for the new addition. Including set ups for baby pictures. Dog and baby pics are adorable as long as we do them safely!

The corgis are tethered and Dr. Meg measured to make sure they couldn’t reach the Bebe.

I’m so proud of this crew and all the hard work. Do you have a baby on the way or know someone that does?! Send them my way and we will make sure their pup is ready to be a good big sibling!

Fiona’s vet is the incomparable, Dr. Meladee Farr at Cityvet Whiterock. Let me tell you about Dr. Farr…

I met Dr Farr in tragedy when I found Dutchess flat out in our foyer. It was 2019. We had just moved from Forney and we didn’t have a vet established. Kelly Gray, my friend and rescue partner, called Dr Farr and asked her to see us.

My first introduction to Dr Farr was me flying into her clinic in panic… she met me with calm grace. Her and her tech, Liz, treated Dutchess and I like we have been coming there for the last 15 yrs. We ultimately lost Dutch that day… but the impression that Dr Farr and her team left on us has been permanent.

Dr Farr treated Fiona from the first day we got her. Helped us through managing her hip dysplasia and IVDD, treated her heart worms.

She helped us through almost losing her to Addison Crisis (which she diagnosed) and stabilizing her. Even reaching out to us to make sure that Fiona was doing okay while Dr. Farr had her own health stuff going on.

When we walked into to the clinic in Jan to discuss Fiona’s pain management… we didn’t know what to do. She was frank with us and said that it is okay to let her go at the top of her health and not wait till she was a shell of herself.

We moved Fiona to palliative care that day. But knew the one thing we wanted to do was take Fiona to the beach. We needed more time. A friend told us to try a certain med… we called Dr Farr. She researched, talked to colleagues and set a treatment plan for us. She even ordered the med in for us so we could stay at our home clinic.

Then we set a date. And I had the wild idea of letting Fiona go on the beach in Galveston. But there is no way I can let just anyone guide Fi out of this life… so I asked Dr Farr if she would join us. She said yes. She joined us on that beautiful spring day on the beach and laid our girl to rest.

Vet med is a thankless job. It is filled with distain and hatred. But Dr Farr is a bright shining beacon… and I’m so very blessed to call her my vet, my colleague and my friend.

Thank you will never ever be enough. For all you have done for our animals, the clients I send you and all of your patients.
