With injuries to your dog's disks, remember that there are oftentimes options!

Owners need quick knowledge about the two treatments options available for a disc episode – Surgery or Meds+Rest. Good communication, understanding and decision making with a vet leads to the best outcome for a furry friend. Compare conservative and surgery treatments. https://dodgerslist.com/surgery-vs-conservative/

Due to unforeseen circumstances in his life, a young pup who we named Captain Bubba came to us in 2016. A gentler, sillier, and sweeter puppy we have not seen. He was adopted by a loving family and renamed Loui. He then spent many years receiving the love and care that every dog deserves. He was stubborn and playful and loyal to his core. He was treated for a thyroid issue years ago. A few years back, he developed a seizure disorder and has now earned his wings because the meds no longer were able to calm /control the episodes. His family says, "He was the goodest boy and we miss him," with which we wholeheartedly agree. You were so loved Loui. Every dog deserves a life like yours. Many blessings and comfort to his family. Kisses to your wet nose and belly rubs forever, baby boy.

Restful dreams to adopted alumni Sunday. She earned her wings yesterday at about 14 years of age. Neglected for the first 12 years of her life, she found bliss in the last 2. We've never met a happier girl. Everyone was a friend. People, please get your dogs fixed. Her mammary cancer was completely preventable and her loving mom would have loved more time with her. 2 years went by so quickly.

Until we meet again, Sunday.

Famous author E.B. White (He wrote Charlotte's Web and other great stories) once shared his thoughts on dachshunds. Enjoy!

"Being the owner of dachshunds, to me a book on dog discipline becomes a volume of inspired humor. Every sentence is a riot. Some day, if I ever get a chance, I shall write a book, or warning, on the character and temperament of the dachshund and why he can't be trained and shouldn't be. I would rather train a striped zebra to balance an Indian club than induce a dachshund to heed my slightest command. When I address Fred I never have to raise either my voice or my hopes. He even disobeys me when I instruct him in something he wants to do."

Pittsburgh news highlighted this case today. Thankfully, most of the dachshunds survived their ordeal.

"They were suffering from malnourishment, dental disease, matted fur, overgrown nails and eye infections, humane investigators said. The dogs are now being cared for at HARP's East Side shelter."

North Fayette police and humane investigators served a search warrant at the North Fayette home on Monday.

Laser light therapy, acupuncture, and electro-acupuncture can be very beneficial in assisting with re-establishment of nerve connections in the body. These therapies can aid in kick-starting the body to self-repair nerves. https://dodgerslist.com/acupuncture-laser-therapies/
Do you have any pictures of your dog doing acupuncture or laser therapies?

🛎⏰️🚨ALERT!!

We're calling upon the entire On My Way Home Rescue community to help bring Doc home. Missing in Las Vegas since May 29th, Doc could be anywhere by now, including out of state. There have been numerous sightings but nothing has led to his return so far. He may have even been picked up by someone who meant well and doesn't realize that he is a most beloved family member and emotional support animal. Will you please help? You can share, keep an eye out, print his flyer, and contact news agencies. The more the word is spread, the greater the odds of Doc returning home safely. Please help us for Doc's sake. Thank you.

Message from Doc's family:

"Please HELP! My sweet grandboy somehow got out from my daughter’s patio... at the 2900 LUX apartments. He’s a miniature dachshund “wiener dog”, sable in color (mixed brown/tan/black), long haired, brown eyes, approximately 9-10 lbs. Answers to Doc. He’s her service dog and I don’t know what she’ll do without him. Please reach out if you have him or see him.🙏🏻💔😭"

Congratulations to Ahonui on his adoption! This gentle dinosaur is living his best life already in his new kingdom. It isn't easy finding a home for a tortoise over 100 pounds. Patience is a must with placement, which is ironic because that is what Ahonui means in Hawaiian: patience!

Looking for his family! Louie is certain that someone will want to adopt him and make their family complete. He's about 9 pounds of sweet love. Playful, cuddly, smart, and always wanting to please. Great with other dogs. Mom was a Brussels griffon mix and dad was a chihuahua. Apply to adopt this handsome prince at https://www.onmywayhomerescue.com.

Previously placed, but Louie was returned because his adopted mom wouldn't give him more than a couple of weeks to settle into her unique routine that was a bit confusing.

Millie and Mollie are adopted and living their best lives. These southern belles have been patient - finding a home for a bonded pair of seniors takes longer - but it was worth it! Happy times ahead, sweet, "honeys."

We have a lovely update about Piper. After a long consultation and recommendations from Dan Rana of Canine Advanced Training Services of Las Vegas, Piper has been able to successfully reunite with her family. Behavior isn't always about the dogs. Most of the time, it is us as people who are unknowingly missing signs and not understanding what our animals are communicating. So many of us can benefit from assistance from a qualified animal behavioral trainer. We can't recommend Dan more highly and are so pleased to have this family able to reunite. Happy times ahead for sweet Piper and her whole family!
