Let me share what I have learned over the last decade to help you make the best decisions as a dog parent weather you are adding a new member to your family, if you are already a dog parent and have a situation you are not sure how to proceed and need some guidance or options to consider, or a rescue fundraiser whose war-chest is running low on funding.
Adoption Options Counseling
Are you looking to adopt and totally confused by the differences between shelters and rescues? Can’t figure out why all the rescue people are so crazy and make the process so challenging? I can walk you through the pros and cons of adopting from a shelter or a rescue and I am those crazy rescue people and can explain the method to the madness and help you through the process to find your best match.
IVDD Options and Care
Are you facing IVDD and not sure where to turn or what your options are? I am not a vet but have been on the team that has vetted over 30 IVDD doxies and can walk you through options, therapies, and what to expect. I am also the Mom to an IVDD survivor who is both paralyzed and incontinent and can share the tricks of the trade, supplies, and processes I have developed to manage Sissy’s care.
Senior Care and Hospice Options
This topic is near and dear to my heart. Since my first days in rescue, seniors, and special needs dogs have been my focus. I have had the honor of working with many dogs as they they approach and ultimately cross the rainbow bridge. I have learned from each one and from many experts along the way. It can be a challenging time, but you don’t have to figure it out as you go.
Dog Lifestyle Consulting
Dogs are like kids….everyone has them, nobody has a manual on how to care for them! Do you have a question or concern about vetting, food, alternative therapies, training, care, how to manage a medical condition and life a normal life, or any other topic? Chances are I can help or know someone who can!
Rescue Fundraising Guidance
I have been DRSF’s sole fundraiser since our inception in 2009 and have thrown enough things against the social media and donor development walls to cover our annual budget each year totaling over $4,000,000 all as a non-paid volunteer with a full time corporate job. We have done it all – Facebook, Instagram, GoodWorld, Fundrazr, Calendars, Mail Campaigns, you name it – we’ve tried it. I know the panic that comes when opening those vet bills and I can share what we have learned to leave you some funding left over when everything is paid.

Services are billed at $30 per half hour, pro rated in 15 minute increments after the first half hour. Please via the “contact me” form to schedule a call and I look forward to talking with you!
