and you never ceased to stop rescuing animals and finding homes for them actually i have tucker and abby here and tucker in every came from jessie good love and ten years ago almost twelve wild how long eleven years ago pretty sizable breeder and i guess didn't want tucker any more so i thank her for that and thank you for that you're welcome just what's going on in the pet adoption field these days well we have had one heck of a year this year we had twelve puppies all told and we've had some adult dogs but most of them are small and that's unusual because it's usually the older dog that has been a bad in or somebody passes away i don't know if the family doesn't want the dog  or puppy mills give up the older dogs are done breeding but this short the long and short of this story was a lady called her sister was in trouble had a lot of dogs and she was on total overload she didn't know what to do they were inter breeding because nobody had been spayed or neutered and people kept tying dogs to her porch her fence or whatever so long long story short we said yes we'll we will help or so she gave us probably eight dogs to start with and i said i want the females first so that we can spayed them and you know clear all that up so i don't those dogs i think couple were just pregnant so they were able to take care of that at the vet and then what there were three or four that we actually birth the puppies but understand small dogs are very very hard to birth the pups and not all of them live all the time you know the strongest always survive so probably out of the ones that we did birth with did we figure we had three or four of them that we didn't and she gave us a couple more that she had already birth at her house to find them homes so the last two puppies went last week to a family they took the two cute buttons i'll tell you this little dog he is staying with kara and kara will tell you that story but i've had so many people call and say i just love that puppy that's just exactly what i want that is my puppy and i say well you have to fill out a verbal application we have to check your references we're going to do a home check oh but i want you to ship it to me now sorry why well you have to check the house to make sure that it is what they tell you it is we've been went to one locally here and we both walked out of there in fact i kind of gave her the high sign after we had talked everybody we saw what was going on they sent us a scathing e mail back i mean that e mail must have been a full page just like this of why they should have had that dog and why we were so bad and not giving that to him but we could see things right away that weren't going to work for this dog and they really weren't they wanted more or less a status symbol and that's what we're finding with the little dogs it's the in thing it's the vogue thing to have a little dog like that well little dogs require certain requirements because they are so little and they're fragile these are poodle and yorkies so you have learned bones you have  little dogs and like you said i don't normally get puppies i'll get older dogs like two and up and i just want guys adjust he doesn't discriminate i knew jesse she still came to my house and check it out right and then proceed to keep handing the dogs had he wanted them com but it's been a real challenge this year because of these little dogs you know but anyhow and storywise i did help the lady we fixed all the rest of the dogs and she got down to a number that she could handle and she might have a few more she's going to give us we don't know yet but for the most part we did take the dogs and found all terrific homes because you have to match a dog according to the living environment according to the family some dogs don't respond well with kids yes some  dogs some people already have maybe a cat and some dogs don't integrate well with the cats so you can't just hand them a rescue dogs because there's either going to be a problem that is maybe dissatisfaction or going to get the dog back in your goals to find a loving home for it not to have a right open door policy come in does come in swinging door in and out and we found out this year and one or two of our dogs we actually did take them back and either exchange them for another dog and even last evening we had a lady she had adopted maltese from us and the maltese had been in a foster home and she was doing quite well so the lady took her home and she said the dog just went to a corner and sat there she was just bummed up and we thought what's going on here so we had another dog t fostering and when i picked them up at the breeder who i work with and have worked with her for many many years she mentioned that she had two dogs that were sisters but she wasn't sure which were the sisters and i couldn't tell what the microchip numbers they were screwed up so anyhow kerry had some input into this and she said the lady's going to come and bring the dog we just adopted her to see we had two dogs at her house maybe that dog would like one of the other dogs and then she's ha to say you know what i bet you any money because this dog has been a little difficult and settling in that's the sister dog she said will know when she brings the other dog and sure enough when she brought the dog last evening they started to play like they knew each other and all that so we let her take her home a course on a trial basis this is all trial till we find out if it's going to work but i think it will and i think these dogs whether in fact they are sisters or not but they knew each other at the kennel and they were very comfortable with each other and they just like people they bond with another person or another dog and we do have that well i took zach and sorry for me if you mess they actually died this year yes together about six months apart so i got zack first and he was a horrendous dog he was terrible i mean i've never experienced a dog i had sac i remember and you almost got him back every day for like two weeks but his problem was you hadn't gotten zoe yet and then you had to take her to have or have or spayed and she was she was separated from him his whole personality changed once so he came right because that's all he knew and they were like in yang they sat together you know actually looking like  union and he was so distraught and so upset and afraid i'm sure yes because his sister wasn't there same people don't understand that emma was born just like people blond and just like you said they died within six months of each other you know so there is that connection there and when you try to find them the right home there are a lot of things you have to look for and you have to taken to consider all that type of thing and i will pre interview that person on the phone and then i say the foster mom have to talk to you and that's the breaker she didn't want to make her break that because she gets more in depth into what is happening at that home and she can pull stuff out of people you w very respectful of that but i usually give reasons and i'll try to explain to someone and maybe the animal you're playing for isn't the best choice but if we have something else last night they're open to talking about that well i remember as a kid close family friends had a farm and they had this beautiful could have the dog and longer so i wanted the dogs they would give me the dog and i said because this dog is used to running on acres your seven yards won't be won't be happy won't be well and i think they were actually right i was upset at the time i think they were actually right to the dogs accustomed so you so you have a big dog a big german shepherd you can't take the dogs in apartment expect the dog to be happy or a collie that used to herding sheep and doing what they do it's inbred in them you can't put them into a small yard backyard you know so so you kind of really have to investigate that and see what fits and where and how and you're really good at that i mean well wimp really had it this year because between the both of us were brought out things that a normal person even think about asking or seeing or even last and looking for especially the puppies because puppies are different they chew they get into trouble they want to play and if you don't give them something to occupy them and let them have fun as carol would say they get bored and they're going to get into trouble and then people say oh it peed on the floor or that's what a puppy does until you train it or it pooped on the floor there's always a reason but and then i get the older people through the call eighty years old that want to puppy understand what it's going to take to keep that puppy and then some of them live in high rises and that's a definite no because they're not going to take the dog out even that eighty year old person who wants a puppy you know ideally you want to live your dog correct and you know you could live to be a hundred who knows but the odds are against that a bit so it's what happens when you pass away and there you have this year old dog or this two year old dog and i said this whole life is in an uproar and i actually witnessed the older man i have got a dog headed for two years and i said he was very sickly that was the problem he had a lot of health issues and i said do you have arrangements that he had a not a mass of pop in and beautiful dog that's a very shy dog huge he died he made no arrangements so in his mind he was going to i think and never did it although he told me he did and so the community all gathered together a fine home and i'll be enough happy and she's running and that's great those around but the point is you have to look at that otherwise that's how jessie gets dogs she only passes away as the family doesn't want to be bothered you're absolutely hundred percent right so i know  you're very reluctant to to give someone the feel of someone that that's elderly a young puppy but there are ways there are older dogs that lose their home that are twelve thirteen and maybe only have two three four years of longevity left and that's a possible fit but you know what ed they don't want that because the dog is going to die and i say yes but you're going to die too we're all headed for the same direction it's just the timing but and i've actually told people that older people this dog is going to live ten more years do you think you're going to make it ten more years then the light bulb comes on you're right yeah because we  it everybody wants what they want now yeah and they want everything perfect as a train why isn't a house trained as a know all kind of tricks they should get a stuffed animal this is a living thing here you know just like you and i we've got to have interaction we have to be fed we have to be taken care of and people don't understand that they just want to hold it can't do that it's a living thing you know hold it when they want to hold it yeah but rescue a lot of people don't understand the word rescue and it's a lot of things to a lot of people but kara gave me this thing off the internet that was sent to the save a yorkie rescue and this gentleman actually founded a bulldog rescue in southern california and this is what how he defines rescue it's walking out of the animal shelter or a foster home with the animal that no one else wanted yeah bottom line and there are a lot of them problems and so this poor little dog was thrown out nobody wants it yeah and that's not an uncommon event no it is not uncommon it's getting to be very very common very common and with taken a lot of those ourselves and we've put a lot of money into those dogs and getting them right and finding my home it's your money just you're taking thing money that you could be going on vacation with and putting it with the animals so but you do a number of things to raise money to help that i know you collect cans aluminum cans and you're still doing that and they enjoy keep on the qui fellows every year and say that again that they enjoy coupon books and how do you sell those people in the area some of the businesses why handle them for me and sell them to their customers coming in and a lot of people now that i've been doing that for a number of years they know where the places are and i'll say are the books coming in yet and the people that work there say yep they're on their way and so they're kind of help offset but  you're open to having people donate money don't get a food and donate well not so much food because we use very special food we don't see we don't see junk because you can't do that as you've taught me very well and so we feed them good food we put them on supplements and we get them to the vet we have them spayed or neutered we see if there are any other problems like these mammary tumors and stuff you know that's always a question mark you know you never know what's going to happen there but we get them as good as we can get them and as you know with had other people on your show that the dogs have come in with a problem and they still have adopted a special needs you know you get those people that will work with a special needs dog and that's that's where it is but be a true rescue it's like this gentleman says you have to take the dog and nobody else wants and that's sadly a lot of dogs you know now i want kara to tell you a little bit of background about the dog she about two three minutes after he's born actually so i've known him all of his life he ended up with me because he was having low blood sugars which is very common in small dogs and a lot of times people don't realize they could be small puppies and if you're not feeding them enough times so he was a challenge he had to be fed every two hours around the clock that actually he was able to take food but i had to teach him how to eat he didn't win but he didn't really know how to eat realize he has some things going on just kind of odd got him right away back to the bat and in the term within about a week's time we all realize that he was deaf born deaf and he was born blind so he's a special needs guy he's very sweet he's very loving he's very smart savvy as i would call jesse and say a two month old puppy just outsmarted me this is not a good day but it happens all the time but he has done fabulous he went from one pound to he's about three and a half pounds now and much for gravity and he is adorable and doing fabulous he's compensated he's he the day that he went blind and i could see when i saw him wake up i saw look at iran and i could tell he was disoriented and so forth i put him down and he stood there and didn't want to walk but he put up his right paw and started to fill correct absolutely amazing yes that in so he was he was trying to determine where he was in in this room that he's custom the walking around and he's he's learned that you can't play ball with him because he can't see the ball coming towards him but he knows where the ball is he'll put his toys in a circle around him so he's one pod length that he can touch and figure out which two he wants to play with next and he plays softer with balls all through the house that he lives to watch how he's adapted and learn that has a puppy mentality and puppy energy and less to play and explore the world like a puppy is a bit challenging sometimes but he's doing fabulous and i would not trade him for the world so he's perfect the way he is but he is not up for adoption  yes and you found unconditional love absolutely with him like that looking nice guys are clear is that they are just looking at again is completely clear and it was a birth defect so it's not affecting the way his eyes look it's just he cannot when you've got the small dogs people don't realize low blood sugar they can die from low blood sugar they can have permanent brain damage those are my concerns with him when he first came to me because he was having low blood sugars he didn't know how to eat he hadn't had good nutrition his mom's nutrition wasn't as great and then he didn't really learn how to eat and so we had to teach him how to eat and now he does fabulous he had to be hand fed for a long time and now he's got no point that he's a big boy he thought bubbles with everybody else and he wants to be an adult so you have other dogs at home as well yes and the seniors that they and jesse of course he's been very busy with fosters in the last two years we've had i've had thirty nine of her foster cells are so i don't have them all home tach to the you get attached i cry when they leave but i always tell people if i wasn't if i didn't care about the animal i wouldn't cry and that's not a good thing i should be fostering so when you know i get text messages from some of the dogs back their new owners will text me or i'll get pictures and get updates and when you know they're doing great that's all you want for them the other dogs notice that there's somewhat of an issue with this one they're extra gentle with him they're extra caring they play very gently with him they say they have adapted again i integrated him over a period of time realizing what was going on that he was going to need to stay so to keep him safe and to make sure that everybody accepted him with it so that he's not in crates not left alone and when i'm out of the house he's in a small area and he has a little yorkie the place stays with him that was a mom who is a breeder dog and she stays in a car on clay and she has that motherly instinct with him i notice think and get on my knees and be up against a wall and figure out what he could get into so you had what i had you had a dog house a lot of people correct they allow me to reside with them and take care of the yes absolutely you and i were discussing horribly right before the show distance but also with the fosters i have in my home which is the nice part about it but basically one of the things reiki does it's just a way of channeling energy and giving a space with the animal can be that is a calm space for animals that have behavior issues it can help them to feel calm and safe in a lot of times when one jeffrey brings a foster in they're scared they don't know what's happened they've just lost their entire life they have no clue what's happening to them so i'll use it if they have any medical issues or anything your skin is any kind of medical issues you can do a laying of hands on just to try to give them the reiki energy to help their body try to heal from that you never know what you're going to get that's where the beauties of reiki it goes it's a telegin it does what it needs to do for that she says there's puppy i said we're in trouble so i called the breeder back up i said we think she's going to have puppies so i took her back to the breeder because we couldn't birth puppies the next day she had what five copies and then i was clueless and i kept telling jesse they were going to be two puppies and three ended up passing it didn't make it but it went to living yes and as we said thank goodness it was very i say very next day the dog got the puppy but she didn't appear pregnant yet really did not when you look at this animal she did not have any telltale signs that she was that far along in pregnancy but in using reiki i could sense the energy of life forms and i do that as well and it's amazing and i shock people because burn marks athlete's feet i don't always know what it is correct but i know there's a break in the flow of the energy exactly organs whatever and i to have done that and never seen the person exactly because it's just a universal energy that exist abilities but anybody can learn reiki and anybody absent reiki absolutely and so do you make a practice of reiki on every day every day on my own plus any fosters and if we have any we've had situations where we had animals going under surgery that i tried to work with them from a distance during the surgery to get information we've had lots of situation is so you take it to another level and you're an intuitive as well so you have the ability to communicate with animals yes and yes and i've told you some stories sometimes yes you have times brief example one when that was a biter and we knew that he was staying in rescue we have someone who was willing to keep in the works of the rescue and bottom line is we don't know why and i was able to tune in to a point that he showed me and i  could feel things in my body i was able to feel that he was being kicked and choked by a man when he was coming through a door which then gave us clues as to how to work to rehabilitate the able to make the best possible scenario for it all and that that helps heal absolutely and you know i wanted to make mention because this shows vastly coming to an end this is a wonderful product that i use and recommend all the time it's a oral health care product it's called that the sure it's by natural wonders look into it i just gave a bunch to just say it's wonderful all natural no chemicals no toxins it's for your teeth and mine well you tell your wife i use it all the time it's a pet it's a pet product but i'm not telling you to do that i also wanted to one dimension this this beautiful thing as you know as a dad is this kind of entertaining to me it's a toy that's presented by a pharmacy and a veterinarian as a gift for your dog the fine print on the back of this thing says warning this product may contain a chemical known to the state of california as a can sing cancer causing agent may cause birth defects and gastrointestinal discomfort yet these professional pharmacy and professional veterinarians are handing this junk out to your dogs you have to pay attention to what your supply for dogs because it can make them sick and of course this came from china i just want to mention that jessie kara thank you so much from coming on healthy pets and healthy owners keep doing that work the dogs lives are proving because of you too and i appreciate that just a thank you thank you
