🐾 Dog of the Day: Aces 🐾

Meet Aces, our grey and white pitbull gentleman who has completely mastered the art of sun tanning and cuddling! ☀️🛋️ This sweet, soft, and calm older man is the ultimate companion — gentle, affectionate, and always ready for a snuggle session.
Aces loves to lounge on the play equipment, basking in the sun with his besties Penelope and Junie Bee. Together, they make the most adorable trio you’ve ever seen! 💕 Whether it’s a lazy afternoon nap or a quiet cuddle, Aces is your guy.
Don’t be fooled by his chill vibes — when he gets excited, he breaks out the tippy-tappy toes and full-body wiggles that instantly bring a smile to everyone’s face! 😄 His calm presence and loving energy light up the whole place, and all the pups (and humans!) at K9 Coach adore him.
We love you, Aces! Thanks for being the heart and soul of the daycare today. 🐶💛

🐾💛 Pup Shoutout of the Week: ROY! 💛🐾
Today’s shoutout goes to our sweet boy Roy, a 2 year old English Cream Retriever who’s been part of our daycare family since he was just a pup! 🐶💕
Roy is the definition of a social butterfly—he’s made so many best friends during his time with us, including fellow English Creams Trey, Bertie, and Boone, as well as his lovely gal pals Penelope, Piper, and Livie. 🐾

This little bundle of joy is always wagging his tail for pool time, cuddles, chasing balls, and playing with every pup at camp. His kind heart and playful spirit brighten our days, and we’re so lucky to have watched him grow up surrounded by love and friendship. 🥹🫶

We hope this helps you get to know a little more about your K9 family—stay tuned for more shoutouts this week! 💦🫧🎾

Due to the events of the F3 tornado that hit the Valley View & Sanger, TX area, the Animal Hospital on Milam Road's wonderful staff has gone out into the community & rescued many fur babies and brought them back into the clinic for shelter and care.

There are many pups that they have under their care as well as that have needed treatment. One of their lovely guests is named Willow & was found on the side of the road by a wonderful human & she has a broken leg & pelvis that needs an important extensive surgery! Funds will go towards Willow's surgery, vaccinations, medications, & other treated injuries! They also have some pups that have found their owners but will be staying at the clinic at no cost due to their homes being destroyed or them being hospitalized themselves that funds will go towards.

We would love your help in raising money! These sweet babies have been through so much trauma already & we appreciate absolutely everything that this community has already done to help them! If you feel led to donate to the cause, please use this link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-tornadoaffected-dogs-in-sanger

In our commitment to being the provider of choice for pets and those who care for them (feel free to tweak), we believe that workplace wellbeing starts with ensuring our leaders have the training and resources to create cultures and practices of wellbeing in their pet and vet care centers.
