Yesterday, you saw Divisha post about the completion of her microchipping project. As her mom, I just wanted to share a little bit of what was happening behind the scenes, because while she shared the outcome, there’s always so much more to the journey.

Back in January, she kicked off with a project plan with spreadsheet, timeline and steps. She had a shelter in mind that she “assumed” would come on board, based on her past work with them. She reached out confidently but it didn’t go as expected. Let’s just say it didn’t work out, she had to rethink her plan.

I saw her struggling a bit. We discussed and she made a list of other shelters and stores she had collaborated with before and began reaching out. Some didn’t respond and some responded with a polite “no” with valid reasons. Sylvia from Juno’s Den explored opportunities, James from Bella’s Voice immediately agreed for the location and connected her with the microchipping partner. But that organization wasn’t responding.

Then she worked with the amazing team of Everett Animal Shelter but unforunately the turnout was poor for a variety of possible reasons like a bad accident on I-5 and the detour was taking triple the usual time and apparently there was a famous dog event Poochella in Marysville at the same time etc. So even though they planned everything so well, it did not work out. So she again had to explore ways and finally her new connection with the Rainier Anjmal Fund worked out very well. In the process she learned about many new organizations doing great work!

And while I was there offering suggestions and encouragement, I mostly stayed in the background watching how things unfolded. It was eye-opening for her. She’s young, passionate, and you all have been so supportive of her journey. But this experience taught her that the world doesn’t always work the way we expect. Nothing usually comes easy in the real world.

Sometimes, age and good intentions aren’t enough. Priorities differ. People and organizations are busy. Even with a grant in hand, not everything aligns perfectly. And that’s okay.

She learned to accept a “no,” to face redirections, and to keep moving forward. These lessons about resilience, adaptability, and respect are just as valuable as the project itself.

Thank you to everyone who responded to her outreach whether yes or no. Every response shaped her growth in some way. And thank you, as always, for the unwavering love and support you show her. ❤️

I am happy to share that I have successfully completed the microchipping project as a grant awardee of program by . Jane Goodall has been my idol since my childhood from the time I read about her in a book and became a member of . Receiving this grant is very special for me and even more special is the work I was able to do with the grant money.

I was able to microchip 68 dogs for free which usually takes ~$50 for a pup at a vet clinic in our area.

I completed the project in 2 events:

1. The first event was on June 7th . We were able to microchip 8 dogs. Thanks to Lindsay and James, their volunteers, and which we couldn’t have done without the amazing help of. I also took the opportunity to involve other kids by promoting the event in my school and outside and we had three kids join me at the event and volunteer.
We had a lower turnout than expected, so I had the opportunity to partner with another organization.

2. The second event was on June 20th at Bothell Pet Fair in in partnership with . It is an organization which works to ensure veterinary care is accessible to everyone in the west Washington area. We were able to microchip 60 dogs. Thank you to Virginia from RAF and Officer Kristi Boucher of Bothell Police Department for the opportunity.

My goal is to help reunite lost dogs with their families so that they don’t land up in the shelters. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), lost dogs with microchips are returned to their owners at a rate of 52.2%, compared with just 21.9% for those without. I never want a dog to get lost and never find their way back to their families, therefore the project is very close to my heart and I’ll lok forward to more opportunities to be able to continue this work.

We’ve got something very special to share with you today… our new mascot has officially joined the Bow-Bow Ties family! 💛This sweet little pup isn’t just a cute character… it’s a symbol of everything we believe in: helping rescue dogs feel seen, loved, and adoption-ready with our bow tie.

The idea for a mascot came during one of our recent branding brainstorming sessions, she pointed out that something was missing. “We need a mascot,” she said.

That’s when we remembered a sketch drawn last summer by her cousin, a young artist who, in a spontaneous moment of love and support, created this adorable image of how she imagined Bow-Bow Ties should be represented. A little mutt with big heart, proudly wearing one of our handmade bow ties. 🐾 It was perfect!

To celebrate, we’ve created mascot stickers as our first branded product. But we need your help with one more thing…We’ve got three names picked out for our mascot, and we can’t decide! Vote by commenting and help us choose the name that will stick. The poll closes June 30, so cast your vote soon!💬

OPTIONS:
A: Bobby
B. Bowie
C. Murphy.

Tell us what you think of our new mascot. Thank you for being part of our journey. 💕

Floored!!! 😀

Our table broke at the time of uploading the supplies in the car and we had no time to fix it. While we panicked but Divisha was calm and came up with this workaround till we fixed it. Phew!

So far it has been working well! Pups are not able to resist our bow ties especially our toy model Taffy! 😁😍

Happening tomorrow, 6/22. We will be there and so will many other young entrepreneurs and performers! Join us!

Xanthi is so very ready for her forever home! Adopt. Share. Donate to Juno's Den 🙏

I just love this little pocket cattle dog Xanthi. She is another sweet soul who has been waiting for her forever family for a very long time. At least she has a wonderful foster mom who brings her to High Rock Meadow and lots of other fun places. How cute is she?! Contact Juno's Den if interested in learning more about this cutie.
