💜 Happy 14th birthday to my sweet, old girl Kiara! 💜
This is the first birthday she’s celebrating without her sister Sarabi and I know she misses her just as much as I do. The last few months have been rough, but we’ve been taking care of each other since Sarabi passed on Thanksgiving day.

From the day I brought her home til now, Kiara has always been an old soul with a sweet, worried face. She has supported me through every up and down for the past 14 years. She welcomed any changes I threw her way including multiple moves, different dogs in and out of the house, and even a baby. She and Sarabi are the face of my company and I’m beyond thankful for every moment I get to spend with her.

Happy birthday my beautiful girl!

Last chance!

Last call for Lights for Lions! Drop off your old or broken holiday lights at Audubon Zoo until January 13, 2025, and we'll recycle them for you. Every string of lights you donate helps raise funds for the Lion Recovery Fund, which works to protect lions and their wild habitats. 🦁 ♻️ 💡

Thanks to your incredible support, we saved over 1,533 pounds of lights from going into landfills in 2024. Let's make this year's collection the best one yet!

Don't forget to bring all your unusable holiday lights to Audubon Zoo for our Lights for Lions conservative initiative! 🦁 ♻️ 💡

Just look for the Lights for Lions donation box outside of the front gates at the Zoo through Jan. 13. Please do not add bags or boxes in the recycle box—only string lights!

I’m excited to say I am officially a Professional Canine Behavior Consultant (PCBC) through the Pet Professional Accreditation Board! I spent the last year studying and completing the necessary requirements to demonstrate my competency and achieve this accreditation. Doing all of this while pregnant and then with a newborn wasn’t easy and I’m incredibly proud of myself. I chose the Pet Professional Accreditation Board because of their unwavering belief that there is absolutely NO place for shock, choke, prong, pain, force, or fear in pet training and behavior practices - something I firmly agree with. My goal is to empower dogs and to do so through humane practices. I also chose this particular accreditation because it is a perfect bridge between my behavior analysis certification and my dog training certification. If you didn’t know, I have a Masters in Applied Behavior Analysis and am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I’m thankful that my experiences have led me to dog training and that I’m even more equipped now to help dogs and their families with behavioral modification.
