Penney is here with us for a few days and always wants to climb to the very tippy top, trying to get a good view over the fence! 😄

Many don’t know this information! Remember every second matters during a choking incident.
1. Place the dog on their back. Brace the back against the floor. Straddle the dog while adjusting yourself based on the size of the dog. Position the head in “in-line position” with the airway parallel to the floor.
2. Make an open diamond shape with your hands. Place your thumbs on either side of the trachea below the ball or object. Grip the “V” of the jaw using lip/cheek to protect fingers.
3. Push with a J-stroke down and out against the ball until it ejects from the mouth.
Both this method and the Heimlich method has been proven to work in these scenarios so don’t hesitate to save your dog.

Beautiful Daisy always sits so pretty for her photos even if she’s not a big fan of having her bandana on her head. 🥰

UPDATE! A rescue decided to take Dempsey and he made the transfer today. We’re sad to see him go but also happy he was rescued!!

Everyone meet Dempsey! He’s a 12-year old beagle who was picked up as a stray on White Horse Rd and wound up at Greenville County Animal Care. Dempsey is about 20 lbs overweight and is on a diet & exercise program to lose that weight and get healthy! Some of you may be familiar with Rob Dempsey and his ministry at HIS Radio along with Rob’s Big Losers. Rob passed away unexpectedly last year, and we have named Dempsey in memory of him and his health journey that he shared with others. Dempsey is available for adoption - so be sure to share this with the beagle lovers in your life. Dempsey deserves a second chance!
