Grant Recipient:
Sensory Overload, Seizure Response, Brace
Dog Pebbles
Pebbles has been active for years
working by the side of Sally Taniguchi. Sally contacted us
in February 2012
about obtaining a
Working Dog Cancer Treatment Grant
for her
Golden.
Pebbles was diagnosed with
Stage III (multiple skin sites) Multifocal Mast Cell Tumors.
The tumors have been removed and she is currently receiving
the chemotherapy agent, Palladia.

relaying Sally's and Pebble's story.
As
Pebbles is now semi-retired, meet Kira (below), her support
doggie. Kira is still in training and at the two steps
forward one step backwards stage. Kira comes to all of
Pebbles' treatments.
Sally takes Pebbles with her, however, when it is believed
that Kira is not trained enough for the situation. Pebbles
is the first line of defense in noisy crowded situations.
Sally's mom, Sue, her number one advocate, keeps us updated
on Pebbles' progress at our
Foundation's Facebook page. You can follow below as
well.
