Our Special Needs Angels
Grant and Gary
Grant and Gary are the best of friends and very sweet. They take a while to warm up to people though which makes it a little harder to find the perfect parents who will love them as they are. They are certainly very handsome boys!
Angel Number 2
Dominique
Dommie is just a little opinionated but a real character. Please is there room for the queen in your castle.
Angel #3
Bean
Poor Bean has had a hard time since his Mom died unexpectedly last August. All his brothers and sisters have found their new forever homes and he is still with us. He loves affection but can get easily overstimulated and then gets snotty. He just needs a quieter home where people will understand his quirks and enjoy his awesome moments.

Holistic Healthcare
Diet
First and foremost, we all need to eat well. No fast food especially for our animal friends. I recommend grain free for pets and plenty of fresh fruits and veggies for 2 and 4 footed creatures. Read your labels! Supplementation for specific health challenges can be very helpful as well.
Veterinary Care
Having a healthcare provider, either a physician or a veterinarian who will listen to you is a must. Do your due diligence on any health issue and ask questions. Consider adding chiropractic care, acupuncture or homeopathy to the mix.
Essential Oils
After 20 years of incorporating therapeutic grade essential oils into my life, I can not imagine going without. Whether they are used for alleviating signs of discomfort, inhaling in times of stress or just using non toxic products in the home and yard, everyone benefits. I only use Young Living essential oils due to their unquestioned quality and purity. We also have regular classes in their uses with any purchases going as a fundraiser for Fur Keeps.
CBD
All the buzz lately around marijuana and it's uses medically can be quite confusiing but really remarkable studies have been done in humans and animals. Pain, anxiety, seizures, cancer and so much more are all said to be addressed in some way with oral use of CBD. Topical products can be fantastic as well for both discomfort and dependiing on product line, skincare for that glowing youthful look. Not a bad thing to add to the arsenal in the family medicine cabinet!
Self Care
As pet parents all the responsibility of our animal families health and happiness comes to us. Find a holistic vet in Chicagoland to start your education. But if we do not take time to be aware of our health and happiness, that job is so much harder. We all deserve a good life so go out for a walk in nature, take a yoga class, enjoy the energy of different crystals, diffuse some essential oils, enjoy the company of friends, volunteer at an animal rescue in Chicagoland or wherever, whatever improves your quality of life will help all the pets as well your outlook.
