Rescue pets come with special needs. They are usually stressed due to their loss or lack of a permanent home and are sometimes neglected. Sometimes with severe matting, skin issues such as fleas or other parasites and also simply very dirty from being loose or in an unkempt home.

They also can come with behavioural issues and need special and kind treatment.

Before and after of a severely neglected dog with matting and debris down to skin. He was much relieved afterwards and quickly found a new forever home!

This is Lesha my rescued German Shepherd. She had her jaw broken (probably from a kick) her tongue slit as it was in the way and her ears staple gunned to a wall where she tore herself free. Her teeth were filed and then she was abandoned at the local shelter. All before six months of age. I saw her when I was at the shelter and quickly took her home because she was so fearful she could not be adopted to a regular home and was ready to be transferred from a no-kill shelter to a kill shelter where her days would be numbered. Definitely not a dog that could be dropped off for a groom at a regular groom shop successfully.





Five years later she is re-socialized, friendly, loving and has even begun work as my service dog for mobility issues due to the fact that I also cope with disabilities. See article with photographs at http://www.stellasmagazine.com/a-groomer-with-a-disability-by-cass-lambert/




Lesha in her new role as service dog. She wears a harness with packs to store items likes keys, wallet etc. in. That also has a handle to help me be mobile on bad days. She is trained to lean into her harness to help balance me and to offer power in going up and down stairs etc. She takes her job very seriously so I limit the hours she works using a walker and cane when able to. With all of our recent snow and ice in another Ontario winter she is a lifesaver!!
