Antoinestale

Antoinestale Antoine and his specially-abled pack face adversity with incredible resiliency and dogged determination. His book and stuffie are available in link below.

Follow along for their healing journeys, adventures about the farm, and pack pet therapy visits. Antoine’s journey is one of love, determination and friendship. Born with rigid paralysis of his hind legs—a complication of the infection Neospora, Antoine was rescued by Janet Curran, a longtime animal advocate in Kansas, and brought to Colorado State University for treatment. His subsequent rehabili

tation led him to Connie Fredman’s Canine Health Resort in Colorado where he learned to walk again. Now his life is now filled with playful days, continued rehabilition and giving back to others as therapy dog.

Minnie is loving on her big brother, Ash and who can blame her? He’s a real showstopper!



Video description: Ash is a five-year-old Belgian Tervuren playing with one- year-old Minnie kitty. Ash found his way here after his previous owners didn't treat him for a calcium deficiency and Connie fostered him through his medical treatment for his breeder. Ash is a show quality Tervuren and had actually won in competitions for his breed. After his condition was remedied his breeder felt this was a better environment for an active dog like Ash. Connie agreed and so we are fortunate to have this beauty as part of our family.

Deanna assesses Antoine and finds his muscles a bit looser than usual and as always, Minnie buts her head in to survey the situation.



Video description: Antoine is a 14 year-old Siberian husky that was born with a parasite which left deformities to his hind legs. Antoine also had two cervical spine disk surgeries in more recent years. His lifelong physical therapist, Deanna takes some time assessing his overall orthopedic status and then goes to work with manual therapies and laser treatment to loosen muscles and create great range of motion. Antoine enjoys a lick mat with frozen beef pate and a Kong stuffed with peanut butter cookies.

Hello, everybodeeeeeeee! It’s me, Grover. The newest addition to the pack!

Grover was found dodging cars and good samaritans in front of our house last December. When Connie opened the gait to our yard he ran right in like he was home. Grover was microchipped and it showed that he once belonged to a local rescue. The rescue reached out to his owner, who could no longer take care of him, so Connie agreed to foster him. Like our matriarch Axel, who passed last October, Grover is a German wired hair pointer (GWP). GWPs are known for their hunting, tracking and retrieving skills. The only interest in him were people looking to adopt a hunting dog , but Grover has no interest in such activities. So after a few months Connie made the decision to adopt him. He’s a super fun, active and bendy fellow that is as sweet as can be. Welcome home Grover!
