On a Mission: Helping Dog Owners be Proactive in their pet’s care, an interview with Dr. Julie Buzby
Dr. Julie Buzby knew she wanted to be a veterinarian from age three. She knew it was her calling. Fast forward to her senior year in veterinary school when she was in the clinic seeing cases and it hit her - being a veterinarian is just as much about caring for and helping people as it is about caring for and helping animals. As she puts it, “there’s always somebody at the other end of the leash.”
Carole King
Carole King was rescued by Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue from a high-kill shelter in Georgia. From the minute they met her, they knew she was a special, older lady, and she needed someone to take the time to get to know her. Carole King was heartworm positive and her eyes were a mess. But Badass was not deterred by her medical needs, thanks to a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization.
