Here is a picture of our Sweet Angel, Shelby.

She is a kind and gentle dog that is now 10 years old. 

She visits Harper Woods Veterinary Hospital.

Their friendly atmosphere makes a visit to the

vet a pleasant experience.

"Little Bear" is the beautiful blue fawn color,

and "Deja" is red.  These two best

buddies love to snuggle up on a soft

quilt any chance they get.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When not snuggled up on their quilt, Little Bear & Deja like to take their place on the family sofa including their own fancy pillow!  Both Deja and Bear are patients of Dr. Balaj, but sometimes also visit Dr. Brewster and Dr. Rajewski at Harper Woods Veterinary Hospital.

 

 

Our thanks to Mike & Julie for these great pictures!

Rosey, formally “Westrick's Wild Irish Rose”, is a Treeing Walker Coonhound who will be ten years old on St. Patrick's Day.  She loves to run and bark in the yard which backs up to a nature preserve where there are a lot of wild critters to keep her occupied.  Rosey is a wonderful companion to her “Mom” and her housemate, a cat named “Abby”.  Rosey’s “Mom” has been a client of Harper Woods Veterinary Hospital for at least 30 years. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like many of us, Rosey has finally reached the age, that when she wants to watch television, she has to put on her glasses!

 

 

Our thanks to Patricia Watson for these wonderful pictures!

Here are “Curica” (white) and “Plava” (blue). 

Curica just turned 12 and Plava is 7.

 

 

 

 

 

Plava could play the lead character on "To Catch a Thief" . . . she could snitch your piece of bread right from your plate before you ever knew it, but she could also do the same with a kiss on your face!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Curica is the angel of all four legged friends . . . and has the wisdom of an ancient god.

She is more like the “Boss” of the house.  Life with these two girls is most complete!

Our thanks to DK for these terrific pictures !

Hi!  My name is Toby, and I am the newest

member of my "forever family".

 

I came from the Anti-Cruelty Association because

I was not being treated as I should have been.

I just recently saw Dr. Balaj at Harper Woods

Veterinary Hospital, and he says I'm in pretty good

shape considering what I went through in my previous

life.  I really like him a lot!  Now I enjoy every day

"on the farm" !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here I am with my brothers and sisters,

safe at home with my loving Mom,

Peg Paquette.

Independence Mae or "Indy" as she is known is a 3-year old that her parents got from German Shepherd Rescue.  Indy was a little too friendly to become a Guide Dog, so she had to drop our of Leader Dog School.  She loves going to visit Dr. Larry Rajewski at Harper Woods Veterinary Hospital.  Dr. Larry took care of Indy's sister, "Trek", (and Indy's human family) for nine years through numerous health problems.  Dr. Larry is as happy as Indy's entire family at how healthy she is.  Her sister, "Dayze", who is from the Macomb County Animal Shelter, also loves going to see Dr. Larry and Dr. Balaj, plus all the great ladies that work in the reception area at Harper Woods.  Breeders sell all the dogs they breed - rescued dogs need help finding good homes so much more, and they are AWESOME dogs!

 

Our special thanks to Cindy Swica for this great photo!

Hi again!  I'm "Sera" and you first met me when

I was 4 months old. (Check out my baby pictures

below!) I'm all grown up now and ready to go

into "Headquarters" for training to

be a "Paws with a Cause" service dog. 

 

Thank you Dr. Balaj, at Harper Woods Veterinary

 Hospital, for taking such good care of me. 

I'll miss my Dad and Mom, but I know I'll be

helping someone special real soon!

 

 

Welcome to Animal Clinic Del Rancho

My name is "Sera" and I like to visit my favorite friends at

Harper Woods Veterinary Hospital, especially Dr. Balaj. 

I am a 4-month old Black Lab foster puppy for "Paws with a Cause". 

I live with my chow sister "Ruby" and my Yorkie brother,

"Rocky" in Lenox Township, and they also see Dr. Balaj. 

 

 

I hope to become a service/assistance dog when I am big and strong. 

I love to play, eat and play some more.  I think I make my foster

parents, Rick and Peg, very tired with my playing.

Thank you Dr. Balaj for making it fun to visit the doctor!

 

 

 Here I am resting on my sister, "Ruby",

 

     and this is my brother, "Rocky"  

 

They're both pretty cute too!

Elliot is the black and white cat posing

for his close-up, and Nipsey is the orange

cat taking it easy on the sofa.

They see Dr. Balaj and Dr. Katlein.  Both girls are beautiful, happy and healthy.  They love playing in the mud, going for walks, wrestling with each other and swimming.  They also love to make their Mom, Jamie Ferguson,  laugh every day!

I love going to Harper Woods Veterinary Hospital

"Bonnie & Clyde" were "rescued" as they were being

advertised as free kittens on a roadside hand-written sign. 

They were 6 weeks old then and are now 8 years old. 

They are brother and sister and greatly enjoy each other's

 company.  They are often seen around the house lying

identically for a snooze.  They also enjoy swatting at their

big brother "Sugar"s" tail and bird watching

out the patio doorwall. 

 

 

"Bonnie" is the black & white cat behind

"Clyde" who is tiger striped.

 

Welcome to Animal Clinic Del Rancho

"Sugar" is the big brother to Bonnie and Clyde.

Tiffanie & Ken resuced "Sugar" from someone who

could not take care of him.  They have had him for

over 7 years, which makes him about

10 years old now. 

 

 

 

 

"Sugar" is very well mannered and sensitive,

loves walks in the park, sleeping on freshly

laundered bedding, and he especially

likes eating bananas!

 

Bonnie, Clyde & Sugar are all taken care of by

Dr. Katlein and the crew of Harper Woods

Veterinary Hospital.

Everyone holds me and tells

My name is just plain "Toad", but I wanted to

say that my brother and sister who are dogs,

just love going to visit their Vet, Dr. Larry Rajewski. 

As for myself, I've never had to go to the doctor. 

However, if I did need to go, I know I would be safe in

the hands of the Harper Woods Veterinarians.

 

"Toad's" brother and sister are "Casey" and

"Tori" pictured above, and their Mom is Linda Young.
