Nikki here, a new year brings re-evaluation and change! In 2022, I am choosing to do one day a month as a “pay what you can” day for current clients. All monies coming in from that day will be donated to rescues who take in those small, misunderstood animals. I’m doing this for two reasons:
1.) As prices rise, I understand paying for professional services, such as physical rehab, can be very difficult. This is the reality for many people, but especially for those without insurance coverage. I care deeply about trying to meet the needs of my client-base while still running a sustainable business. So, I’ve decided to offer this once a month, “pay what you can” option as our prices increase in January, 2022.
2.) Many people in my life are aware that I had a bunny named Bones. I found him outside at about 4 months old, starving (skin & bones), covered in mites, teeth overgrown and growing into his face, with infections everywhere. Long and wonderful story short, that bunny gave me 11.5 years of love, support, and laughter. And not only me, but many of you as well!

My focus rescue is Popcorns and Binkies Rescue Haven for all the hard work they do taking in and caring for these little guys. Additional donations will go to the Humane Society and any other rescue I hear about that takes in small animals.
So here’s to taking care of each other, both big and small, very small.
