For The Love of Dog.

Jonathan (known to clients and colleagues as Dr. Fradkin) and I met 14 years ago. I was 40. After focusing my life completely on my dog, working full time and building(and later selling) a dog daycare/boarding facility in Silicon Valley, I finally made time for love.  I I saw a picture of Jonathan with his white veterinarian coat and I knew I had to meet him. Jonathan came to our first coffee date with his beautiful, gentle Labrador, Chestnut in tow, and the rest is history.

*NOTE: We were so busy playing with our dogs that we never took a photo with all 4 of us. They are below.

Maximillian was the center of my world for 14 wonderful years, and after he passed away just 10 days after his diagnosis, I wasn't able to function. We created a non-profit in Max's honor to help save other loved pets in a health crisis when their families didn't have enough money to afford treatment. Saving other dogs in Max's and Chestnut's memories has been incredibly rewarding. After 6 years,Maxs Helping Paws has given away more than $1M and helped more than 1700 pets receive treatment.
