Bob Root, Keys Founder and Chief Scientist
I awoke to some good news from Gabriela Castillo this morning. Gabi Wolf’s surgery went well although x-rays discovered a much more damage to her leg than expected. The good doctor took our personal guarantee that we would keep raising funds to pay for nursing Gabi back to help and did the surgery yesterday.
This has prompted us to offer that Keys will donate 10% of all KODA online store sales for the rest of May 2014 and all of June 2014 to Gabi’s cause.  Notice:  this is not some weasel worded statement of percentage of profits. It is 10% of all KODA online store sales for the next 45 days.
So, if you are not comfortable in donating money, we will do it for you. Buy KODA products until June 30 from our online store and 10% of the sales will go to Gabi.
This is not just a donation from Keys, but a challenge to other manufacturers, suppliers and retailers in the dog products industry.
Good on Ya HALO and Darwin for donating food for Gabi! Â Now step it up a notch!
If you do not have a dog or need KODA products at this time, take a few moments and spread the word.
Here is Gabriela’s note to me this morning. READ MORE HERE

*** Thank GOODNESS you are sending supplements. What we found out and saw (from photos of the surgery) of her bones was HORRIFIC. The starvation at the other vet gave her bone disease. She has another fracture on the same leg and she is going to need very special care. We need more funds so let me know how to set up your other ideas and what I need to do. I will be on the East Coast tonight.
 Doc will float the other costs for your ideas. We will get photos of you! I have not had a chance to update the KEY’s BLOG. But will tonight. Thank you!
We still need to raise funds! Please help us with her after care! She needs special attention. We found out through the surgery and x-rays that her bones are brittle and there is another fracture! She needs VERY special care and is staying with the vet until we can correct her unbalance of calcium and phosphorous. She needs special attention!
 Please do something good for yourself by helping us help Rain! How to donate is below in the link!
 The best way to donate is straight to the vet. That way YOU know where your money is going and we will make sure you get the tax write off form!

Beyond all this is a special thanks to our friend Gabriela Castillo for taking the time and having the heart to be Gabi Wolf’s advocate and mom.
Thank you SO much for this amazing support! I am in a total state of amazement at Key’s lightening fast response and help! Thank you! Rescue Me Inc and Co-Founder Joy Nadel is in the photos with me. Doc Z has been Joy’s vet for 15+ years. Thank goodness for that relationship so that we can get the help needed. When baby Gabi is able to leave the hospital Joy is going to be in charge of her rehabilitation. Rescue Me Inc has been around 26 years and has an amazing record. We are an all species rescue. Joy has raised wolves before so this pup will have round the clock quality educated care! I sit on the board of directors as well!
I suggest putting the canine on “Bone Tone” by Solaray. It is a natural product that is in capsules and you can get it from your local health food store. We had a dog that broke the front leg and the platelets would not heal. We sprinkled a few capsules in wet food and in two weeks the leg fused with no ill effects. It is also good for older dogs with hip dyspepsia.
I am so happy about all the messages I am getting from FB, Linked IN and email about people spreading the word about the KODA line! Excellent line that will also help Gabi! Thank you again!
Dear Dr. Raymond,
If you know them, maybe you could suggest they donate some for Gabi. Thanks for the comment and concern.
The KODA supplements arrived today! Photos to come! Thank you!
Just to address Dr. Raymond. Thank you for the recommends. At this point Gabi has terrible malnutrition with very thin bones. Blood work has been done to determine what has gone so wrong. Just a few days of a proper diet, needed calcium, K, D3 etc are changing things dramatically. We need to rebuild her digestion and bring balance to her system so we are doing what the vet says which includes using the products from Koda Care, a great diet of Darwin’s which is vet formulated raw food to get her back to health! If we need additional support we will look into your recommends! Thank you.
Today’s update from Joy Elyse Nadel on baby wolf pup Gabi! She is getting her sass back. She is eating, drinking and howling. We can’t ask for much more. Joy will be going on Saturday to visit her and take photos. She was not able to get there today because of all the free way closures and fires. Thank goodness Gabi is in a safe area NOT affected by fire and has air conditioning at the clinic. She is a good girl and happy. She remains the staff favorite! More to come!
Great comments on a photo posted on FB supporting RediCare for horses too! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152353903057936&set=a.10151888489937936.1073741854.558242935&type=1&theater
Headed out to see Wolf Pup Gabi today! Photos and video to come! Thank you again for your continued support!
