Our tiny little 3.9-pound Croquetita suffers from seizures. 🥺🐾

Since arriving at our rescue almost two years ago, he has been under the care of a neurologist and takes daily seizure medication — medication he will need for the rest of his life. He sees his neurologist @southeastveterinaryneurology every six months for follow-ups, and today was his six-month checkup. ❤️

Thankfully, his seizures have been very well controlled. Over the past year, he’s only had about three episodes. Of course, we wish that number were zero, but we are incredibly grateful that he is stable and doing so well.

Croquetita is available for adoption, but when it comes to our seniors and medical cases, finding the right home is especially important. His medication must be given on time, every eight hours, so he needs an extremely responsible family who understands the commitment and will stay on top of his medication schedule and veterinary care.

Croquetita is just one of the many dogs in our rescue who depend on daily medications and ongoing medical care for life. Seniors, special-needs dogs, and medical cases are a huge part of what we do — and we will continue showing up for them for as long as they need us. 🐾❤️

Some dogs keep getting passed from one person to another, never really having a place to call home. That was Didi’s reality. 😓

She was found about two years ago by a woman who cared for her, but was never really her dog. At one point, she was left with another person for months, then brought back… and eventually surrendered to Picolinis.

Now, around six years old, Didi is severely underweight, her nails are overgrown, she appears to have a leg injury, and she needs dental care. Tomorrow we start a full evaluation — bloodwork, heartworm and parasite testing, deworming, vaccines, and X-rays — to find out exactly what she needs. Depending on what her X-rays show, we’ll know how to move forward with treatment for her leg.

But first and foremost, Didi just needs to feel safe, have a full belly, and know she’s loved.

We’ve taken in several medical cases recently, and our vet bills keep growing. We need our community beside us to help Didi.

If you can donate toward her care, every dollar helps. If you can’t, please share — your share could put Didi in front of the person who helps her heal. Thank you 🙏🏼🐾 𝗪𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲:

A decades-old population of vervet monkeys living near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport could become the focus of an effort to change how Florida classifies the animals, potentially allowing injured monkeys to be treated and returned to the wild. The monkeys have lived in mangroves near the airport for nearly 80 years after escaping from a South Florida medical testing lab and zoo in the 1940s. Missy Williams, who runs the Dania Beach monkey sanctuary, is asking whether the longtime residents should be reclassified as native to Florida.

According to Williams, just under three dozen vervet monkeys remain in the area, and the population is shrinking with no notable damage to the surrounding ecosystem. But Ron Magill of the Zoo Miami Foundation strongly opposes the idea, warning that reclassifying the monkeys could open a “Pandora’s box” and lead to disease and other unforeseen effects.

Parents deserve to be heard when decisions are being made, not pushed to the sidelines. Tomorrow, I will be opposing the administration’s push to restrict public participation, and I encourage everyone who values public participation to make their voice heard.

I’m calling for a full stop on the MagicSchool AI rollout.

Student privacy. Cybersecurity. Critical thinking. Teacher autonomy.

Too many unanswered questions. Too much at stake!

The Broward Tax Collector’s office is withholding more than $5.5 million in voter-approved funds meant for classrooms, teachers, student services, and school safety.

We’ve taken action.

I will continue fighting for every dollar Broward students deserve!

The Tax Collector’s Office can defend withholding $5.5 million from Broward classrooms. I’ll defend Broward students and teachers every single time. Statement below.

South Florida travelers and experts are reacting to the possibility that Spirit Airlines could receive a federal bailout of up to $500 million, as the struggling budget carrier faces an uncertain future. Some passengers say they welcome the idea if it helps keep fares low, noting the airline’s role in offering cheaper flights, especially for short trips. Travel experts say the potential bailout could benefit consumers by keeping a low-cost competitor in the market, though they caution it may not be a great deal for taxpayers.
