It's incredibly tough for Latoya, who has been displaced from her family in California, especially because she's also trying to ensure her service animal is well cared for. Her dog is not just a pet, but a vital companion for her well-being, both in the shelter and as she transitions out. It's truly concerning that her service animal hasn't received essential grooming—a nail clipping and bath—or yearly shots in 18 months. Latoya's dedication to her dog's health, despite her own challenging circumstances, highlights the deep bond they share and the critical role her service animal plays in her life. Latoya is reaching out to the Richmond community for support.
