"Get Adjusted and Help an Animal-No Bones About it!"

Well Spring has sprung! And with it comes our 10^th year of service to the Baldwin and Mobile County community. Since opening our doors in January 1999, we have experienced tremendous growth through which we have helped so many people with their health care needs. With the beginning of our 10^th year of service, also comes our time to show our appreciation to you, our patients. On May 26^th and 27^th, we held a PATIENT APPRECIATION DAY!!! Many came and joined us for the food and fun. For our PATIENT APPRECIATION DAY on May 26^th, all existing patients received a FREE adjustment all day!!! Then on May 27^th, any new patient such as family or friends were invited to received a FREE consultation and exam including x-ray’s to see if chiropractic could benefit them as well!!! We also gave free scoliosis screenings for children 14 and under. If you’re not aware of what scoliosis is then ask Dr. Pierce to explain to you how important it is to have your children checked. As always, there was plenty of food and goodies and gifts available, not to mention having a drawing for a number of fabulous prizes including a $200 gas card!

We asked that each patient bring in $5, $10, $20 or any other monetary donations that would be donated to The Haven for Animals (a no kill adoption guarantee animal shelter). We hope that this effort will be a blessing to animals in need. "The dogs and cats of the Haven are wagging their tails and purring today. A gift of $614 was presented to the no kill pet adoption organization today by Dr. Jason T. Pierce of Pierce Specific Chiropractic, P.C. in Daphne. On May 26^th , Dr. Jason T. Pierce had a Patient Appreciation Day and asked his patients to make a donation to the Haven. Everyone was very generous. Dr. Pierce and all of the staff at the Haven would like to thank all of those who gave to this worthy cause."

"Testimonials"

Oct. 14, 2008

Our new pet, Jax, was surrendered to The Haven because his aging owners could not keep him any longer. We are also ‘aging’ but wanted another dog because we have so loved the one we already had adopted from another shelter. Our dog “Louie” has adopted our new Haven dog, “Jax,” too! Both dogs are the same size but are completely different breeds. Louie is a Silky Terrier and Jax is a ShihTzu/Poodle mix. Each of our dogs weighs about 12 lbs., making it easy to lift, bathe and enjoy them both, equally. And we have appreciated getting young dogs that are already house trained, know basic commands like “sit” and “stay” and “com.”

Louie and Jax each seem to enjoy having another dog to run with and each has his own little carrier on the back of our Honda Gold Wing Trike! They love going for a ride down to the pier in Daphne or for a walk in the park.

These dogs are completely different personalities! We have given them nicknames to reflect their different styles –“ Lord Louie” and “SixPack Jax.” We like to spend quiet evenings, each with a dog on our laps. With so many dogs needing good homes, it would never occur to us to get a dog from any source than a rescue organization like The Haven.
