Last weekend, RENLY was reunited with her foster family. Ron and Marcia Wynsma invited us to their home where RENLY saw her foster siblings and former PAWS With a Cause dogs STRYKER and ARCHIE, and GINGER, their current foster puppy.
All pups had a fun afternoon of running, chasing, playing with toys, and just wearing each other out.
The Wynsma family raised RENLY from the time she was a puppy (just after she was weaned) until she was over one year old. We are forever grateful for the time, energy, patience, and heart/soul they gave to RENLY. Thank you, Ron and Marcia – your efforts have already made a difference in so many of our patient’s lives.
Meet RENLY! She's a 2-year-old black lab from PAWS With A Cause. She's a service dog, like a guide dog or mobility assistance dog. A facility dog's job is to help make people feel safe and confident. She's finished her first two years of training and now has to learn the specifics of our office and patients.
She'll start working with patients in January. We hope our patients will look forward to their appointments and seeing their furry friend.
It takes a lot to raise and train a facility dog. Thousands of hours of volunteers' time... and $6,000 up-front and $2,500 each year after that. Caring for patients with disabilities is our passion. We'd really appreciate any help you can give!
She's already getting fan mail and gifts mailed to the office. The mail carrier comes in even if she doesn't have anything just for us.
Let's face it, she's so popular that we might as well dedicate a page to her.

She has twenty-five years of clinical experience with cognitive, behavioral, and communications disorders.
Dr Rush has co-authored two books: The Source for Traumatic Brain Injury in Children & Adolescents (ISBN-13: 978-0760607466) and The Source for PDD: Assessment and Intervention (ISBN-13: 978-0760603789).
Rush Pediatric Neuropsychology shares an office with Grand River Rehabilitation. We are therefore also able to offer comprehensive medical management for children with cognitive disabilities and developmental disorders.
