We’re Here to Listen
If you’ve lost a dog to a drug reaction, we understand. If you’re scared because you just learned about MDR1, we’ve been there. If you want to share your story to help others, we want to hear from you.
Share Your Story
Every story has the potential to save a dog’s life. If you’d like to share what happened to your dog, we’ll listen without judgment. Your experience matters, whether it happened last week or ten years ago.
Stories can be:
- Shared anonymously if you prefer
- As detailed or as brief as you’re comfortable with
- About loss, close calls, or successful advocacy
Ask Questions
We’re not veterinarians and we can’t give medical advice, but we can:

Response Time: I try to respond within 48 hours, but this is a volunteer effort alongside my rescue work. If you’re dealing with an urgent veterinary situation, please contact a veterinarian or emergency animal hospital immediately.
For Veterinary Professionals
If you’re a veterinarian interested in learning more about MDR1 or connecting your clients with our community, we welcome the conversation. We’re not here to criticize - we’re here to help bridge the knowledge gap that hurts both families and the vets who care for their animals.
For Researchers and Journalists
If you’re working on research or stories related to MDR1 drug sensitivity in dogs, we’re happy to connect you with families willing to share their experiences. These stories need to be told more widely.
This community is run by volunteers who’ve experienced the loss of dogs to drug reactions. We’re not a substitute for veterinary care, and nothing on this site should be taken as medical advice. When in doubt, always consult a veterinarian - just make sure they know about MDR1 first.
