Building a canine stroke resource hub for veterinary professionals, researchers, and owners. Looking for people who've felt the gap.

My dog Finley has had three strokes since August. The information available to us has been scattered, inconsistent, and rarely written in a way owners can actually use in the middle of a crisis. That experience is what led me here.

I'm a vet tech with over ten years of clinical experience, and I'm building The Finley Initiative (finleyinitiative.org), a canine stroke resource hub under The Canine Stroke Foundation (caninestroke.org), currently working through the 501(c)(3) process. The goal is a structured, literature-backed reference that serves veterinary professionals and researchers directly, and gives owners a vetted starting point they can actually use when it matters most.

I'm in the early stages and actively looking to connect with vets, veterinary neurologists, rehabilitation professionals, researchers, and owners who've navigated this and know firsthand what's missing. If you have thoughts on what a resource like this should actually include, I'd like to hear from you.

Not selling anything. Just building something and trying to do it right.
