Rescue Story
Hands That Heal, Hearts That Care
In the Saving Grace clinic, Robin Myers is often the first steady hand a dog encounters on their path to healing. Her expertise and compassion help turn injury, illness, and fear into comfort, recovery, and a real chance at a forever home.
At Saving Grace, rescue in action often begins in the clinic. Every dog who arrives carries a story, and sometimes a medical need that must be addressed before healing can truly begin. The clinic team plays a vital role in making rescue possible, ensuring each dog is healthy, comfortable, and ready for the next step toward a forever home. Lead Veterinary Technician Robin Myers is part of that essential work, bringing decades of experience, steady care, and a deep love for dogs to every day on the job.

What brought you to Saving Grace?
I have been working with Saving Grace for almost two years, and I brought many years of spay and neuter experience with me. I came to Saving Grace because I love what it is all about. I have known Molly and the organization for many years, and it was always where I hoped to work when I took the next step in my career. I truly love what I do.

What does a typical day look like for you at Saving Grace — and what moments remind you why this work matters?
In the clinic, we get to see every dog that comes into the program. Some come in for surgery, and some just need a wellness check, but the clinic touches them all. That means we are often the first stop in a dog’s journey after leaving a shelter. We see them as they are when they arrive, and we help prepare them for what comes next.
Â
We in the clinic play a huge part in each dog’s path to a forever home. I love that we get to see them come in from shelters. Many of these dogs have had hard lives before they get here. Some arrive with skin issues, wounds, eye problems, or broken bones. Others come in with something harder to diagnose, like broken spirits. Our job is to meet them where they are and start the process of healing.
Â
We do everything we can in the clinic, working closely with our veterinarians and veterinary partners who generously give their time and expertise. The goal is always the same: to get each dog healthy enough to thrive in a loving home. That may mean surgery, medical treatment, or simply patience and care while they begin to feel safe again.
Â
One part of the work that stands out to me is amputations and the recovery stories that follow. While this is not an everyday surgery in the clinic, it is sometimes the best way to give a dog a better life. Seeing dogs run and play after they have healed, without pain and without limits, always makes me smile. They remind me that dogs are incredibly resilient and that what may look like a loss is often a doorway to freedom and comfort.

What would you say to someone who wants to get involved—whether through adopting, volunteering, fostering, or donating?
I encourage people to come visit Saving Grace and see what we are about. When you walk the farm and meet the dogs, you can feel how much care goes into every part of their journey. We cannot do what we do without support and help from everyone.
Rescue in Action
Robin’s work in the clinic is a powerful example of how rescue truly happens, one dog at a time. Through skilled medical care, collaboration with veterinary partners, and deep compassion for every dog who comes through the door, she helps make healing and adoption possible. This is rescue in action, and it takes a team. When you support Saving Grace through volunteering, fostering, adopting, or donating, you help ensure that dogs with medical needs receive the care they deserve and the chance to thrive in a home of their own.
