The Be Like Josh Foundation dedicates itself to rescuing, rehabilitating, and advocating for dogs with neurological disabilities. They possess extensive experience working with a wide range of cerebellar conditions and other neurological challenges. Their passion lies in tackling the most difficult neurological cases. This stems from their understanding of the stigma surrounding these conditions, and their commitment to ensuring every dog, regardless of their challenges, has the chance to flourish.

Due to the nature of their work, the dogs in Be Like Josh's care tend to stay longer than the typical rescue dog. This extended stay allows for an extremely thorough vetting and diagnostic process. Be Like Josh spends a significant amount of time with each case to understand the dog in its totality, taking into account all aspects of its mental and physical well-being.

These dogs serve as ambassadors for Be Like Josh's message: regardless of where we sit on the spectrum of abilities, all animals (and people) are worthy of love, respect, and belonging. Be Like Josh strives to challenge the ableist mindset that discriminates against neurological differences. Their ultimate goal is to create a more compassionate and deeper understanding for all beings who exist in the world.

"...disabilities don’t need a cure. They need support, patience, compassion, and inclusion"
