Many thanks to everyone who helped set up and race

Many thanks to everyone who helped set up and raced yesterday!!

MBAA Race #1 is in the books. Andy had to many personal goals to list and Richie left nothing on the trail finishing strong and earning that Pepperoni Pizza. Eli, you know the guy with insanely large calves? He finished STRONG and never touched down and climbed every hill.

Faith, the rescue puppy from @rezroadsrescue in New Mexico and service dog in training, made the ride all the way home to Prescott without puking.. Great Job Faith!! Great Job Everyone!!

Thank you Brandi for staying with Faith, calming her anxiety in all the commotion.

Team Charity Case decades ago, was created by a couple of mountain bikers wanting to raise some money for The Arizona Humane Society. It's safe to say our roots run deep in the cycling community.

Team Charity Case is a premier sponsor of this year's 2025 MBAA Races Series.To learn more about the MBAA visit mbaa.net and check them out on Facebook and Instagram @mbaaraceseries

Raising awareness for the organizations helping animals, foodbanks, and the homeless is our passion..

Thank you again. To ALL the folks who wear Team Charity Case Orange in the hope of raising awareness to the many selfless individuals like the fosters, the doctors, the vet techs and volunteers who are in the trenches day after day.. We support you!

The Team Charity Case crew met up to set up last night at @mcdowellmountainregionalpark for the McDowell Meltdown. Thank you @mbaaraceseries and @timracette87 for putting on such an awesome race series! We are excited for the first race of the season and the first mountain biking race of 2025!

Congratulations Richie for being the 2024 Commitme

Congratulations Richie for being the 2024 Commitment To The Cause award winner.

Team Charity Case recognizes Richie for his dedication to the Team, It's many good causes and his continued support at events.

Shnookum Update, day two, post release from the ho

Shnookum Update, day two, post release from the hospital.

I know folks want updates so I am taking everyone along with me for morning rounds.

Shnookum continues to do great. He is just getting prazosin now, which sort of helps his urethra relax reducing any sort of strain while he recovers.

He has a dedicated ring camera running 24/7 to monitor but also it allows us to scroll back through the day and night to see how many times he is going to the bathroom, getting up and generally a soft monitor of him while allowing him space and quietness.

I do mention using only Distilled Water in the video.

I see it like this, image a hose bib and how it gets all calcified and white hard guck builds up. That is hard water. Cats have very small kidneys and bladder and over time we have found that poor diet and poor water quality is likely a cause for kidney and bladder stones among other things. Their little delicate systems over time just cannot filter all that and build up begins.

They love the Distilled water and we change the water regularly. Fresh water is critical to good health.

If anyone out there has a multi-kitty home it's not expensive to use Distilled water at all and likely will pay for itself in reduced medical bills.

That's my tip for the day.. Distilled water! It's about $1.20 to $1.40 per gallon.

For now, that's all I have. Shnookum is doing great!

Update on Balto.

Many of you I am sure recall the dog in the video had one helofa bad day that landed him in the ER. Yavapai Emergency Animal Hospital

He's doing great. Thank you everyone for sending good vibes.

Balto (his new name) is going on regular walks, loves his food and treats and really enjoys smelling all the smells of the local wildlife.

I've attached a video of a walk with Balto today 😀

Shnookum Update. For the many inquiring minds, S

Shnookum Update.

For the many inquiring minds, Shnookum was clear to be released from the hospital last night. Thank you Yavapai Emergency Animal Hospital for all the care and attention that you gave to Shnookum and a special special thanks to the amazing doctor's who performed bladder surgery so confidently and with such gentle care.

X Ray imaging revealed that Shnookum was dealing with bladder stones. The stones were determined to be to large to be passed on their own.

Doctor's are able to take X Rays of the bladder to see AND MEASURE stones or debris. X Rays are a very useful tool for doctor's in circumstances such as Shnookums.

Moving on.... The surgery basically had the doctors making a small incision into the bladder wall, manually and with care using their finger usually removed the culprit stones. The bladder is flushed with sterile solutions before closing up the incision.

Post surgery there are more X Ray images taken to confirm everything was removed and the bladder is free of obstructions.

Stones can be life threatening to males cats. The situation can be more critical with males for among other reasons the size if the urethra is much more narrow than in females.

Stones can originate in the Kidneys and travel to the bladder OR they can originate in the bladder.

The very qualified team of doctors at Yavapai Emergency Hospital made sure to check the kidneys but also performed many blood tests to make sure Shnookum was stable and had nothing else going on that was concerning. All clear there.

Shnookum is resting comfortably, receiving lots of pets and attention and getting his prescribed medications.

Everyone's prayers worked as I believe they do if it's God's will.

When transporting Shnookums from New Mexico to Prescott Valley (not braking any speed limits whatsoever) over Sedona I saw a beautiful shooting star.. I personally dedicated my wish to Shnookum and for him to be okay. I believe I got my wish 🙏💫

Little bit of fun.

Little bit of fun.

Update on Faith. I believe it would be an understatement to say that Faith is getting along with her cat housemates. One kitty in-particular named Ollie.

Ollie is a permanent resident with us. He is a tripod having lost a leg a few years back.

Ollies days of mischief on the streets of Phoenix ended when he got in over his head with a horse and landed himself in the animal hospital with very serious injuries.

The vet called us asking if we could offer him a cool retirement INDOORS. That was 4 years ago.

Faith now resides indoors here with Ollie and Ollie loves to eat pup-peroni treats with Faith. Don't worry he doesn't get much, we think he just likes to do what she is doing.

I took this short video to share. I hope it brings a smile to everyone's faces. 🐕🐈‍⬛

Update on Faith, a special little puppy that was saved by the folks at Rez Roads Rescue. We just saw a post by Rez Roads about little Faith loving her kitty housemates. I took this short video recording just moments ago.

Ollie, the cat in the video is a tripod kitty who was tragically injured and had his leg amputated when we got him.

Faith and Ollie have seemed to have become besties.

Ollie came to Team Charity Case about 4 years ago and is a permanent resident with us. Faith and Ollie are inseparable and Ollie eats dog treats (not to many) with Faith.

Update on Balto. Today Balto was taken to Phoenix

Update on Balto.

Today Balto was taken to Phoenix for a follow-up examination and removal of his staples from the leg amputation less than 10 days ago.

Staples can stay in for up to 14 days but Balto is doing so well they are being removed today!!

Thank you everyone for your well wishes AND for those asking to adopt wonderful Balto.. I'm sure he is greatful to you all.

Thanks Brandi for making the trek down to Phoenix and being there with him. 🙏

Morning #7 Thank you everyone for your support an

Morning #7

Thank you everyone for your support and prayers for the speedy recovery of Balto. I believe they are working!

Balto has completed his anti- inflammatories, has just 1 antibiotic left and is now going outside regularly for short very easy walks. He has a doctors appointment December 5th for follow-up.

Animals are so resilient. They truly are.
It's hard to believe it's just been a week and this little guy is just full of life, energy, curiosity and drive.

Arguably after having one of the worst days imaginable for anyone, getting struck by a car, undergoing emergency surgery, loss of a limb, getting castrated then surrendered by family and waking up in a strange place with strange faces.. Goodness.

Indeed you are not in Kansas anymore little doggy.. No... That tornado of chaos landed you someplace far better!!!

Isn't that just how it seems at times? Chaos, suffering, trials and tribulations. It seems so daunting while in the proverbial storm, but once through it, your glad for the experience and the direction the storm blew ya. Well, that's how I feel anyway and believe me, life hasn't always been rainbows and butterflies.

For now, thank you and keep the good vibes coming 🙏

Meet Maple. Today is her 1 year anniversary coming

Meet Maple. Today is her 1 year anniversary coming to Team Charity Case.

1 year ago, we received a call from a man who explained and described a horrible situation involving a homeless man living in a garage bay and he had a cat. The cat smelled like stale cigarettes, her fur matted and greesy and she had lost the use of her hind legs.

The good samaritain who called, got the homeless man (homeless as a result of a divorce situation), to surrender the cat.

Once we got the cat we brought her straight to Urgent Pet Prescott where they diagnosed her with diabetes. Her blood sugar was over 600. Extremely high blood surgar can be life threatening and lead to serious health issues like the neuropathy of her hind legs.

Had the cat not been treated we were told she would have been found dead.

Team Charity Case renamed the cat Maple because she's so damn sweet. Maybe why the high blood sugar 🤔

Eitherway, the doctors shaved her and we got her insulin.

For the last year Maple has received 2 injections a day and has made a full recovery including regaining the use of her hind legs.

The diagnoses of diabetes in a pet is NOT the end of the world. Like humans, it's very treatable.

In addition to her twice a day insulin injections, Maple is not allowed to free feed and she has been on a low carb dry food diet.

We are so blessed to have been chosen to care for Maple. We have NEVER had to care for a diabetic cat or dog and had zero experience. It was so easy to learn. She is so easy to care for. She is so happy and loves having the use of her legs back. (Took 3 months to regain use).

Like humans who get on insulin, make dietary changes and has regular exercise, the prognosis is very good for diabetes.

Happy Anniversary Maple!!!

Many of you know "Team" Charity Case was created o

Many of you know "Team" Charity Case was created over 23 years ago by a bunch of rough and tumble mountain bikers.

To this day, we hold true to our orgins. Approaching 2025 we have mountain bikers registered in various 24hr endurance events, ironman competitions and especially in the MBAA series. (Mountain Bike Association of Arizona).

We are excited to be alongside PIVOT Bikes as a 2025 Sponsor.

@mbaaraceseries is not only a mountain bike race series but a nonprofit doing a lot of good out there!! MBAA is a nonprofit organization engaged in charitable services focused on trail maintenance, construction and preservation among other things. MBAA also supports organizations who have a core focus on getting Youth into cycling and all that goes along with that!!

Tomorrow is December. As 2024 winds down Team Charity Case is ramping up for an AMAZING 2025!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day yes

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day yesterday. We continue to work very closely with Balto and are sharing the video of his first time going outside since the accident which resulted among other things the loss of his rear leg.

General update is he is doing amazing and it's time to get him moving. Even if just a little. He is still shakey and wobbly so be purchased a sling to help support his body as we take him on very short exercise walks.

Balto has finished his anti-inflamatory medications and is still on antibiotics and pain meds. (Very light).

Time, Love and Commitment goes a long way. We are doing nothing that anyone else couldn't be doing.

If you have a pet, (family member) don't give up on them. They need us more than ever during sickness and injury. Their love in unconditional and ours should be as well. 🙏

Update on Balto. First off, thank you everyone for

Update on Balto. First off, thank you everyone for the well wishes.

Balto made it through his 2nd night. 1st night in the ER and second night with Team Charity Case.

Intense story with happy happy moments.

Balto is scheduled to meet his new primary doctor in Phoenix, Dr Stevens at Sunburst Animal Hospital where his staples will be removed and he will receive a very thorough examination.

Balto is eating and drinking well and even standing up on his own.

Balto is sharing a beautiful space with his own personal fireplace and housemate Molly (12 year old cat) who has been keeping close watch on him and any food he doesn't eat..

We feel very confident that Balto is going to be just fine. He is currently on pain medication, anti inflammatories and antibiotics.

A contractor has been notified and will hopefully be constructing a small enclosure for Baltos rehabilitation.

We plan to do an Embark DNA test to better learn more about Balto. 🙏

Excited to see those results and will share with everyone!

If you think your last 24hrs was rough, I'm thinki

If you think your last 24hrs was rough, I'm thinking this little guy has you beat.

As this story continues to unfold, the gist is Team Charity Case got a call last night about a dog who was hit by a car. The injuries significant requiring surgery and amputation of a hind leg.

Facing medical expenses that spanned into the thousands, the little guy was surrendered.

The ER called Team Charity Case asking if we could help. How can we say no and of course paid whatever the medical bills were to help this poor soul.

Totally unexpected but miracles always are, in my opinion. I personally believe God had other plans for this survivor.

Not much is known about "Balto" (his new name) just that he was a stray at one point and with former humans for 8 months before being surrendered. Everyone caring for him says he is super sweet and gentle. Praying for that!!

Heading to pick him up now. Doctor at the ER said, he's clear to go and begin the road to recovery and rehabilitation.

Dogs and cats do really really well with 3 legs. We will do everything we can to see this little guy has boots on ground and is running toward a bright and rewarding future 🙏

Thank you everyone for your well wishes and @yeahvet for reaching out to Team Charity Case and saving this dogs life! 💥👊

It is so very important to let everyone know, that animals do just fine with 3 legs.

We have 2 kitties with just 3 legs and they will whoop anyone's ass let me tell you. Never give up on your family members and yes, dogs and cats are family 🙏

Embark just came in!! Little Faith is almost 78%

Embark just came in!!

Little Faith is almost 78% Australian Cattledog! See image for the Emabark results.

No question her curled tail is the Husky and calm gentle nature is the Golden. Rou.ded nose Pitbul..

She loves cats that's all I care about 🤷‍♀️

Update on Faith, the miracle puppy from New Mexico

Update on Faith, the miracle puppy from New Mexico. Thank you @rezroadsrescue for saving Faith and her siblings.

Team Charity Case is wildly excited to learn the Embark results and will share immediately with all those offering their best guess!! Cattledog Terrier??

Faith and her littermates were dumped into a ditch on a reservation in New Mexico back in August.

@rezroadsrescue found and saved each and everyone of them. The very next day the ditch was bulldozed over. They would have all been buried alive and killed.

Unthinkable evil for anyone to do such a thing that was met with unmeasurable love and compassion that prevailed and resulted in all lives saved and Faith is one of them. 🙏

Ironman Arizona is no small feat—a grueling 2.4-

Ironman Arizona is no small feat—a grueling 2.4-mile swim, followed by a 112-mile bike ride, and finishing with a full 26.2-mile marathon. This year marked the 20th anniversary of the event, and despite signing up just three weeks before race day and coming in undertrained, Jarrett was determined to reach the finish line.

The water was a brisk 61°F, and the bike course was challenging with wind in his face and cool temperatures as the day turned to night. What kept Jarrett going was his unwavering focus on crossing that finish line, no matter what.

One thing that really stood out this race was the bold orange Team Charity Case jersey he wore. It made him easy to spot from the start—so much so that someone even picked him out of the swimmers and snapped a photo! Throughout the day, Jarrett got a lot of comments about his jersey, and it was great to use the opportunity to share the work that TCC does. Jarrett said that people he passed on the bike course remembered him, and when they saw him again on the run, they’d comment on the kit, which helped him spread the word about the amazing work we do!

Words of an Ironman-
It wasn’t just about the race for me—it was about representing something bigger. And, despite being undertrained, I proved to myself that dedication, even in the face of challenge, can get you to the finish line.

20th Anniversary of Ironman Arizona. Great Job Jar

20th Anniversary of Ironman Arizona. Great Job Jarrett!! Thank you for swimming, riding and running for the many great causes Team Charity Case supports!

You are now part of an elite group of individuals who can call themselves Ironman finishers. What an accomplishment!

Thank you for taking us along 🙏 🐾🦉🐗🦨🐈‍⬛🐕

Faith is adjusting to her new surroundings which includes all sorts of strange sounds.

Looks like she hears that big Buff kitty thats been watching her closely named Nugent and his 5 AM howling wake up call..

In the past 9 days I have had 2 dogs running wild

In the past 9 days I have had 2 dogs running wild cross my path while driving. The first "Broadie" a male Golden, was at night and in a storm. The second was today, running along Williamson Valley (a sure death sentence), name Willow.

Both had me dukes of Hazard style turning around, leaving the door open and grabbing them. FORTUNATELY both had collars, with phone numbers and names!!

Both, happy endings because both were wearing a collar with a phone number and their name.

Both dogs come from loving homes but got out. Having a collar AND tag with number made all the difference 🙏👊💥

How about a cup of Joy, well I mean Faith this mor

How about a cup of Joy, well I mean Faith this morning??

Update on little Faith who made it through the long transport from Shiprock NM to Prescott AZ.

At just 1.5 days Faith is letting us know when she needs to potty and is LOVING her feline family. Well, she seems to love all her toys and treats to.. 🙏😊
