Paws in Prayer for Dr. Steve Smith
This man, this awesome human being, sitting far right having a beer during a 2018 dog park fundraiser at Peacemaker Brewing is Dr. Steve Smith. Steve is a veterinarian who was an important player in the development of Canandaigua Canine Campus. He spoke to the City Council about the value for a dog park here, advocated for the membership model, attended our fundraisers, made a generous donation to the effort from Canandaigua Vet Hospital and was a consultant to the Friends of CCC Dog Park Advisory Group. Steve has cared for my fur babies for over a decade. I could not have handled all the serious health issues lobbed at my crew without his support, knowledge, humor and compassion. Now the healer needs healing. Unfortunately, Steve has just been diagnosed with glioblastoma (an inoperable brain cancer). I am heartbroken for him, his lovely wife, children and pets, family, colleagues, friends and his patients. I am sharing a Go Fund Me campaign established to help his family. Read his story, he is truly amazing. Please consider making a donation and pray for him and his family. Thank you, Nancy McCarthy https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-steve-smith-and-family
