The Turbo Kees Foundation is founded in loving memory of my dog Turbo; my companion, my friend, my inspiration. Turbo lived 9 years, 5-years longer than any would have guessed. He became part of my life in 1988 when I walked into a pet store and saw the most beautiful puppy I had ever seen. Little did I know the immense impact this fuzzy little bear would have on my life. The first four years of his life were happy and healthy. He instinctively could sense danger in people and conversely, always seemed to know when someone needed extra attention. He performed countless heroic actions including what I believe was saving a child from being grabbed off the street. By the age of 5, Turbo was having trouble walking. If his life was to continue, he required a total hip replacement. He made it through the first hip socket replacement, but while recovering before the other hip replacement could be done his health took another downward turn. What made things even worse was that my Veterinarian at the time did not believe me and attributed his behavior to his recent surgery. I finally found a Veterinarian who listened to my concerns and Turbo was diagnosed with Lupus.
