About

I was fascinated with animals... Age 1

Visiting with the Neighbour's cat... Age 2

Feeding Jimmy-T at 2 weeks old, I discovered him out in
the field, the morning after he was born and abandoned.

The day I picked Riley out of the litter,
or did he pick me?

His absolute favorite thing is to fetch a ball,
and as often as possible!

This is Maya, I met her at a Spay & Neuter clinic while I was
volunteering with Isla Animals in Mexico, March 2012.

Maya loves the snow as much as Riley does.

Maya and Riley are the best of friends.

Maya is a Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Herding Dog,
so she loves being around horses.

Wilson passed away on January 18, 2014. He is gone but not forgotten. I will continue the work we started together.

Volunteering at the CANDI Spay and Neuter Clinic,
Dec. 2013, In Bonfil, Cancun.

Close to 900 Dogs and Cats were sterilized
at the 2013 CANDI Clinic!

Helping to recover a male dog after his neuter surgery.

This female and her pups, were living on the streets,
she was spayed (using a side-spay procedure) before
they went to a foster home.

I met Sadie while touring Tierra de Animales in Dec. 2013,
an animal shelter in Cancun, MX.

Sadie is now a part of my family, Dec. 25, 2013

Sadie has loved the snow from day one!

I woke up one morning to this beautiful image, laying next to me.

From a very young age, I have always had a passion and love for animals. I feel a deep connection to all animals, domesticated or otherwise, I understand them, and they truly make sense to me.

I had a pivotal moment in my life in 2006, after the passing of my brother. I found myself questioning what my purpose was, and what my legacy would be. I had always heard people say, that your passion, will lead you to your purpose, and that is exactly what happened for me. It was during a visit with Rainer Geertz (Pops), in my backyard in the summer of 2008, that I would discover how I was going to turn my passion, into my purpose, and leave a legacy that would perpetuate something good for a dog and cats health.

By definition, Rainer Geertz (Pops) is a Master Herbalist, a Member of the Canadian Association of Herbal Practitioners and owner of Kieler's Health, but in truth his knowledge and experience far exceeds his title. It was during this particular conversation, when discussing the cancers and preventable illnesses that are plaguing our four legged friends, that I asked the question, "What can be done to improve their health and extend their lives"? That is when my journey began, and in turn, the birth of Riley's Legacy - MBF Superior Health (now Pet-tek Immune Booster).

I studied everything I could get my hands on, related to the immune system, common ailments in dogs and cats, I read books and medical journals written by the leaders of Glutathione research and Cell Defense. I then turned to Rainer Geertz (Pops) for his expertise in putting the formula together. It took close to a year before Riley’s Legacy - MBF Superior Health (now Pet-tek Immune Booster) supplement was ready to be put on the shelves, of selected stores, who promote Health & Nutrition.

As I was nearing the end of my research on Glutathione and Cell-defense, I had a new found hope, that our animals could live longer healthier lives. I also discovered that although it's imperative to feed our dogs & cats a natural and healthy diet, it's simply not enough.

My passion and love of animals has lead me on a path to where I'm now Volunteering at Spay and Neuter clinics in Mexico, and Canada. I am an Animal Advocate, and a Voice for the Voiceless. I will live out my life doing what I can, to help make this planet a better place for all animals to live in.

From the day I brought Riley home, he has been my constant companion and continuous source of joy and inspiration in my life. I'm not sure how I'll every repay him for all that he has given to me in such a short time, but I look forward to having many years with him to show him my gratitude and love.

Sincerely,

Jannet Talbott
President - Riley’s Legacy Inc.
