Welcome Kimberly Elliott, belikejosh founder
Welcome back to Pushing Forward with Alycia | A Disability Podcast, where we celebrate the voices reshaping our understanding of disability. This episode features Kimberly Elliott, the heart and soul behind the Be Like Josh Foundation, a dedicated advocate for dogs with neurological disabilities.
The Foundation's Mission
Kimberly Elliott, inspired by her dog Josh, has transformed her compassion into a dynamic advocacy platform. Josh, a delightful golden doodle with cerebellar hypoplasia, exemplifies the joy and potential of dogs often overlooked due to their disabilities. Learn more about cerebellar hypoplasia on the National Organization for Rare Disorders.

Quote
"Advocacy is about making noise and making a difference, even when the echoes are faint," says Kimberly. Her work is featured on platforms like Josh the Doodle’s Instagram and the foundation's Facebook page, where the stories of resilience and recovery foster a broader understanding of disability.
Educational Initiatives and Advocacy Efforts
Kimberly's commitment extends into educational initiatives that challenge perceptions about disabilities in both the pet world and broader communities. By introducing children and adults to dogs like Josh, the foundation sets the stage for a more accepting and inclusive society.
Looking to the Future
Kimberly reflects on the path ahead: "Each step we take is about lifting the veil on disability, showing that it's a part of life’s rich tapestry, not a limitation." Her vision is clear—expand the reach of Be Like Josh to enlighten, educate, and empower.
