Our Story

A career built on animals.
A foundation built for them.

BBAW Foundation was created by Babette Gladstein, VMD, a New York City veterinarian who entered veterinary school later in life and built a career centered on animal rehabilitation and regenerative care. Dr. Gladstein has published in the Journal of Prolotherapy, and her clinical background informs the foundation’s animal-welfare mission.


The foundation uses funds for veterinary care for animals in need, in cooperation with animal support charities; makes grants to recognized §501(c)(3) organizations that provide support for animals; and sporadically arranges its own charitable programs or direct assistance to support animal health. Dr. Gladstein is a donor and volunteer with the Humane Society of New York and may occasionally participate in projects or provide veterinary services in that capacity.

Osirus
HSNY Case
Osirus
Osirus was an 11-year-old pit bull surrendered to the Humane Society who could not stand on his own. He had a partial ACL tear, hip dysplasia, and elbow dysplasia affecting all four limbs. After six pro bono prolotherapy sessions, including regenerative treatment support, he returned to walking, running, and playing without pain medication.
Precious
HSNY Case
Precious
After falling nine stories from a high-rise, Precious survived but suffered severe damage to her front paw and could not bear weight for months. Her family could not afford ongoing care, and her recovery had stalled. Through a series of pro bono prolotherapy treatments, her pain gradually subsided, swelling resolved, and she began using the limb again. Today, Precious moves freely, climbs, and has returned to a full, active life.
Potato
French Bulldog Rescue Network
Potato
Potato is a French bulldog referred to BBAW Foundation through the French Bulldog Rescue Network, a fellow 501(c)(3). Dr. Gladstein provided a full course of pro bono rehabilitation treatment, with regenerative therapy supported in part by a product partner.
Bella
HSNY Case
Bella
Bella, a young Shih Tzu, was surrendered for euthanasia after becoming paralyzed in her hind limbs due to severe spinal disease. Surgery was not financially possible for her family, and her prognosis was poor. With a combination of pro bono prolotherapy, laser therapy, and rehabilitation, Bella began improving within weeks—first standing, then walking. Within two months, she regained mobility and returned to a normal life.
Buddy
HSNY Case
Buddy
Buddy, an older rescue dog, suffered from severe hip dysplasia and could barely walk without pain. He relied heavily on one hind leg and struggled with basic movement. After a series of pro bono prolotherapy treatments, Buddy regained strength, mobility, and comfort. He is now walking on all four legs and was ultimately adopted into a loving home.
