Not a Used Dog, At All by Carol Erickson

Posted by Barbara Techel


The Dog Writer’s of America Association once again held their yearly prestigous awards banquet in New York on Feb. 13th, 2011.  While my author mom, Barbara Techel and I were nominated in the category of best children’s book for Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Therapy Dog Visits Libby’s House, along with author Carol Erickson and Carol Rauch, we did not attend this years event.  But we wanted to shout out a big congratulations to Carol Erickson for winning in the children’s book category for Not a Used Dog, At All.

What a wonderful book to shine a positive light on animals in shelters and resuce.  I have no doubt this book will help many animals find loving homes.  Bravo, Carol!  Bravo!  All profits from this book will be donated to animal rescue and shelters groups.

Talk 2 the Animals Radio Will Talk with Us about Frankie’s Disabled Animal Rescue & Resource Page

Tune in Tuesday, February 8th at 8:00pm CST as Janet Roper, host of Talk 2 the Animals will talk with me and Frankie about our latest efforts to expand on our mission to help animals with disabled pets.

Award-winning author Barbara Techel and her dog Frankie known as the “Walk ‘N Roll Dog” have been dedicated to bringing a positive face to disabled animals, especially those diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) since 2007.
They share their message of hope with schools, libraries and organizations in Wisconsin and as well as via Skype.  Frankie is also a certified therapy dog bringing joy to the sick, dying and lonely.
Though Barbara is not involved with rescue, she wanted to expand on her and Frankie’s mission by trying to help more animals with special needs.  So she created Frankie’s Disabled Animal Rescue and Resource page which can be found on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/frankiesdisabledanimalandresuce.  This page is for any rescuers or humane societies, or anyone involved in finding homes for pets with special needs, to feel free to post photos and stories of special needs pets  needing homes.

Help us spread the word by letting your local humane societies and rescuers know this page is there for them to share photos and stories of special needs pets they may have that need to find forever and loving homes. Together we can make a difference!

 

Frankie’s Disabled Animal Rescue & Resource Page

So fellow dog author, Dayna Hilton told me about a wonderful thing SurfDog Ricochet started in helping bring awareness to animals in need with a special Facebook page dedicated to just that… and it got me thinking.

Because my mission, along with the help of my rolling dog, Frankie, is to bring positive awareness to animals with special needs, especially those with IVDD (Intevertebral Disc Disease), I thought, wow, I could start a page for Frankie to try and help disabled animals find forever, loving homes.  Now that just made my heart sing, so I jumped right on it!


This Facebook page, Frankie’s Disabled Animal Rescue and Resource Page is for all rescuers who help special needs pets to find forever and loving homes to post those pets that need just that.  We also want this page to be a helpful resource page for those living with disabled pets.  Because of the attention Frankie has gotten and continues to gain, I felt this would be a wonderful way to try and help more animals!

Please share with rescuers you know!  Each of us can help make a difference in these special needs pets lives and the many blessings they bring, just by passing this information along.  Thank you so much!
