Lady is the 33rd dog to be granted a wheelchair through The Frankie Wheelchair Fund.

She does look like she is perhaps saying, “Are you sure this thing does not have a motor on it?”

Memphis, the young full time pre-veterinary med student who took Lady in says even though Lady’s face looks a bit scared on this photo, she is beginning to get the hang of the wheelchair more and more each day.

Some dogs do take a bit longer to get used to their wheels and we are happy Lady will likely be rolling around in no time eventually not even realizing she now has wheels for back legs.

Memphis was shadowing at a local veterinarian clinic where Lady was brought in. Lady had managed to find her way to a home of strangers who brought her into the clinic.

After a few weeks of no one coming forward or wanting to adopt Lady, Memphis wanted to give her a chance at living a quality of life.

Being a full time student, plus working to pay for college, she didn’t know how she could pay for a wheelchair for Lady, but had $100 she could put towards one.

The Frankie Wheelchair Fund was happy to grant the remaining balance. And I also find it wonderful to know that a pre-veterinary student is seeing with her own eyes the value of a wheelchair and how it can help pets. To know she will take that into her practice someday is so great to know!

***Wheelchair I recommend and work with for The Frankie Wheelchair Fund is Eddie’s Wheels.
