Another Disabled Dog Gains Mobility – This Makes 51 and We Plan to Keep on Rolling!
Maui

Meet Maui! She is the 51st disabled dog the Frankie Wheelchair Fund had the honor of donating the funds to so she could begin life anew again.

She is currently with Dachshund Rescue of South Florida.

I’d say by the look of her stuffed toy friend, she has not wasted anytime getting around to the business of doing what dachshunds do best — and ripping (err, I mean loving) it with all her might.

I hope you will join me in wishing Maui a long, happy, fulfilling life with wheels as her chariot to carry her wherever she wants to go.

A rolling dog is a happy dog!

Maui’s wheels custom made my Eddie’s Wheels for Pets.

Thank you to Sarah of The Smoothe Store in being part of this donation to help Maui.

Alex Makes the 50th Dog Helped with a Dog Wheelchair!
Alex

We are doing a happy dance here at Joyful Paws headquarters!

Why?

Because Alex is the 50th dog the Frankie Wheelchair Fund has granted a wheelchair to!

Alex is currently with foster, Sandi, with Dachshund Rescue of South Florida. She sent me ths picture of Alex and said, “Here’s a pic of sweet n snugly Alex in his Eddie’s Wheels. He took to his wheels like a duck to water!”

Does not surprise me one bit. I’ve seen time and time again how these dogs get on with the joy of living life — now rolling through the grass, down the street, and over their human’s feet. Nothing stops them!

A very special thanks to Sarah of The Smoothe Store as the money she raised selling dog banandas last fall helped pay for Alex’s wheelchair which she donated to the Frankie Wheelchair Fund.

You can apply, donate, or learn more about the fund on our website, National Walk ‘N Roll Dog Day.

Alex’s wheelchair custom made by Eddie’s Wheels.

Keep on rolling Alex!

Come Meet Sammy! Granted a Wheelchair from The Frankie Wheelchair Fund (and available for adoption!)

Come Meet Sammy! Granted a Wheelchair from The Frankie Wheelchair Fund (and available for adoption!)

Can you say cuteness overload? Sammy’s one ear cocked to the side really gets to my heart as it reminds me of how Gidget’s one ear does the same thing.  As if she has a wire in her ear!

I learned about Sammy from Sarah of The Smoothe Store, who was instrumental in helping raise funds this past September for The Frankie Wheelchair Fund- raising $3,500!  Woo hoo!

With the help of Sarah and money raised, we were able to help Sammy currently with Dachshund Rescue of South Florida with a wheelchair.

I think it’s pretty safe to say that Sammy is oober happy in his brand new shiny wheels!  Seeing faces like Sammy just sends oodles of love to my heart.

And you can see just how fast he is in his wheels with this video on his foster mom Sandi’s Facebook page.

Want to bring Sammy into your life?  He is available for adoption!!

Stay tuned to meet Cricket soon!
