To this day, witnessing a dog in a wheelchair, touches my heart in a deep and meaningful way on so many levels.
All this week we’ve been lighting up Facebook with inspiring photos of dogs in wheelchairs leading up to September 22nd, the official day of National Walk ‘N Roll Dog Day.
Frankie’s (the walk ‘n roll dog) legacy lives on with this special day celebrated every year as a way in which we honor ALL dogs in wheelchairs around the world.
I’ll be talking about this special day, which I founded in 2012, on a local TV station, WFRV, Local 5 Live on Tues., Sept. 22nd between 9:20 and 9:45a.
If you can’t tune in live you can catch the recording here. Gidget will be making an appearance also!
If there is one thing I believe in with all my heart it is that dogs in wheelchairs can live quality lives…and why it continues to be important to me to spread this positive message.
The Smoothe Store Raises Over $2,000 to Help Paralyzed Dogs
It’s truly a beautiful thing when others jump on the band wagon to support your mission.
Sarah of The Smoothe Store has done just that designing these bandana’s to show our love of our wheelie dog friends.
To date she has raised over $2,000 to help paralyzed dogs with the money being donated to The Frankie Wheelchair Fund which grants wheelchairs to dogs in need.
Meet our first recipient that Sarah and her efforts is helping (which also makes it the 45th dog helped thru The Frankie Wheelchair Fund). Sammy’s wheelchair is currently being custom built by Eddie’s Wheels and she should be rolling soon. Stay tuned!
Sammy is currently in rescue with Dachshund Rescue of South Florida and is available for adoption.
A million thanks to you, Sarah!!
