Meet Daisy: The 21st Dog Helped with a Wheelchair through The Frankie Wheelchair Fund

daisy 2Another happy dance day today at Joyful Paws Headquarters sharing the announcement that the Frankie Wheelchair Fund has helped another dog gain back their mobility.

Meet 10-year old Daisy who is now enjoying the great outdoors, sniffing and exploring once again. You can visit her Facebook page to see a video of her enjoying time in her yard again.  Daisy had a wheelchair, but unfortunately she didn’t like it for some reason. But a custom-made wheelchair from Eddie’s Wheels seems to have done the trick.

Daisy has intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) and sadly was attacked and stabbed by a mentally disturbed young man a little over a month ago. She is recovering nicely and will be having some upcoming dental work that still needs to be done. If you’d like to help with Daisy’s medical funds you can do so here.

Daisy is now in a home that loves her very much and providing wonderful care for her. I’m so glad I could help her in a positive way with a new set of wheels and say a huge thank you once again to the supporters of the Frankie Wheelchair Fund who make this possible for me to do.

To learn more about the Frankie Wheelchair Fund please visit National Walk ‘N Roll Dog Day website. You can apply there for the fund or contribute. To learn more about IVDD visit Dodgerslist.

We also have an on-going partnership with Bean Goods Company and this durable, fun, inspiring tote bag you can purchase with 100% of the profits that go to the Frankie Wheelchair Fund.
