Nimby is a dog that The Frankie Wheelchair Fund was able to donate a wheelchair custom made Eddie’s Wheels, a few months ago.
The final leg of his journey is to find him a forever home. As you will see in the video he is so full of spunk and life.
Please do pass along his video if you know of someone who could give him a home for the rest of his life.
Douglas is the 43rd dog to receive a wheelchair from The Frankie Wheelchair Fund.
You just have to love a dachshund face, don’t you?
His mom, Kourtney, who works at a vet office, graciously adopted Douglas due to his previous owners who could no longer care for him.
Douglas does have a few other medical issues which Kourney is doing her best to get under control and give him a quality life.
According to the vet seeing Douglas she said, “Douglas is already bonding to Kourtney and wants to be next to her. Having a wheelchair for him will allow him to be near her as he wishes.”
Wish granted so that Douglas can live a quality life with someone who has his best interest at heart and doing all she can to give him a wonderful life.
I think I’m safe in saying that the readers here at Joyful Paws are cheering you on, Douglas! Keep on rolling!

If you wish to support The Frankie Wheelchair Fund the anuual campaign is running for another 7-days with t-shirts being sold to benefit the fund (in collaboration with celebrating National Walk ‘N Roll Dog Day on Sept. 22.) We are currently at 89 sold (thank you!!) and hope to reach 100 or more. This will provide a little over $1,000 to the fund if we hit 100. Thanks for your consideration!
I put this little video together of some of the paralyzed dogs that The Frankie Wheelchair Fund has been able to to fund wheelchairs for since 2012.
You can see more photos of wheelie dogs the fund has helped on the website I created which is also a special day I founded to honor and celebrate all dogs in wheelchairs, National Walk ‘N Roll Dog Day.
I’m very proud of this continued effort to bring positive awareness to dogs who have become paralyzed but now lead a wonderful life because of the help of a wheelchair.
There are so many who have joined this effort either in sharing this special day with others, adopting a paralyzed dog, donating to the fund, or just simply supporting by saying thanks and believing in what this message is all about.
Every single time I see a paralyzed dog learn to walk again in a wheelchair it makes my heart soar! I never ever tire of seeing their enthusiasm for life and how they just get on with living their lives, teaching us what perseverance is all about.
Up next: Douglas, the 43rd paralyzed dog the Frankie Wheelchair Fund helped and soon Jason, another paralyzed dog helped.
**Eddie’s Wheels is the company I work with in providing these custom made wheelchairs.**
