Lily Rolls for Just a Few Short Days in a Wheelchair Granted by the Frankie Wheelchair Fund

Lily Rolls for Just a Few Short Days in a Wheelchair Granted by the Frankie Wheelchair Fund
LILY

Lily found her way to someone with a huge heart willing to go the distance and help her with her paralysis after her previous owners were unable to care for her.

Sydnie was Lily’s angel. She contacted me in October stating she needed help with a wheelchair for Lily asking if The Frankie Wheelchair Fund could help. I was more than happy to do just that and provide the funds for a wheelchair to be custom built by Eddie’s Wheels for Pets.

Sydnie worked hard with Lily improving her condition, but a wheelchair was still needed to provide quality of life for Lily. The wheelchair arrived in early November and while Lily’s story had a great beginning, I’m sad to report that she was diagnosed with Lymphona a few short days after she was up and rolling in her wheelchair.

Sydnie contacted me letting me know that Lily was in a lot of pain and the most humane thing to do was help her cross over, which she did, even though her heart was shattered. She also felt so bad for not being able to do more for Lily and felt in someway she had let her down.

Having been through this with Joie, I completely understood, and assured Sydnie that I truly believe that Lily knew how fortunate she was to have had a wonderful life with Sydnie the last few months. And now Lily is Syndnie’s angel.

And…. Lily’s wheelchair will help another disabled dog in need. As part of the Frankie Wheelchair Fund I ask that recipients of a wheelchair from the fund, return the wheelchair to Eddie’s Wheels when it is no longer needed. So the gift goes on…

If you are looking to donate this holiday season to a great cause, I’d be delighted if you considered The Frankie Wheelchair Fund, which helps disabled dogs in need of a wheelchair. To date, with the generous donations of others, I’ve been able to help over sixty dogs with the gift of mobility.  Donations can be made online here. Thanks for your consideration!

Meet Molly Mocha - Frankie Wheelchair Fund Recipient & Available for Adoption!

One of my greatest joys in life continues to being able to help a paralyzed dog walk again with the use of a wheelchair.  Meet Molly Mocha who I heard about through one of my favorite disabled dog sanctuaries, Lovey Loaves.

As per Lovey Loaves website: Molly Mocha is 12 years old and weighs 17lbs  and considered a chocolate cream dapple dachshund. Her hind legs are paralyzed and she was diagnosed with IVDD at two years old and has dragged her hind end for the past ten years. She now has an Eddie’s Wheels cart that she uses regularly to run and play! Due to her hind end paralysis, Molly does require bladder expression.

Molly Mocha is available for adoption and she comes complete with her brand new spanking speedy wheels!  Please contact Lovey Loaves if you are interested.

Again…thank you to all that continue to support my mission to help paralyzed dogs in need. Without those generous donations I couldn’t do what I do. It takes a team and I’m grateful for everyone who has helped me in the past and continues to help.

Molly Mocha’s wheelchair is custom-made by Eddie’s Wheels for Pets. To learn more about them please do visit their website!

…and today I was able to grant another wheelchair to a paralyzed dog in need… which brings it to 60 dogs the Frankie Wheelchair Fund has helped!  YAY!!  And I’m pretty sure I heard a ARF-A-ROO echo on down from heaven from Frankie!

It’s not too often that I get updates on disabled dogs that the Frankie Wheelchair Fund has been able to help with a wheelchair – but when I do – oh, how it makes my day!

Suzanne, who cares for dear, sweet Canelo sent me these beautiful photos that clearly show that Canelo is having the time of his life!  All the photos were taken by professional photographer, Maria Oakar of My Buddy Photography. What a great job she did in capturing the joy that these special dogs absolutely do experience despite their special challenges.

Soon I hope to share a photo of Dappy and Molly Mocha – two dachshunds the Frankie Wheelchair Fund recently granted funds to have custom wheelchairs built by Eddie’s Wheels, which makes 58 dogs the fund has been able to help to date.  So stay tuned….and in the meantime, enjoy this gallery of Canelo pictures!
