Cricket

This week being close to Thanksgiving, I wish to say a very grateful thank you to everyone who has made it possible for me to help paralyzed dogs with a wheelchair to give them the gift of mobility. I couldn’t do it without you and I’m so thankful for your generosity and help through the years donating to The Frankie Wheelchair Fund.

Meet Cricket! She is the 47th dog granted a wheelchair through The Frankie Wheelchair Fund.

It still amazes me to this day how effortlessly many dogs take to their wheels and off they go, exploring and living life to the fullest.

Cricket is with Furever Dachshund Rescue when she will live out her life with Jo Anne and their permanent foster care program. She was brought to my attention by Sarah of The Smoothe Store. Sarah ran a campaign in conjunction with mine and National Walk ‘N Roll Dog Day this past fall, to help raise awareness and raise funds. I’m so grateful to her and those who donated because of her efforts- thank you!

Keep on rolling, Cricket! If you’d like to donate to the care of Cricket who is on various medications and daily therapy you can do so via Furever Dachshund Rescue.

**Crickets wheelchair is custom-made by Eddie’s Wheels.

Stay tuned to meet Peewee and Canelo! Two more dogs recently granted wheelchairs through The Frankie Wheelchair Fund.

Come Meet Peppermint

Come Meet Peppermint
A dachshund nose always knows!

Peppermint (formerly Pepper) was paralyzed and overweight when she came into rescue with Patricia.

They knew she’d eventually need a wheelchair, but first she needed to lose weight.

With the loving care of foster mom, Lori, Peppermint found her girlish figure once again.

And as a reward, a new outfit…this one in the form of a wheelchair, so she could do what doxie’s love to do best, and that is explore, explore, explore.

Here she is at the marina sniffing up all the glorious smells of a crisp, fall day.

Keep on rolling, Peppermint!

Peppermint’s wheelchair paid for courtesy of the Frankie Wheelchair Fund and custom made by Eddie’s Wheels for Pets.

Davey Living the Good Life – Even in His Dog Wheelchair

Davey Living the Good Life - Even in His Dog Wheelchair.

I love getting updates from dogs that I’ve been able to help grant a wheelchair to through the Frankie Wheelchair Fund.

Yesterday I heard from sweet, little Davey. He’s been spending lots of time on the beach with his favorite new banana toy.

All that fresh air, rolling through the sand, and playing with his toy has him zonked out at the end of the day.

Life is good for Davey and this makes my heart very, very happy.

Keep on rolling Davey!

And speaking of helping dogs! Three more dachshunds are currently having their wheelchairs custom made by Eddie’s Wheels for Pets!  The Frankie Wheelchair Fund, in conjunction with The Smoothe Store and their donation to the fund, is enabling us to help these wonderful little dogs. Stay tuned for photos!
