Another Dachshund Up and Rolling – thanks to The Frankie Wheelchair Fund

Posted October 3, 2014 by Barbara Techel

Handsome Fritz makes 31 dogs helped to date to gain their freedom in mobility thanks to The Frankie Wheelchair Fund.

Fritz is five years old and though he didn’t take right away to his wheelchair, he is now rolling full speed ahead. His mom even shared with me that she had a hard time capturing a good photo of him because he now does not sit still!

Music to my ears and love to my heart knowing this little guy is back to doing all the doggie things he did before.

Please join me in saying: Keep on rolling, Fritz!!

Meet Davey: The 30th Dog Granted a Dog Wheelchair through The Frankie Wheelchair Fund

Posted September 13, 2014 by Barbara Techel

Another happy, happy day here at Joyful Paws headquarters! Meet Davey – the 30th paralyzed dog The Frankie Wheelchair Fund recently granted a wheelchair.

Davey was with Oregon Dachshund Rescue – but not for long before his new family came along to adopt him. And you know what is so great? Davey has a new brother that looks just like him in that he too has wheels!

This is Mickey!

What a sweet and inspirational site it will be to see these two handsome wheelie fellows rolling down the street, don’t you think?

These two are in excellent care with their mom, BeBe who loves and adores these special dogs. I think she is pretty special too for not only caring for one, but now two!
