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. To learn more about the fund and/or to donate please visit here: http://nationalwalknrolldogday.com/donate-to-the-frankie-wheelchair-fund/

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!

Thank you for sharing and subscribing to my blog updates.

A Wheelie Dog Gallery of Photos Sure to Make You Smile

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!

Meet Rhy. Soon to be Rolling on Wheels!

Meet Rhy. Soon to be Rolling on Wheels!
Rhy

Seems Rhy is tired of being measured and just wants to get things over with so her new wheels can be built! What a great shot her owner caught of her yawning, don’t you think? It wasn’t even planned!

But soon enough, she will indeed be rolling. The Frankie Wheelchair Fund is happy to provide the funds for a “front wheel” drive cart for this pretty, little girl. Rhy makes the 56th dog we’ve helped become mobile.

She has a deformed front leg and with her advancing age, she simply can’t get around anymore or go for walks, which she loves.

But soon enough, this pretty snowflake will be rolling down the sidewalk. Stay tuned!
