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.

Celebrating Dogs in Wheelchairs Because Paralyzed Dogs Deserve a Chance at Life

Posted by Barbara Techel

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.**
