Holly was found in someone’s front yard, unable to walk, at only two months old. She was later diagnosed with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, aka Wobbly Cat Syndrome. The clinic tried for four months to find a rescue that would take her or an adopter for her. Finally, a clinic staff member shared Holly Hun’s story in a Facebook group where her new mom fell in love! Holly cannot stand or walk, but that doesn’t stop her from living life to the fullest.
Holly got her wheels about a year ago. Her full support cart has changed her life by giving her the ability to get up off the floor and enjoy cruising around like her feline siblings. Holly gets excited when we get her cart out for her. Her Walkin’ Wheels cart has brought a new level of enjoyment to her life; for that, her family will be forever grateful!
Bay Lee has always been an incredibly active dog. She began to have trouble walking and was diagnosed with IVDD. Once she got her Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair, she was unstoppable from the first moment! She had back surgery in February. Following surgery, Bay Lee had retained motor function in both of her hind limbs, but required support. Two weeks post op, Bay could walk…with help… and very little knuckling.
Now eight months post-op. Bay Lee has come a long way, and her prognosis continues to be positive. She has bad days and she has great days. On the bad days, she is stiff and has issues walking. She sits down, and her back right leg flies up. When she is pottying, the leg thumps the ground uncontrollably. Some of this is the arthritis… and some of it is the IVDD as she still has several disc protrusions in her spine. On the great days, she is able to walk quite normally with the help of her Walkin’ Wheels and is her energetic self.
Rio and Alfie were both diagnosed with stage 5 IVDD in 2021, which left them both paralyzed. Not knowing each other before, Rio and Alfie bonded through sharing tips, tricks, and lots of support through the hardest times. Almost a year later, these IVDD Warriors are living their best lives, visiting their favorite place, the beach, and making lots of wheelie good friends along the way!
Antonia was an agile and athletic German Shepherd who loved swimming in the sea or lake. Before a series of health problems, Antonia was going to be trained as a rescue dog for the German Red Cross.
As she got older, she developed hip problems and two vestibular syndromes that left her unable to walk on her own. Her wheelchair allowed Antonia to be in the middle of everything, spend time with her family, and enjoy long walks. With her wheelchair’s support, she was able to live a happy and active life.
Donnie, a Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, was diagnosed with DM at 8 year old. His family was devastated when Degenerative Myelopathy took away the use of his back legs. His Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair made all the difference. “The wheels helped Donnie to walk better and it made it easier to care for him. Donnie loved to play fetch with his tennis ball and the wheels helped Donnie to do that again! For an additional 8 months Donnie was able to live life closer to how he used to before DM. Using the Walkin’ Wheels, Donnie got a chance to hike with us and play in the snow for the first time too! And best of all he was able to get comfortable again while using the bathroom outside. His wheels have given him so much more time, independence, and happiness.”
After battling DM for close to two years, Donnie crossed the rainbow bridge in September 2022.
Mily was born in 2005 on the street in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. She has had numerous health scares over the years, including epileptic seizures, cancer, and mobility loss as she got older. Her adopted mom told Mily that she would never be alone again and promised they would always be together. Mily’s mom promised to be faithful in good times and bad, in sickness and health, and thus love and respect her every day of Mily’s life.
Duke became paralyzed very suddenly in January 2022 due to IVDD. As soon as Duke was put in his wheels he took to them straight away. He ran in them the first time he wore them. It was at this moment his family knew we had made the right decision for him. He loves his Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair and has an indoor scooter too!
Duke’s family says, “The wheels have totally transformed his quality of life he loves getting out and about in them, he makes everyone smile when he’s out and gets a lot of attention from people who like to stop, give him fuss and ask about his wheels. It is surprising to hear lots of families who have animals who would benefit from wheels for all different reasons.”
