Walkin’ Pets was started in 2001 because there was a need to preserve the health and happiness of aging, injured, and disabled pets. Since then, we have partnered with over 300 different rescue organizations and sanctuaries to get these animals that are struggling with mobility back on their paws, providing them with independence in order to keep them happy and healthy.
At Walkin’ Pets, we strive to make life easier for animals and their caretakers. We know that it can be challenging to find forever homes for animals that may have special needs, and we are here to work hand in hand with rescue organizations to ensure that the animals in your care are getting the support and tools that they need to have the highest quality of life possible.
We are here to help your organization! You can reach our Rescue Outreach and Support team at 866-578-2926 or email rescues@walkinpets.com!

AFFILIATE PROGRAM
We offer rescues the option to register for our affiliate program, where we will provide you with a clickable logo or banner to place on your website. This can make the ordering process much easier for your adopters, and it will earn you a commission for every Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair purchased through your link. You will be supplied with a range of banners and text links that will redirect your website visitors to the Walkin’ Pets website, and our affiliate software will track if they make a purchase. This can help in any fundraising efforts that your organization is participating in. Sign up here:

SENIOR DOG IS RESCUED & GIFTED NEW WHEELS!
Helen rescued 10-year-old Jupiter, who was diagnosed with heart failure, hypothyroidism, and was dealing with a prior ACL tear. Helen is passionate about providing support and a loving home for senior dogs who are in hospice care and will do anything in her power to enhance their quality of life. She noticed that Jupiter was experiencing hind leg weakness and decided to fit him for a wheelchair so that he would once again have the opportunity explore and adventure in the outdoors.
YOUNG PUP LEFT WITH BROKEN BACK FROM CAR ACCIDENT WALKS AGAIN
Young pup Leah was hit by a car and left on the side of the road in Tijuana, leaving her with a broken back and a shattered pelvis. She was rescued by Amazing Strays Rescue and is living her best life with foster parents Elise and Rafael in San Diego. Regarding Leah’s progress, Elise says, “She can now walk in the wheelchair, and is independent again! She uses it as if they are her own back legs!”
BLIND DOG NAVIGATES SURROUNDINGS WITH HELP OF HALO
6-year-old chocolate lab Storm is blind, but does not let anything slow him down. Walkin’ Pets worked with Pope Memorial SPCA to connect with Storm, and outfit him with a Blind Dog Halo. He can now confidently navigate his surroundings!
Featured Non-Profit
John Cox is a retired deputy of Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office and Founder of Ruck9, a non-profit organization that raises funds to put disabled animals in wheelchairs. In one year, he has already helped 64 dogs, 3 cats, and 1 goat find the freedom of walking again! Cox says,
“Our mission is to help as many animals as possible get wheelchairs and help them feel like they are the animal they are supposed to be. All proceeds are just going to be able to put more and more wheelies on our ‘wheelie warriors.’”
