Nugget was abandoned at a veterinarian's office when her family was unable to bear the financial and emotional burden of caring for a handicapped pet. Her veterinarian did not want to give up hope on Nugget and vowed to treat her and find her a new home.
First, Nugget needed a wheelchair to make her mobile again. Without any other means of support to pay for a wheelchair for Nugget, her veterinarian contacted the Handicapped Pets Foundation for assistance.
The Handicapped Pets Foundation was pleased to support the effort to get Nugget rolling again. In addition to getting new wheels, we have also learned that Nugget now has a new family to call her own. Keep on rolling, Nugget!

Eva is a nine month Labrador retriever who was born without fully developed hips. Her veterinarian recommended low impact exercise such as swimming to build Eva's muscles while not bearing too much weight on her weak legs. Since Eva's family does not have a pool, they decided to investigate whether a dog wheelchair could assist Eva. Her veterinarian agreed that it would be a good idea and assist Eva in getting the exercise she needs.
Eva is a faithful companion to her owner - a veteran who recently served two tours in Iraq. Facing financial difficulties and still awaiting compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Eva's owner turned to the Handicapped Pets Foundation for assistance.
The Handicapped Pets Foundation was honored to provide assistance by granting Eva's owner a Walkin' Wheels for Handicapped Pets. Now, she is getting the exercise she needs to maintain strength in her rear legs. Watch Eva take off in her Walkin' Wheels.

Eve, who is almost 80 years old, has raised 26 puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind. Eve had previously cared for Dot from the time she was a puppy until she was old enough to begin her training as a guide dog. Now, after successfully working for seven years as a guide dog, Dot has returned to live with Eve where she has regained her mobility thanks to her Walkin' Wheels dog wheelchair!
Thank you for making Wishbone's wish come true! He is now walking thanks to the support of the Handicapped Pets Foundation. Wishbone was one of several mixed breed puppies in a litter that was surrendered to a local humane society. All of the puppies in the litter were adopted except for Wishbone who was missing his two rear feet. His owners adopted him before he was scheduled to be put to sleep. Wishbone's rear legs were prone to injury because he was dragging himself. His front legs were also beginning to show signs of weakness from the pressure of carrying his full weight.
Miracle has received her mobility Miracle! Thank you so much to everyone who contributed! We are so grateful for your support!
Miracle's family asked us to share the following message of gratitude to our supporters of the Handicapped Pets Foundation:
"We have received Miracle's Walkin' Wheels. Attached is a photo of her very first time with her new freedom! As I write this, she has now been in her chair 4 times and is starting to explore the house. She is fighting a battle with herself not to bunny hop, but she has reverse down pat," Miracle's family wrote about her first day.
"We never would have been able to do this without the wonderful help from the Handicapped Pets Foundation and the wonderful people who gave so Miracle could walk again. What a blessing. I will send more photos in the coming weeks. Well, as soon as the rain lets up and we can walk not swim outside. Thank you again everyone for your support."
"Too Cute" Toot has received her new wheels! Thank you to everyone who contributed to her campaign.
Toot, who is simply too cute for words, had outgrown her first set of wheels that were obtained while she was still a growing puppy. Born with a total of five legs, Toot had to have the two smaller, deformed legs amputated when she was only four months old.
Toot was in search of an adult dog wheelchair that would provide support for her remaining front leg that had been weakened by the additional strain of being a tripod without a wheelchair. Toot also had some weakness in one of her rear legs that increased her need for a new, customized dog wheelchair that would take her through her adult life.
Thank you for supporting Tiki! His fundraising campaign was successful, and he has received a new Walkin' Wheels. Tiki's owner was unable to afford the cost of a dog wheelchair and turned to the Handicapped Pets Foundation for assistance. The family who was struggling to survive on a part-time income is now extremely grateful for assistance in getting their Tiki mobile again!
