Pet wheels - the gift of mobility
August 15, 2010Red is a "runt" pit that was rescued from a closet, locked there by
youngsters who tried to hide him from their parents, Red still can't
stand being locked up. The family that rescued Red has three other dogs
all rescues, all hurt in some way; but Red doesn't mind he has brothers
and sisters.
Now another situation threatens to lock Red up once again, Red has a
debilitating arthritis and a cracked vertebra that may condemn Red to
isolation from family walks and backyard romps; Red needs a wheel cart.
Red's owners contacted For Paws Hospice looking to our Cart Share program called Bosco's wheels for help.
Bosco's Wheels is a program that donates used carts to families like
Red's who care about their animals but can't afford the $300 - $500 cost
of a new cart.
For Paws pays all the expenses to refurbish used carts and fit the
patient as well as the cost of rehabilitation care and shipping. The
cart is free to the family to use as long as it's needed and then it's
returned to For Paws Hospice and made available to another needy pet.
Bosco's list has five carts, three are in use and two available,
unfortunately Red needs a cart just a little smaller than the two on
hand.
If you have a cart sitting idle and could donate it to Red or any of the
other dogs waiting for wheels please contact us at
ForPawsHospice@hotmail.com or call 727.639.9285.
Your gift of mobility can change a life.
