About this campaign

Waggle and the Oregon Friends of Shelter Animals (OFOSA) hope you can help Ashe get the new set of wheels he needs!

The rescue group doesn't know what happened to Ashe before they saved him, but after extensive testing and visits to specialists, it appears Ashe has a neurological condition, and he can't use his back legs. But Ashe is a determined, tenacious young dog, and getting him a doggie wheelchair will help him live a happy life.

"He can use his front legs and pull himself," Anne H., with OFOSA, tells Waggle. "He's got a spunky attitude. After doing some underwater therapy, they determined he would really do well with a wheel cart because clearly, he wants to be able to get around."

The rescue initially saved Ashe from a shelter, and the group feared because he was injured, Ashe would likely be euthanized. He has been living in a foster home where he won everyone's hearts. Dr. Mandi Blackwelder at Healing Arts Animal Care fitted Ashe for his much-needed wheels. Once he gets them and adjusts, he will be up for adoption in the Portland, Oregon, area.

"He just looks so cute, and he's got a lot of life left. So let's give him the best chance at enjoying life," Anne says. "We are a 501c3 nonprofit foster-based animal rescue. We like to help medically fragile animals heal and find their forever homes. We would love help paying for Ashe's wheels so he can hit the road to his new home!"
