Tony is a six-year-old Miniature Poodle in Hillsboro, OR, who needs $600 for a doggie wheelchair.

Tony has had an incredible journey and needs your assistance to take his next steps toward happiness.

This adorable dog was rescued from the streets of Taiwan! He now lives in a foster home in the United States. Tony has no feeling in his back legs and needs a doggie cart to get around. Oregon Friends of Shelter Animals (OFOSA) is trying to help make the Minature Poodle's wish for some new wheels come true.

"We are not sure how he became paralyzed, but he's a very determined little boy and engages with the world quite well," Anne H. with the group tells Waggle. "Tony is a happy, cuddly teddy bear. He loves to meet new people and animal friends. He never gives up and is so brave. He is persistent and loves to engage with the world around him."

Tony received an assessment at Healing Arts Animal Care and was found to be a perfect candidate for a wheel cart to help him get around and live his best life. "He loves to go! He's got lots of socializing and loving to do. His wheels will make his quality of life even better in his forever home," Heather says.

The nonprofit organization's budget is stretched thin because the group takes on many animals abandoned due to COVID and pet owners' financial constraints. The group hopes Waggle's generous community will donate to help Tony get his "new ride," which will be his key to happiness. "This little guy is just so courageous and never lets his disability slow him down," Heather adds. "He's got such a great smile and sweet disposition. He has such a zest for life. He makes everyone around him want to try harder and be happy. He's definitely one of our heroes!"
