Hillsboro, OR • Oregon Friends of Shelter Animals
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!"
Millie
Millie is a 2-year-old Chihuahua Mix in Hillsboro, OR, who needs $490 for Evaluation and Standard Wheel Cart.
Hillsboro, OR • Oregon Friends of Shelter Animals
Millie, or 'Super Mom' as we call her, was found in the bushes on a busy street in central California with one baby (Willie) and a broken back. She had been hit by a car and had Willie under that bush and he was 3 days old when they were found by our rescue partner. Luckily, Millie and Willie were sent to us for treatment and to find their forever homes. Millie is a total LAP DOG! She lives in a foster home with other dogs and, while she gets along fine with them, she really wants to be near her person soaking up all the love and attention! She scoots herself around some but we just know she'll be doing zoomies with her person once she gets her wheels! We are a 501(c)3 foster-based rescue organization. We try really hard not to say 'no' when our rescue partners in California call us with severely injured animals. We incur extra costs with these animals, but they are so worth it. Millie needs to find her forever happy home. Dr. Mandi Blackwelder at Healing Arts Animal Care in Beaverton has been evaluating Millie. The x-rays of her back indicated that to fix the broken and displaced L2 vertebrae would be way too much trauma on her little body. She is a perfect candidate for some awesome wheels and she SO deserves to have the best in life! Millie is SO special because of all the trauma she's been through in her short life. We call her Super Mom because of how brave she must have been to be hit by a car while pregnant, live under that bush paralyzed until she gave birth, and then take such good care of Willie while having a broken back.
Ashe
Ashe is a three-year-old Chihuahua Mix in Hillsboro, OR, who needs $685 for a doggie wheelchair.
Hillsboro, OR • Oregon Friends of Shelter Animals
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!"
