Blue and Spirit have a baby brother! A BIG baby
brother.(He is only three months old and is getting huge!) Safari
is a Catahoula Leopard Dog and is deaf! I am sending a picture of
him with Santa. Blue has already taught him to use the pet door. He and
Blue (who is deaf and blind) are very smart! I would recommend to anyone
who loves animals to adopt a deaf dog. I found Safari on the deaf
dog site and adopted him from a breeder in south FL. He belongs to
my children, Arielle and Sierra and my foster son Marlo.

Koji |
Koji is 10 years old and had
her front leg amputated 4 months ago (October 2002) because of a nerve
sheath tumor in her brachial plexus. When we first got the terrible news,
we weren't sure that putting her through such invasive surgery was the
best choice. So I searched the web for information and came to Kissy's
story on this website. It was exactly what we needed to read, and it
prompted our decision to go ahead with the surgery. We could not be
happier with the results. Three weeks after the surgery Koji started to
walk again, and now she can run and play just like old times. Best of all,
it's the first time she is pain-free in over a year. Thanks to HandicappedPets.com and Kissy, Koji has more time left on this planet and
we are all so thankful!

I adopted Blue from Twyla's Friends Rescue and he is
a very special member of our family. He is a lethal white Aussie
and is both blind and deaf. He can see shadows out of one eye in
certain lights. He is very intelligent and living with him is not
much different from living with our sighted dogs. We love him very
much and are very grateful to Twyla's Friends and Blue's foster parents
for letting us adopt him. Here is another picture of Blue with our
Husky Spirit.

This is Sweet Pea. She was
rescued from a mass mailing facility in Compton by a guard who works
there. She has a broken spine at L5 that is healing at a 45 degree angle.
She has limited use of her hind legs and is incontinent. Aside from
radical surgery to re-break and straighten her spine, there is nothing
that the vets can do for her. She is a wonderful little girl, and is about
4 months old. I am her foster mom, and rescue for a
non-profit cat rescue group called People & Cats Together.

Eddie was abandoned by his mom a couple of
days after he was born with a congenital birth defect (no right eye and no
right nostril). He is also blind in his left eye due to an opacity. We
hand raised him from 3 or 4 days of age and he is doing just wonderfully.
He is 11 weeks old now and has developed into quite the inspiration for us
both. Your website and the people I've met on here have helped us get
through the initial toughness of hand raising and orphan as well as
dealing with his special needs as a handicapped pet. Thank you for that. |

Weaver is a spunky cat that was born with
various birth defects and cannot use her rear legs or go to the bathroom
on her own. She is almost two years old and is head of the house.
She is extremely active and loves to play ball. She is my
inspiration.

Legume was incontinent
secondary to a spinal break just above his tail.
Despite this he was a happy,
bouncy, fun loving kitten. Please go to
bendy's website to learn more
about him!

Kissy is ten years old and
lives in Norway. Two summers ago, she began to limp and it steadily got
worse, until her front leg was useless. The only
option was to amputate, so we
travelled to a Neurology spesialist in England, where Kissys leg was
amputated at the Queen Mother Hospital, which
is part of the Royal
Veterinary College. Her leg was amputated just over a year ago, the
diagnosis being a brachial plexus tumour - a tumour in the
nerves in her left shoulder.
She is equally active with just three legs and manages to run and jump as
she used to when she had four legs. She is a very
good example that handicapped
dogs can have a very good quality of life. I feel honoured and priveliged
to have her. |

| Thank you for providing
the message board on your website. It's a great resource for me regarding
my special needs Sheba (cat). And, gives me the opportunity to give back
to others the knowledge I've accumulated. A
while back you were looking for pics of handicapped pets for your site - I
finally got a digital camera and thought you might want to consider
Sheba's picture

I am the
owner of a handicapped pet. She is very tiny, only 2 pounds. She was
picked up and dropped by a bird of prey. she had a compression fracture of
her spine. She is walking, however, she has been having trouble with her
legs folding up on her. She goes to the bathroom by herself, and is doing
good. I think she will need a cart as she gets older. but she needs a very
light weight, and small one. She is tiny. She is part Yorkshire terrier.
my new email address is not this one, It is berdlady2@charter.net
. Thanks, Lisa |

Hi,
This is Tarzan, our 4 month old
English Mastiff. He was born with a unformed leg. He gets around fine,
and can run with the best of them. He is the love of our life.

We just wanted to let you know that Tippy
took his first steps in his new chair today (we'll never forget the day
that's for sure (Tax Day LOL)). Chris Stevens from the Tail Wagon and
also Mixed Up Mutts is the most wonderful person.
Mark I really want people to know just how
much Cris cares and get the word out on his company and I know you are
the man
Enclosed is Tippy's first walk with
his Grandma. Thanks again for your site and all the information we
receive from it.

He is a picture of Rocket. He is a cocker
spaniel who was handicapped at age 4. He is 6 now. He has a great
disposition and strong will. |
I'm submitting a pic of
two of our handicapped pets. The white cat is "Smudge", he
was abused and sodomized by someone with an object. He's had
extensive colon surgery to save his life and now "dribbles"
everywhere. The little puppy is "Nichole",, she was bitten
in the head by her daddy-dog and suffered brain damage. She is now
blind in one eye, but she seems fine in all other respects. They are
living here, at the ThunderWolf Animal Sanctuary. |

12 weeks old, blind, needs a good home.

Email the pet's picture and a line or two about the pet and I'll post it
