Disabled Dogs For Adoption
posted on Jul 09 by amelia in the Advocacy, Disability News, Fun, Interesting Links, Opinion and Discussion, Spinal Cord Injury categoryThere are many pets in the world that are disabled and need loving homes. Thanks to places like PetswithDisabilities.org, many of these animals with blindness, amputation, paralysis, or other various conditions get a second chance. These animals are usually difficult to find homes for as they require extra care, time, and sometimes money. It takes a strong person with a good heart to live up to the challenge, but the love and affection received from these animals is often much more rewarding. Are you this person?
These animals are available for adoption nearly all over the United States.

Hi Tracy! I forwarded your information to PWD, so they should be in touch with you soon! Thanks to both of you for having such big hearts!

P.S. We would love to do a follow-up story if you should happen to adopt an animal!

Hi Amelia, Great name! My only child I named Amelia! I have a back disability but can get around well enough to love and care for my wonderful Dachshund Pomeranian cross who is almost 3. I know she would welcome a new friend to our home. I am interested in adopting a dog who has a disability and needs a loving home. I would like to learn more. I live in northern NH on a dead end private dirt road in the woods. Please forward my email to the folks who handle this kind of adoption process. Thank you , Phyllis
