CONTENTS About HandicappedPets.com Courtney & Lucy’s Heroic Adventure HandicappedPets.com was created in 2001 to support the caretakers of elderly, injured and handicapped pets. We have all of the products, services and support you’ll need. The site was created by Mark C. Robinson in memory of Mercedes, a slightly epileptic Keeshond who was put to sleep before her time because Mark didn’t know any better and had no way to find out more. Now there’s a way. 9 Our Mission The mission of HandicappedPets.com is to provide products, services and support so that elderly, handicapped, and injured pets can lead happy, healthy, high-quality lives.

Not anymore. We are becoming more aware of the sacredness of all life. We are beginning to understand the power of the loving bond that is created when one living thing cares for another. Our pets have become family members and deserve to be loved, respected, and cherished. The purpose and mission of HandicappedPets.com is to help people learn that there are alternatives to euthanasia. An elderly, disabled, or injured pet can often live a high quality life for many years if they get the little help that they need; diapers, a rear-support leash, or a wheelchair. I created the site in the memory of a Keeshond, Mercedes. She was put to sleep at a vet’s advice after being diagnosed with a mild form of canine epilepsy. Years later, a dear friend, was diagnosed with a mild form of epilepsy for which she takes a pill now and then to completely eliminate all symptoms. The disparity between the two reactions to the same disease was unacceptable. I created the site to give caretakers the information they need to make the difficult, loving decisions that face them. The site is filled with stories of hope and healing as well as the products, services, and support that a caretaker of a handicapped pet needs. The discussion area contains nearly 80,000 messages from people helping one another. The forum is managed by the MBMT (Message Board Management Team) a group of dedicated volunteers who keep the board friendly, informative, and relevant. The gallery has photos and stories submitted by caretakers. Listings of caring vets, animal rehabilitation centers, holistic healers, and animal communicators, and more are all available. Particularly touching to me is the 4th grade teacher, Kathy Barton, in Velma, Oklahoma who introduces her class each year to her handicapped pets and raises money to buy wheelchairs for dogs that they find on the site. Not only are these children learning about compassion for animals, but also about compassion for all life. The most common reaction we get from people when they hear about the site is “If only I had known about you before I put my dog to sleep...” We need to reach people. We need to tell them that there are alternatives. Mark C.

Warmest Regards, 3 SAFETY PRODUCTS 5 Reasons Why Your Dog Should Wear a Pet Safety Belt. 1.DISTRACTION Pets can be a distraction when they are not properly restrained and interfere with a driver’s ability to control the vehicle. Help prevent driver distraction by keeping your pet safe and secure with a seatbelt. Now Only $19.95 2.IMPACT Pets that are not wearing seatbelts can become projectiles in the event of a car accident. Even slamming on the brakes could cause your pet to become a projectile. Your pet could become severely injured and/or cause severe harm to another person upon impact or by being thrown from the vehicle. 3.CONTROL Even the most well trained pets could potentially jump from the car window or car door in pursuit of another animal or in anticipation of their destination. Keep your pet safely in the car for the duration of your trip by using a safety belt. 4.COMFORT It is simply more enjoyable to travel when everyone in the vehicle, both people and pets, have their own personal space. Buckle up your pet for everyone’s comfort. 5.EMERGENCY When pets are in car accidents, they can become confused, fearful or aggressive. Such traumatic responses could result in pets running away in fear or becoming aggressive while rescue personnel are responding. Use a pet safety belt to keep your dog restrained. Pet Safety is No Accident HandicappedPets.com wants you and your pet to be safe while traveling on the road. As an added incentive for owners to buckle up their pets for safety, we have reduced the price of our pet safety belts. • • Available in sizes S – XL Leash included • • Adjustable for a perfect fit Optional seatbelt clip available We hope that you will take advantage of this special pricing to ensure that both you and your canine companion are protected in the event of an accident.

Should an accident occur, the pet safety belt will also keep your companion securely in place; thereby reducing the likelihood of injury and ensuring that your pet does not wander away from the accident scene. Please see page 14 for sizing chart. Buckle up for your pet’s sake and yours! Thank you so much for the pet safety belts.

HandicappedPets.com (888) 811-PETS (7387) First Ever Courtney Dunning and her dog Lucy pictured here at the summit of Mount Washington on August 18, 2010 after climbing the 7.6 mile Mount Washington Auto Road. The hike began at 5:28 a.m. and was completed six hours and two minutes later at 11:30 a.m. Lucy, a 4-year old mixed breed that was rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico after being paralyzed in an auto collision, is the first ever dog in a wheelchair to reach the summit of the highest peak in the Northeast. Lucy is a very high energy, active dog that has been using her Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair since 2008. HandicappedPets.com donated the Walkin’ Wheels to Lucy shortly after she was adopted and arrived in New Hampshire. The company learned that she had a used dog wheelchair that had been custom made for another dog and did not fit her well. With the fully adjustable Walkin’ Wheels, Lucy was immediately more comfortable and mobile with a dog wheelchair that fit her properly. A Paralyzed Dog in a Walkin’ Wheels Wheelchair climbed Mt. Washington Lucy demonstrates how handicapped pets can continue to lead happy, healthy, active lives. The Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair allows dogs to do more than simply survive injuries that were once considered life ending. With appropriate veterinary care and physical training, dogs in wheelchairs can thrive and even reach high levels of athletic achievement. Since her historic climb, Lucy is continuing to lead an active life with her family. Now six years old, she regularly takes to the sidewalks and trails in her Walkin’ Wheels and also enjoys games of fetch and time spent chasing squirrels. Lucy has her own page on Facebook where you can watch a video and see pictures of her journey at Facebook.com/DogWheelchairLucy.

It is the only dog wheelchair of its kind. Made of extruded aluminum, this versatile easy-to-use dog wheelchair is convenient, ships same day, comes fully assembled, and adjusts with the snap of a button for a perfect fit -- every time. Custom made dog wheelchairs have been around for decades. If made correctly, a custom made dog wheelchair will fit precisely and function well. However, there are a number of limitations to custom made dog wheelchairs that can impact a dog’s quality of life. Since custom dog wheelchairs require complex measurements and time for construction, a dog cannot be back on his or her feet as quickly as possible. Similarly, if the dog’s health or body size changes, a custom made cart cannot be adjusted to accommodate these changes. Custom dog wheelchairs are also cumbersome and frequently require complex disassembly in order to fit into the trunk of a car and cannot be easily transported or stored. Dog wheelchairs that are custom made for a particular dog often cannot be returned to the manufacturer nor can they be easily adjusted to fit a different size dog. The lack of adjustability is particular problematic for a growing dog with mobility problems. A paralyzed puppy could require three or four different custom built wheelchairs before it becomes an adult dog. Walkin’ Wheels, the leader in dog wheelchairs, solves ALL of these problems in a sporty, convenient, great value piece of equipment. Adjustable – The wheelchair adjusts, without tools, to fit any size dog. Fast – Ships same day. Next day delivery available in most areas. Easy – Instruction Book, DVD, and call-in support is always available. Folds Flat – So it can be carried easily. Even comes with a tote bag. Guaranteed – Our liberal Return Policy lets you send it back if it doesn’t work for any reason. Looks Great – Professionally extruded aluminum, Bu Nowy available in blue and pink. Your dog will wear it proudly. Easy to Service – All parts are easily replaceable so the dog wheelchair can last a lifetime. Holds Value – When you no longer need it, you can resell it or donate it for use on any other dog. Since it was introduced in 2008, the Walkin’ Wheels has become the world leader in dog wheelchairs. Walkin’ Wheels – How it Works. There are two styles of Walkin’ Wheels – Walkin Wheels Mini: Dachshunds and dogs weighing approx. 20 lbs or less. Walkin Wheels: for dogs weighing approx. 20 lbs or more. Both begin with a universal frame which is adjustable in height, width, and length. Then, snap-in wheels from 4” to 16” allow a perfect fit for all sizes. Front Wheel Attachment: This attractive and fully supportive set of caster wheels can be purchased immediately when ordering a Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair or added on later as the dog’s need for front leg support increases. For rehabilitative use, the front wheels can be detached from the frame as a dog recovers and no longer requires four wheeled support. The larger wheels come in foam and pneumatic. Foam tires are for general use. Pneumatic, air filled tires are great for off-road, rough terrain, and heavy-duty use. When the tires wear out, just snap in a new set.

Little Dog, Big Personality Digit is a little miracle. The Walkin’ Wheels Mini dog wheelchair has been a blessing. At first, he was a little freaked out, but when he started moving, his tail went straight up and wagged. On his second day, he chased his toy! After three weeks, Digit met us one morning standing on his own and wagging his tail! His condition has improved greatly. He is still a little wobbly, but he is now walking, running, doing his business and trying to have his way with the cats. I fully credit the Walkin’ Wheels, a super veterinarian, and tons of love and patience with helping him recover. HandicappedPets.com (888) 811-PETS (7387) walkin’ wheels PRODUCTS Life Doesn’t Have to be a Drag! He got really wild in his wheels, chased a cat and did some drifting in the gravel. We put him in his Walkin’ Wheels for some for exercise, but he won’t quit trying to walk on his own. We are hoping he will not need them soon, and maybe we can pass them on to another dog that could use them. We are praying hard for a full recovery. We did not have much hope when we first found out he couldn’t walk. Watching him pull himself and drag his back end was heartbreaking. Seeing him pick up and fight the way he has, has turned it all to joy! Digit and his wheels have given us lots of hope and inspiration. Thank you so much for checking in with him. It means the world to him and to his humans! 11 incontinence PRODUCTS Does your pet have problems with having accidents around the house?

The Fold of the Flank (FOF) is a thin piece of skin that connects the dog’s upper rear leg to his body. Look at the webbing between your thumb and index finger. This skin is very similar to the fold of flank (FOF). Note: If your dog is overweight, then the fold of flank will probably hang down from his body, making the fold of flank measurement shorter than it really is. You will need to try and move the flank up to a normal position, to get an accurate measurement. Dog Wheelchairs range in price from $249.00 to $499. Ground Shipping costs from $20 - $40. Order early and we’ll ship same day. The cost depends on how tall the dog is and whether you choose the optional pneumatic air tires.

The Handicapped Pets Foundation was created to help people who could not afford mobility equipment for their pets. Applications are accepted from all around the world and are approved on the basis of demonstrated financial need. Dog wheelchairs and other mobility equipment are purchased from manufacturers that are willing to provide the foundation a significant discount of the product. Grants of wheelchairs have been made to dogs, cats, rabbits and more! Donations can be made to a specific pet currently in need or to support any future grant of mobility equipment for an applicant in need. Donations received in the name of a particular pet will be directed to Help that pet until the level of support required for fully sponsoring that animal is reached. Should donations beyond the level of support required to sponsor a particular pet be received in his or her name, those contributions will be directed to others that have been approved into the program. For Eva Read all about the animals that the foundation has helped at www.hpets.org Since Eva's family does not have a pool, they decided to investigate whether a dog wheelchair could assist Eva. Her veterinarian agreed that it would be a good idea and would help Eva get the exercise she needed. We welcome your support and thank you for making a difference in the lives of handicapped pets! Eva is a nine month Labrador retriever who was born without fully developed hips. Her veterinarian recommended low impact exercise such as swimming to build Eva's muscles while not bearing too much weight on her weak legs. The Handicapped Pet Foundation was incorporated as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) so that people who contribute time and money know exactly how their resources are being used. It is a safe, taxdeductible way that you can help. Eva is a faithful companion to her owner - a veteran who recently served two tours in Iraq. Facing financial difficulties and still awaiting compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Eva's owner turned to the Handicapped Pets Foundation for assistance. The Handicapped Pets Foundation was honored to provide assistance by granting Eva's owner a Walkin' Wheels for Handicapped Pets. Now, she is getting the exercise she needs to maintain strength in her rear legs.
