With all of the technology today, animals that never would have been able to live a normal life even 50 years ago are among the happiest fur babies out there. With advanced wheelchairs and custom prosthetic legs, animals with paralysis or amputations run just as fast as totally healthy dogs.
When Daisy was only two months old, an animal control officer found her in the streets of California. It's likely that her owner dumped her on the side of the road when they realized that she had a congenital disorder that made it hard for her to walk. Her elbows, right shoulder, and hips are all permanently dislocated as a result of the deformity she was born with.
Luckily, A Home 4Ever Rescue stepped in just in time to save her from being euthanized at the shelter. Not long after that, she found her loving forever home, where she learned to hop around without the use of any wheelchair or prosthetics.
However, her vet said that that was putting too much stress on Daisy's spine, so now she switches between a wheelchair and custom prosthetic legs, depending on what kind of activity she is enjoying. Her mom says that both help her get around for longer walks, and that the two methods offer two different ranges of mobility.
It took a bit to learn how to use her "leggies," but once she got the hang of it, there was no stopping her! Thank goodness this little lady got a second chance at life!
