Joyce Darrell and her husband Michael Dickerson founded the Pets with Disabilities organization. The story of the dogs, Duke and Misty has reached thousands of people worldwide and has helped raise awareness about disabled pets. The organization and website have provided support and information to people whose pets suffer from birth defects or have become disabled due to illness or injury. Pets with Disabilities along with Deweys Wheelchairs for Dogs have funded the purchase of many wheelchairs for homeless pets in need. Pets with Disabilities has been instrumental in helping shelters place their disabled animals into loving and caring homes. We have given a voice to and hope for disabled animals!
Duke, the founding dog of Pets with Disabilities, broke his back, while puppy playing. Euthanasia was not an option, so we elected to get Duke a wheelchair and to give him a job to help other dogs and cats find homes that are disabled. He has become a great spokesdog for his cause!
Misty was born with no hip sockets. As a puppy she was rescued from the streets of Harrison, NY. Misty was the shelter mutt for over five years at the Westchester County Humane Society. She finally found her forever home with Pets with Disabilities.
Disabled animals show a special kind of devoted loyalty to their caregivers so if you have room in home and in your heart adopt a disabled animal, it just might be the best pet you will ever have.
Thank you for your support!
