This is the story of how Pumpkin and her family turned tragedy into opportunity. 💙✨
 
"We adopted Pumpkin when she was 8 weeks old, and we as a family instantly fell in love with her. ❤️ Pumpkin couldn't use her back legs and had no control of her bladder or bowels. Her story went viral and people donated thousands of pounds for her treatment. Unfortunately an MRI scan revealed her spine and legs had been broken, and her spinal cord severed. We were devastated. The specialist said Pumpkin would never walk again. Pumpkin isn't in pain, she is paralyzed from the waist down and also double incontinent. Pumpkin is loved by us her family so much and we will do anything for her.
 
Pumpkin's life will be on wheels. ♿️ She is such a happy determined girl, nothing holds her back. Her life is full of adventures and happiness. She is a disabled dog advocate and a therapy dog that spreads joy and happiness wherever she goes. We visit care homes, schools, universities and work places to educate the public about disabled animals and kindness to animals.
 
In June 2022 I set up a registered charity called Pumpkin and Friends. Slowly we are changing the world. Desperately raising awareness for disabled animals and helping families of disabled animals. ❤️ We provide disabled animals with the equipment they need to give them their mobility & freedom back. Wheelchairs, Harnesses and strollers. I personally give this charity 100%, including my blood sweat and tears! We have changed over 800+ animals life's, supporting families financially & emotionally.
 
Having a disability isn't a death sentence. It's the beginning of a brand new adventure. 💖"
