My journey began when I rescued a tiny 5lb chihuahua named Poppit. She has bad hips and pops around when she walks—hence her name! Watching Poppit struggle with mobility opened my eyes to the challenges faced by small and senior dogs, and inspired me to take action. I am now using Poppit as my prototype to develop custom-fit, comfortable wheelchairs and walking assistance devices for dogs like her.

My goal is to make these mobility solutions accessible and free for rescues and agencies that help dogs recuperate and find loving homes. While I hope to help larger dogs in the future, right now I am focused on creating products for small dogs, ensuring each one is unique, comfortable, and effective. I am also eager to network with veterinarians to find the best ways to make these solutions truly life-changing.

The funds raised will go directly toward purchasing the materials and machines needed to create these products, as well as covering travel expenses so I can meet with rescues, connect with veterinary professionals, and build relationships in the community. With your support, I can launch this compassionate project and help more dogs like Poppit find comfort, mobility, and a second chance.
