Frank's Fund

Update (July 20, 2020)

Frank is now at home and has been given some better news! His prognosis is improving and now he can look forward to daily therapy sessions and lots of vet visits.  He has regained a bit of deep feeling in his back paws and sure didn't like the vet's test pinches on his toes!  Still not a lot of movement in his hind legs and troubles going to the bathroom, but every day he's seeming a bit more like our old, fun-loving Frank. 

Stay tuned for more updates as Frank continues his healing journey.  The next couple of weeks will be very important to his longer-term abilities!


Everyone's favourite wiener-dog, Frank, is facing some life-threatening and sudden health challenges.

On Sunday, July 12  Frank started unexpectedly and unexplainably experiencing a lack of function in his hind legs that progressively got worse to the point he is no longer able to use or feel his back legs.  Due to the loss of sensation and medical complications,  Frank also is having difficulty being able to go to the bathroom without help.

On Wednesday, July 15th,  Frank headed to Saskatoon for an assessment with specialists, who have given him a 50/50 chance of recovery to his normal self - but not without significant surgery.  The journey ahead for Frankie will be long and we hope our favourite pooch is able to return to his tail-wagging and fun-loving self.

All of this was extremely unexpected for his Fur Mom & Dad, Katie and Braden - who are both Teachers and off for the summer months now.   The surgery fees are high and there will be costs going forward once we can hopefully get Frank on the road to recovery. 

This campaign is to help out with the cost if you are able, as every little bit would help alleviate the stress that financial burden of care is putting on top of worrying about Frank's outcomes and quality of life ahead. 

Everyone send pawsitive thoughts Frank's way, and thank you for your help.
