Thank YOU Tysons Members
We love to hear from our members about their fur babies and how they are doing in their chairs. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your pictures, videos, and your kind words! We at Tysons love to see your baby gain mobility again.
This is why we do what we do!

Henry
GIZMO TLH 344
Meet Gizmo! Our handsome blue nose pittie with a dwarfism! He is 5 years old now - when he went paralyzed in his hind legs he was only 4 years old. When this happened we spent 24 hours at 3 different vets to try and figure out what had happened to him. He had no injury at the time just wake up at 2 am and couldn’t walk. We went from vet to vet until finally the vets listened to us saying we aren’t putting him to sleep he’s just a baby and he’s our baby! Our vet immediately took him back and started therapy - he got a cold laser therapy at the vet (we now do them at home), he got 11 hyperbaric therapy sessions, he was going 2 times a week to the chiropractor for 4 months, nightly at home therapy of stim therapy and manual manipulation therapy! The entire time he was the goodest boy pet parents could ask for. Now because of Tyson’s he is able to live his very best life and have the ability to stroll around. Having the wheels that are custom to him have made his life so much better is every single way. He sees the wheelchair now - he zooms to the front door and whines until he’s in his chair and outside! Tyson’s have truly given him a new lease on his handi-capable life!!

CASEY BEAR TLH 652
So proud of my big girl and how well she has taken to her wheels. Looking forward to a proper walk out with her
Thank you so much Tysons Love and Hope on Wheels, Founded By Denise Stewart for providing Casey Bear with her new lease of life and Charlotte Erika Walker for all your help, you are all legends.

OLLIE TLH 645
It’s our first few days with the walking wheels. It has given Ollie some renewed independence. I have been having to hold her back end up for weeks to walk, potty and eat. Now she can hang in the yard by herself and get all the sniffs in.
Thank you so much to this organization! You are mending hearts and saving lives.

Summer
SUMMER TLH 667
Hello to all. My summer girl is a 9 year old Boxer that has lived a very active life until a few months back we noticed her activity level started coming to a screeching halt. We noticed her front paws were knuckling and slowly got where she was not able to walk a few steps without falling flat on her face. The last few weeks her mobility has diminished so much we have been having to take her out to potty in a sling. I had been thinking on what our next step would be for Summer to be mobile again. I began to pray on just how I would be able to afford and provide the quad wheelchair that my baby needed. That very night I came across another Facebook group that a lady was having pretty much the same issue my SUMMER girl was having. People were given suggestions on what she should do and that’s were I came across TYSON’S LOVE AND HOPE ON WHEELS that their foundation helps animals in need to be mobile again by providing wheelchairs. I immediately looked up the group and joined!! I give ALL the glory to GOD for leading me to this group and these ANGELS ON EARTH!! These ladies have been so helpful and reassured me that help was on the way and they were gonna do what they could to help SUMMER. After a very quick approval process Summer received her quad wheelchair last Thursday May 23rd.
The last week has been a struggle for both us (for adjustments to fitting her into the chair) and for Summer (to learn how to walk in it and using muscles that haven’t been used in a while). She is a very determined young lady and I know she will learn more and more everyday that she uses it. Her favorite toy is her ball, so us holding the ball out for her to come to has gave her motivation on learning to walk with her new wheels. Going to potty is a different story and I think will take longer. We are very optimistic that she will end up loving her mobility again even if that looks a little different than before.
I am so very thankful for the help TYSON’S LOVE AND HOPE ON WHEELS FOUNDATION has given my family. It feels great to know GOOD PEOPLE still exist on this earth and we feel blessed to be part of their awesome family now.

Gracie
Skippy
HENRY TLH 625
Henry has had his wheels for about couple weeks. He was a little hesitant the first few times but now he’s zooming around the block. This is life changing! After his IVDD surgery and 6 months of physical therapy he’s finally able to be a little more independent. He is thrilled!! Thank you Tysons Love!

I know it will take some time, and a lot of treats , for him to get used to it, but we are so excited to have something like this to help him walk easily again.
We are 𝐒𝐎 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐅𝐔𝐋 to everyone that has helped make this happen!

Culter
Cutler TLH
Thank you to this group for helping my boy Cutler when all hope was lost . You breathed life back into him. Giving him independence again he received a wheel chair and it truly helped he enjoyed life again and ran with his brothers and sister. 5 months more . But suddenly he lost his body functions and 10/12 we had to put him to sleep and our family can't thank you enough for lending us a wheel chair. I am so blessed for this program and hope you continue bless others the way you did him.
--Kathy Jenkins
GRACIE TLH 677
Gracie’s wheels arrived late this week and we are so grateful! This was her first attempt at using her wheels, so happy at how she adapted to them, and of course the hot dog treats added motivation! Thank you so much to this loving group for helping our sweet 10 year old girl!
--Pam Zaprazny
Rousey
ROUSEY TLH 659
We are amazed and so grateful for our first walk with Rousey's new wheels. Thank you Tysons Love and Hope on Wheels, Founded By Denise Stewart and our sponsor. She took to the wheels better than we could have hoped for with lots of treats and positive affirmations along the way. She was ready to go and we could tell the support of the chair was everything to her.She can be very skiddish around wobbly and noisy things. We built the chair a week ago and left it around her to sniff and become familiar with and put treats all over it for her to eat off of before lifting her up and in.

Wrigley
Wrigley TLH 172
Got to the beach today which wouldn't have been possible without this amazing group. Thank you sooooo much for helping us give this sweet boy more great days!!! He's also helping bring awareness to how dogs with these types of disabilities can still thrive. We've had so many people stop us and ask about his wheels, he could be an ambassador.

Louie
LOUIE TLH 689
I just wanted to say that I am beyond grateful for the wonderful people of TLH…my heart has never been so full and I owe it all to you and this wonderful organization
We received our wheel’s yesterday and found this beautiful picture and note from the previous pup also named Louie…I cried my eyes out knowing how much he was loved by his mom
I put the cart together and my Louie tried it on without hesitation (which is a little shocking if u knew this guy)
He did AMAZING for his first try and the smile on his face as my neighbors cheered him on says EVERYTHING
He Absolutely loves going on walks and hasn’t been able to…this cart has given it back to him and I think he knows it!!
Thank You Again TLH

Noah
Noah TLH726
I am absolutely heartbroken. My best friend, The Noah Dog, departed for the Rainbow Bridge this past Monday. I’ve been too devastated to post here. In the end it was the dementia that took my boy. I will be forever grateful to Tysons Love and Hope in Tysons Love and Hope on Wheels, Founded By Denise Stewart for putting my boy in his wheelchair. It extended his quality of life. This is a wonderful community and nonprofit. I will continue to support your cause going forward.
Rest in peace my sweet precious angel.
Noah.

Gizzly
Gizzly TLH969
Hi all, I wanted to say a public HUGE thank you to the amazing admin of Tysons Love and Hope on Wheels, who so generously accepted 12 1/4 year-old Gizmo and the speed on which wheels were organised and sent to him. I bred him and still have his litter sister, Rose, but Gizzy lives with my sister-in-law and family. His symptoms began around 6 months ago - losing control of his rear legs - and we suspect (along with his vet) it's probably DM as he is pain-free. However, he was beginning to really struggle to stand up from lying down, and also get around, and they were having to consider his quality of life and the decision that we all dread...
After a shout out on a DM page, a couple of kind people recommended Tyson's, including a good friend, and after my first post on here, the admin swooped into action, accepted him, and we managed to get him measured and wheels delivered so incredibly quickly!
I thought you might like to see his very first go in his wheels and how happy he is now that he has his freedom back! Also, my nephew's novel approach in showing Gizzy what he had to do!
Honestly, we all can't thank you enough Love from TLH969Gizzy
