Nico's first steps in a HandicappedPets.com Dog Wheelchair.
Marvin, a rescued Lab from R.I. donates wheelchair to Nico, a paralyzed Boxer in Revere, MA. Nico, a paraplegic after a stroke takes his first steps in over a year.
HandicappedPets.com and Marvin, a beautiful and happy 8 year old black lab, and his owner, Dr. EJ Finnochio from the RISPCA donate a cart to Nico, a happy 12 year old Boxer who still tries to chase the
neighborhood dogs and cats, even though he has paraplegia in his rear legs.

Nico, paralyzed Boxer
Viewing this actually brought a tear to my eye. We are so happy that we can help and look forward to who will be our next recipient. Thank you and Handicapped Pets for being there.
Always,
Dr.F & Marvin - Rhode Island SPCA
He suffered a spinal cord stroke, (F.C.E.) one year ago, and has been
undergoing physical therapy for 2 months.
Nico’s physical therapist, Ann Beth Chinchillo, PT,CCRP (Certified Canine Rehabilitation Provider), from Revere, MA was one of over 50 applicants to receive a 2nd cart donated by Marvin with the help of HandicappedPets.com.
Marvin discovered HandicappedPets.com when Kathy Barton and her 4th grade class from Velma, OK donated a cart to Xavier, a cat who was also rescued from the RISPCA. The cart will be delivered to Nico early in August.
