A group of disabled dogs called the "Unstoppable Dogs" from Huntington Beach are being honored with a special award and a feature in an upcoming charity calendar.
The dogs are named Peedy, Pop, Zeek and Little Eddie who will be shown in the 2024 Walkin Pets Calendar. The special calendar is published yearly and raises money to help disabled and injured pets in need of wheelchairs.
Walkin’ Pets makes mobility products for disabled animals. The company helps almost 2 million animals enjoy active, healthier lifestyles in its 20 years in business.
The Unstoppable Dogs crew have a big following on social media and have been featured by popular animal interest account, the Dodo. They received the coveted spot from hundreds of entries in 26 countries around the world to be featured in the upcoming calendar.
The Unstoppable Dogs and their owner were also chosen to receive the calendar’s “Hero Award,” which goes to a person that opens their home to dogs with special needs and is part of the selection process.
Debbie, the owner of the dogs, has opened her home to dogs with special needs, “taking them under her wings and showing them unconditional love,” Walkin’ Pets says.
Debbie says the journey with the dogs was an incredible experience that is heartwarming, but also emotional.
“None of these dogs are letting their disabilities define who they are and their spirits are one of ability, perseverance, and courage that no disability can steal away,” she said. “Our mission is to inspire others to always strive to be your best, no boundaries, no limits. They are my inspiration every single day.”
Thanks to the Walkin' Wheelchairs, the dogs are able to experience many activities such as a day at the beach, enjoying the waves and hiking trails. Debbie adds that the adventure she shares with the dogs is a testament to their resilience and determination.
The 2024 Walkin’ Pets Calendar is available for pre-order. All proceeds from the sale will be given to the Handicapped Pets Foundation.
