IN THE KNOW: Networking Disabled Pets on the Web

From: Celine Higgins 
disabledanimal@gmail.com



My name is Celine and I’m a third year student at UGA’s College of Veterinary Medicine. I found that there needs to be a better system to connect disabled animals online because I had the hardest time looking for a precious wheelchair dog. Therefore, I am in the process of making www.disabledanimal.com


This is a classification system to where people can list their animals for free and it is completely dedicated to disabilities. If you do, please take the time to list your wonderful disabled animals on the automated site. I was so frustrated at petfinder because you can’t classify all of them as “special needs” and expect people to sort through 1,000 + hits. It’s bare bones right now but I’m going to do my best to make it well-established. You have full control over the listings just like in petfinder.

Please help me to spread the word! Of course, please crosspost with other venues so adoptable animals will find a home.



Thank You.

Meet my furbabies! Kona is a chihuahua who had a stroke at the age of three in his cerebellum. He lost all control of balance from it. Abby is an Italian Greyhound that I rescued who loves to smile.
