Lily’s Pad Rescue
IT ALL STARTED WITH ONE SPECIAL GIRL…
Some things begin on their own without a conscious decision or choice. Fate makes paths cross and a path is started. That is the case with Lily’s Pad Rescue. On February 6, 2015 Mama and DaddyPad (then known just as Rachel and Ken) adopted Lilypad. Her name prior to that day was LuLu. Lil was a 15 week old English Bulldog with Spina Bifida and as a result she was fully incontinent and had to wear diapers inside. The space she snuggled into in Rachel and Ken’s hearts opened the door to many more to come and the birth of Lily’s Pad Rescue.

Drum roll please….. Falkor is neutered and ready for his furever home!
Falkor (NV)
This sweet, fluffy Frenchie landed in foster care and is still decompressing after a lot of recent change. Right now, he is calm, gentle, and settling in beautifully. He sleeps hard, relaxes easily, enjoys a good chew toy, and seems happiest just being near his people. He gets along well with other dogs and has a very soft, old-soul presence.
He is still early in the process, and while his core temperament is clearly gentle and thoughtful, he is also young. As he continues to feel safer and more comfortable, we would not be surprised to see his inner youngster come out in play, curiosity, and some appropriate joyful chaos. The good news is that even as he opens up, we expect that gentle core to stay true. That part of him already feels very solid.
He does have some medical needs we are managing. He has a history of GI issues and currently has weak anal tone. We do not yet know the root cause of his incontinence, and it is possible that he may always need to wear a diaper as part of his care. Right now, he is comfortable, happy, and doing well with his routine. His mobility is good, his appetite is great, and his stool is starting to improve with a stable diet and consistency.
Follow-up Story Meet Frank
We have been long time adopters and supporters of Lilys Pad Rescue, adopting pups with various special needs. Caring for our sweet pups Gidget, Ben, Gunner, Bexley, Thumbelina and Frank over the years have been truly a blessing.
We adopted Frank,as a puppy in July of 2019 and he instantly became his Papa’s sidekick. He is our current long term extra special needs pup. Born with Spina Bifida in the summer of 2019 Frank became paralyzed requiring tethered cord surgery. He moves around in his own special way not letting anything stop him. From navigating stairs to epic play sessions with his sister Bexley, Frank proves that there are no limits to life.
From the start Frank has been a champion traveler. From plane rides, to annual road trips, he has helped to educate everyone he has met and shows that special needs is not a disability but a super power.
Frank along with Gidget and Buster have become the inspiration to spread awareness and provide education for Spina Bifida through our website www.caninespinabifidawarrior.com. They also inspired the creation of www.gidgetsbritches.com, providing handmade diaper covers for special needs and senior pups.
Our pups have introduced us to an amazing community of special needs pups parents always there to provide support, sharing ideas, tips and tricks for caring for Spina Bifida pups.
As Frank comes into his senior years he hasn’t slowed down a bit. He is a testament that special needs pups can live a full and happy life. Caring for him, as with all of our pups, has been extremely rewarding.
This is the WHY!!!!
Harvey is living the dream!!
Harvey is truly living his best life. Sandy and Doug love him so much. I still have no idea why anyone would have dumped him. Everywhere he goes people live him and he soaks it all in.
