Watch five of our patients recover, in their own footage. These are real Walking Paws Rehab cases from our Boulder and Denver clinics: a service dog fitted with a prosthetic limb, a CCL tear healed without surgery, a paralyzed dog who learned to run again, a dog who came back from paralysis in all four legs, and a working dog who recovered from a broken neck. For hundreds more graduates, visit our Paws of Fame.
Clawdia is a service dog who was born with a congenital deformity and is missing a paw. Her video follows the process of fitting her with a custom prosthetic limb and teaching her to use it, so she could keep doing the work she was trained for.
Sukha tore her cranial cruciate ligament, and her family chose to treat it without surgery. Her video follows the non-surgical CCL plan we built for her, including laser therapy, underwater treadmill work, strengthening, and a home exercise program, and shows how she got back to running.
Pepper arrived paralyzed after an intervertebral disc injury. This video follows her from the first sessions, when she could not stand, through underwater treadmill therapy and neurologic re-education that brought her back to walking, and then running.
Walter suffered an acute stroke to his spinal cord, compounded by an autoimmune disease, that left him paralyzed in all four limbs. He even lost his ability to bark. His video shows the neurologic rehabilitation that got Walter back on his feet and walking again.
Dottie is a search and rescue dog who fractured her neck. Her video shows the careful, staged rehabilitation that taught her to walk again and returned her to the work she loves. Hear more of her story on the podcast episode below.
