Prince's Pal Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I had wanted to find out if people knew this website to be genuine or not but may have already found the answer via another dog website unless anyone here knows differently. A friend living in Spain has several "street rescues" one of which is a German Shepherd with CDRM. Needing a wheelchair for the dog she searched the internet but once the shipping costs were added in they all because very very expensive and money is tight for her. Then she found this on You Tube When she clicked on the more info bit alongside the date it said the dogs wheelchair had been made by a UK company following that link she found on the About Us page a downloadable 30 page document in which it said they could build and ship a wheelchair to Spain for £300 which was about half of what she had been told. So she asked me to look into it for her. It seems to belong to a man named Jim Colla and having posted on the other website it seems he is well known for getting animals mobile. I would appreciate it if anybody knows differently to let me know because I am about to tell my friend to contact this man and order a cart but I have to be sure that it is genuine because she cannot afford to lose her money on a scam.

Jimcoted Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 So I see somebody spotted my clip on You Tube. I was just so amused seeing the two of them ridning through the park that I had to post it. We had to take a rest with poor old Beauty because she hadn't been out for over two months. Her owner had bought her a Dogmobile walking frame which was totally useless for her because she has arthritis and was just dragging her back paws and scraping them the alternative from them would have been even worse because Violet being alone and disabled would never have been able to manage to put her into it alone. I loaned her the one she is now using. We finally got a website up, well I say we, it was a mate who did it because I am useless with websites. We are now sorting out building a cart for the dog in Spain, second in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redditchlady Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Jim is an angel. He supplied a cart for my Max who had CDRM. Sadly we lost my boy at the end of January. They are fantastic carts and give the dogs a new lease of life. Kazz xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houndwoman Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I think you'll find this is refugee Jimcoted who is held in high regard by everyone I have heard mention him - ask Houndwoman. Jim provided a cart for our Basset, Molly, recently and it has been fantastic for her Jim has been a great help and we cannot thank him enough for his support and back up help when we were so close to a pts situation with Molly. Without his help I don't know what we would have done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
