It’s National Specially-Abled Pet Day!

Wheels for legs or one missing eye, not all pets have traditional bodies, but they are fully loveable. In fact, sometimes the differences in their bodies due to illness, birth defects or injuries, help create a heightened sense of awareness. And like pets everywhere, they need a home.
