I've visited online stores for a wheelchair for my dog but they are really expensive. I was wondering if there is anyone out there that would be willing to sell one to me. He's a cocker spaniel and is paralyed from his back legs. I would be willing to pay up to $150. If anyone could help it would be great!

A decision which should be made by the owner and vet taking into consideration the quality of life the dog is getting, some people are not willing to make a commitment towards the dog and for the extra care needed, my dogs used to play with a dog using wheels and the dog was having a good life tail always wagging, loved to meet and play with people, her owner was very committed to her though and made sure her needs both physical and mental were met EDIT I have just looked at the link suggested by James the answerer below me and it is great that the dogs can have so much freedom in the carts one dog is digging and later swimming in his cart - excellent

I was shocked the first time I saw one. I was volunteering at our local SPCA with my 8 yr old daughter. I swear this dog was about 20yrs old, and had no use of it's back side. Anyways, the wheelchair they had was homemade. It was a basic flat wooden seat with swivel wheels. It had a leather belt attached to keep the dog in place. I was amazed at how this dog got around. Our local SPCA is a non kill shelter, and I was happy to see that this dog didn't have to spend it's last days limited to it's kennel!

A couple of used ones for sale for 10-39 lbs. on the site above.
There are some decent ones on other sites for $250-300.

My sister had one for her dog, but then it died not long thereafter. Not sure where she got it from. Have you tried ebay?
