Antoinestale

Antoine and his specially-abled pack face adversity with incredible resiliency and dogged determination. His book and stuffie are available in link below.

Follow along for their healing journeys, adventures about the farm, and pack pet therapy visits. Antoine’s journey is one of love, determination and friendship. Born with rigid paralysis of his hind legs—a complication of the infection Neospora, Antoine was rescued by Janet Curran, a longtime animal advocate in Kansas, and brought to Colorado State University for treatment. His subsequent rehabilitation led him to Connie Fredman’s Canine Health Resort in Colorado where he learned to walk again. Now his life is now filled with playful days, continued rehabilition and giving back to others as therapy dog.

Flashback to June 2020 when Antoine arrives at his rehabilitation appointment. Did he say “hellooooooo” ?

Video description: This video was shot in June 2020 when Antoine was eight years old and walking on his own. He is accompanied by one of his all-time favorite vet techs, Erin. Antoine has a customized black on one of his rear legs to help with his mobility that was compromised by the neospora parasite he contracted at birth.

As Connie likes to put it “Banks is like Ash (her littermate) she doesn’t like her feet to leave the ground….and she is some sort of diesel engine”.

Video description: Banks is a 5-year-old Belgian Tervuren that has come to us after her owners could no longer take care of her. She has a calcium deficiency just like her brother Ash that we remedied, so we are hoping to provide some healing. Banks is very determined to retrieve her ball but not at any risk of both of her feet leaving the floor of the pond!

Just look at Skya go! She barely knuckles or drags those hind legs any more and the girl is fast! Thanks to all of her therapy funded by antoinesfund.org, her wheelchair, and all of our IG and FB community supporting our mission.

Video description/background: Skya is a five-year-old Siberian husky that had a spinal stroke in fall of 20222. She came to us when her owner could no longer take care of her. Skya’s spirit was low and her back legs had little mobility but her rehabilitation team noted there was some movement and hope. Skya stepped up and here we are today. Skya’s the limit.
