Hospice dog 'Baby' left helpless after $600 wheelchair stolen from Florida rescue

A senior rescue dog named Baby, who relies on a wheelchair to get around, had her specialized wheelchair stolen from the porch of The Pittie Party of Central Florida, a rescue organization. Baby, who is on hospice care, cannot walk on her own and needs the wheelchair to move and go to the bathroom independently. The theft has left her unable to perform these basic activities without assistance, which is proving difficult for the volunteers. The rescue estimates the cost to replace the wheelchair at around $800, including shipping. The Pittie Party has taken to social media to share Baby's plight and is asking for donations to cover the cost of a new wheelchair and her ongoing medical care. The St. Cloud Police Department is also seeking information from the public and encourages anyone with knowledge of the theft to call 407-891-6700. Donations to support Baby's care can be made through The Pittie Party of Central Florida.
