Testimonials

"Cree will always be there for you and she really wants to help dogs. I know that when I grow up, I want to join her on her journey for helping those animals in need. I thought she was awesome from the moment I met her! When we got to know each other better and she knew I was coming to Baja, Mexico and visiting dog shelters, she donated blankets, toys, food, bowls and even a dog wheelchair made by her and her dad. I donated all items to a local shelter in Ensenada where at the time of the donation I met Coco and Luna, I adopted these dogs on that trip. I know her Chetak Strong organization will be successful because she truly wants to help paralyzed dogs in need. It is like she sprouts future blessings out of her. Thank you for all that you do Cree."

"I love to help dogs. When I heard that Cree was sending wheelchairs to India, I thought I could help too. So, I collected a bunch of new dog toys to send to India with Cree’s wheelchairs. After I finished collecting the toys, I visited Cree to drop off the toys. So, thanks to Cree I was able to send some dog toys to India and make some dogs in need very happy."

"Cree reached out to me in 2017 to see how she could help dogs at the rescue I started in India. Within 2 months she was on a plane visiting us, volunteering, and bringing much-needed sets of wheels for our dogs. Her kind heart and contagious happiness comes through in everything she does for the dogs in need and the people who care for them."

"At Karma Animal Trust we had the chance to get the support of Cree for 2 handicapped dogs already, with her amazing “Chetak Wheels”. They are custom made to suit the size of the dog perfectly. They are lightweight and strong; they improve the mobility of the street dogs in ways they could never experience. Thank you so much again for your help. Mocha and Coco (Indian street dogs) are moving around more easily because of you!"

"Thanks to “Chetak Wheels”, several dogs who hadn’t even yet found their forever homes, ended up with their very own custom-made carts! Thank you, Cree for being so kind and offering your amazing Chetak Wheels to rescues and more!"

"The gift of Chetak Wheels goes beyond giving a dog mobility... it is giving them heart for the difference in their demeanor is almost instantaneous. Chetak wheels gives them a new and better life, and that is priceless. Brave Dogs Advocacy is forever grateful for every dog that has become Chetak Strong."

"Oh, my, Chetak!!! One of the hardest things that I have ever done is to leave California and not be able to see Chetak's happy face and bouncing ears every week! I've known Cree for over 20 years. I spent wonderful, bone crushing time with her and Bailey. I've seen Cree grow in her practice and her life but never so much as when Chetak arrived! What a wonderful boy!!! He has been thru so much that is unfair, but his spirit is not broken. Now he greets you with unconditional love and trust. I am the giver of watermelon and he is the thief of apples! Lol! He never met a piece of fruit that he didn't like! LOL! And he never met a human that he didn't trust, and leave changed forever. Who can look into his eyes and not know that he was sent by Bailey and brought here by angels? I love and miss you, Chetak!!! His wheelchairs have changed many lives around the world, and I am happy to donate to his amazing cause!"

"I had the great pleasure of meeting Cree while transporting a beautiful boy (diagnosed with medial luxating patella’s, he was unable to use is rear legs appropriately) from the San Jose Animal shelter to his rescue/foster in Rocklin CA.  In our brief encounter, Cree was very eager and passionate about her endeavors with Chetak Wheels and especially with aiding dogs who are in need of rescue. 
Cree patiently explained the mechanics of her chair design and how to appropriately fit it to the dog.  Chetak Wheels also allow for easy customizations for dogs of varying size, and she will gladly show you how to make those changes. 
She is one of the most pleasant and caring individuals you will never meet! I wish Cree and Chetak Wheels every success and I know they will help many needy dogs get out of the shelter with a set of wheels."

"Cree has certainly found her calling. She is precise and attentive to detail when putting these pups in the wheelchair. Her custom-made wheelchair for my paralyzed Yorkie made my life easy when I first got him from the rescue group. He now also has a “Walkin Wheels” chair so he can run in the mountains. Chetak Wheels are very lightweight and easy to get the dog in and out of. As an added bonus, you can decorate it with stickers just like NASCAR… as Chetak puts it!"

"Words cannot express how grateful I am to Cree for introducing Chetak to my class. I teach at a small school of inclusion in Los Gatos, CA where I have several students with special needs. How exciting it was for them to meet Chetak!! Cree had all my students completely engaged in the story of Chetak, who grew from an injured pup to a lovable, inspirational dog who doesn’t give up even if life can be a little tough sometimes. Cree brought pictures to show the kids, as well as gadgets to show my students different ways Chetak can get along in life despite his disability. Truly a heart-warming lesson for my students, who left the assembly talking all about how they were also #Chetakstrong."

"Our Indian boy Chetak got lucky when Cree fell in love with his photos and video. She looked beyond his disability and into his heart. 
India has a large number of street dogs with similar disabilities due to roadside accidents and illness. Cree’s self-designed “Chetak Wheels” brand of wheelchairs for dogs is being used by many shelters with paralyzed pups in India. All of these have been generously donated by her and her friends. We wish Cree and Chetak lots of continued success in this mission of giving back."

"Cree is truly one of the most kind and compassionate people I know. The kind of life she has given to Chetak is a testimony how much she loves dogs. Keeping a paralyzed dog is a lot of work and you need a huge heart to adopt one. She has clearly gone beyond her ways not only to give Chetak an amazing life but also, she is extending this help to many others like Chetak who deserve a life of dignity by her initiative of making Chetak wheel carts. 
I always felt using wheel carts for paralyzed dogs is very complicated as putting the dog in and take them out takes so much time and effort, but these carts are so easy to use. However, I was truly lucky that a friend of mine introduced me to Cree who happily donated a Chetak wheelchair for the paralyzed dog I had found on the streets of India. I am always grateful to Cree and Chetak for this amazing gift for paralyzed dogs. God bless you both!"

"This wheelchair is made from PCV tubing and straps, weighs very little, and can be broken down for shipping or transporting at a cost of $70.  Cree went to India to deliver many of these wheelchairs to the very rescue that saved Chetak and many more across India. Cree and her dad now make these for rescue/shelter/needy pups in the USA.
 We, along with many of her friends, happily gift Chetak money to continue this humane labor of love.  Join us in this most worthy effort.  It will be the best money you’ve ever gifted."

"The Chetak carts are super light and very easy on the spine of the dogs.
Our special needs dogs look forward to being strapped on and getting that additional support to run along and be as mobile as their other dog friends…it is their lifeline. It has improved the quality of their existence beyond measure. I don’t want to think what they would do without them
Love to Chetak from where it all started."

"I first met Cree when she brought Chetak in to see me for physical therapy 4 years ago. Chetak and Cree are kindred spirits spreading unconditional love and joy wherever they go!  During Chetak’s time in therapy, he test drove a few carts to improve his mobility. A few months in, he had skis, hiking wheels, street wheels, indoor wheels and more creative contraptions to ensure his ability to live life to its fullest every day. Cree has come-up with a way to give more special needs dogs the freedom to run and play with a light and efficiently made cart inspired by Chetak. Now, there are dogs all over the world flying free in Chetak-inspired wheels!"
