In honor of #NationalDogDay and Lexie's upcoming transition to the bridge (more under the 'Coping' forum) I'm hoping to raise awareness about pet adoption and Tripawds. Please RT as you see fit. 

Thanks to all!

Deb and Angel Lexie* Diagnosed at age 13. Tried radiation first; wish we had amputated upon diagnosis (even with lung mets). Joined Club Tripawd April 2014 & Lexie loved life on 3 legs! Advice: Start physical therapy as soon as your vet clears it, especially hydrotherapy if available :-) See Lexie pics here.

Don't forget folks, even though National Dog Day is over, you can still share Deb's tweets to help get the word out about our Tripawd Rescues still looking for a home. Thanks!
