So I'm very new to the tripawd community and  literally last night went to get a new puphone to add to our herd. Ended up falling in love and Taking  home this tripawd pup who's name is to be determined. She was born this way and  seems to not be bothered with missing leg. The breeder didn't want her and fessed up to normally hiding her when people came to look at pups. We need up not having to pay for her and took her home. I guess I am lpoking for advice on training and raising a little hop a long.

Oh my dog thank you for bringing home that sweetie. Makes me wonder what the breeder would have done if you hadn't have come along. Grr. I don't wanna think about it!

Anyways, we're glad you're here. What kind of dog is she?

We have a ton of tips on keeping her strong and healthy for life, I'm so glad you asked! Here are some places to start:

Congrats on your new pup.  I am glad you brought her home.  You found a great place for support and questions to be answered.  Please share lots of pictures (we love them).  What kind of pup is she?

Yeah, I don't want to know what the breeder would have done either.

 

hugs

Congrats on your new addition to your pack!  Your new little one will be amazing and there's definitely no need to "hide her" from the world!  That little pup is truly blessed that you came along when you did to give her an amazing home and life!

Can't wait to hear more about her and see some pictures!
