This is a really cool idea! The harnesses help so much, but after all the vet bills, I can see how the cosr might be overwhelming!
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.

You guys are amazing. Ditto Sally on the grueling behind the scenes work - you have an amazing foundation and its ability to help tripawds and their families and give them both hope and healing just continues to grow. Congrats on the new program!
