Sorry, I could not figure out how to change the original topic title……Shelby call him up and tell him where you got your 'lil red wagon!

Stellar Gets a Home for the Holidays!

 Today, Stellar is living the good life with a loving family. But that wasn't always the case.  
 
In late September, we found this sweet boy in a pile of trash near our shelter in Oakland. He had two unrepaired broken legs and could barely walk.

Our veterinarians performed life-saving surgery on Stellar to remove one of his irreparably damaged legs. He was also neutered and treated for an upper respiratory infection. Several weeks later, Stellar was placed up for adoption. While this lovable boy drew lots of interest, adopters were reluctant to take on a three-legged dog.

Then, the day before Thanksgiving, Stellar's luck changed when Nichole Henriquez and Chantal Picard walked into the East Bay SPCA's Oakland Adoption Center.

"We just fell in love with his personality," said Henriquez.  "Stellar is a great dog and even with only three legs he has a zest for life."
 
The two women adopted Stellar and couldn't be happier. They have pledged to do whatever it takes to keep Stellar healthy and as mobile as possible. They plan to buy him a red wagon to ride in when he's tired and sign him up for water therapy to help strengthen his back leg muscles.
 
"Whatever it takes, we'll do. We're committed to giving Stellar whatever he needs to succeed in life," Henriquez said.

What a great story!!  I hope we get to see Stellar at some future Nor Cal Tripawd Pawties!!!!
