Bean came to our No Kill shelter a little over a week ago with a badly broken leg. What we were told was a stranger dropoff turned out to be an owner surrender due to the owner being unable to pay for the very expensive surgery required to set her leg. Even with setting the leg however, Beans prognosis for recovery was poor. The decision was made that amputation would be the best solution for her.

She had her rear right leg amputated yesterday and is doing amazingly well. She has had absolutely no trouble walking, has been able to support herself when urinating and is in fairly good spirits. She is super friendly and has won the hearts of everyone she has met thus far.

We would love to get Bean into a loving forever home as soon as possible. Although I (the current foster) would love to keep her, she deserves so much more than I could ever offer her in terms of space.

Bean is:

* approximately 2 years old (looking at her teeth)

*Female

*Spayed (she had this done at the same time as the amputation)

*A tripawd as of 7/26/11

I could not find Bean at the shelter site, the facebook page does not work. Just wanted Mazzytaz to know.

Hi all!

I told Bean about her compliment, and I'm sure she was happy. She's pleasantly asleep in her crate right now. We had to take a run into the shelter to see about getting her a different e-collar as she keeps removing hers. She was the bell of the ball with all the people there. She's just so beautiful and with such velvet ears.

I just realized we haven't posted her on the shelter site as well. I'll talk to our director tomorrow to see if we can get her up there. It's a crazy time of year as it's kitty season. Right now we are running the Orange Crush sale with all orange kitties on sale! Bean was amazing around the cats today as well. She didn't even raise an eyebrow when surrounded by mewing kittens.

I wish more than anything that I could adopt her myself, but knowing that she will be adopted by a loving person or family is enough. If I didn't have to travel around for my job (and thus mean that I live in super tiny apartments ), she would have my name on her collar right now.

I have wonderful news regarding Ms. Bean here. She went to a new foster last weekend who has two tripawds currently, and recently had her beloved first tripawd pass away. She had the space for a third dog and so she agreed to foster Bean.

Today was Beans first showing at our shelter for adoption….she made it about 1 hour before she was adopted…by the foster parent who has had her for the last week! The Foster couldn't imagine here living with someone else so she adopted her quickly before someone else got her.

Yeah Bean!

That's so great that Bean was adopted by a family of tripawds!  Mazzytaz, if you have the means, please ask Bean's new pawrents to check in sometime.  I would love to know how they ended up with 3 tripawds and hear how Bean is doing as well.  Thanks so much for fostering her. Foster families are awesome!
