Check out this cutie at the EBSPCA in Oakland http://www.petf.....l/21250970. Here's what they have to say about him......
Stellar was found in a pile of trash near our shelter in Oakland.
The poor fellow had two broken back legs that had never been repaired. He could barely walk, but he wagged his tail and rolled on his back for belly rubs.
Stellar underwent surgery to remove one of his irreparably damaged legs and is now available for adoption. Despite a rough start, Stellar is a sweet, smart, joyful and playful pup. He wants only to please you and be by your side. He loves going on outings and enjoys meeting people.
Stellar is able to get around on his three remaining legs but he tires easily and needs time to build up the muscle in his remaining back leg.
Do you have room in your heart and home for this special boy? For more information about adopting Stellar, call 510.639.7387.

What a sweet baby! Hope he finds a great home!
Jackie, Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
