Tripawds Nation, you did it! The Tripawds Operational Fund campaign was a huge success; the fund balance is now just about back to where it was before the June tech meltdown. Tripawds members chipped in with all amounts, and thanks to everyone $2,214 has been raised!
Words can’t describe our gratitude. We are so thankful for all you do to make this such a supportive, informative, caring and fun place to be. From members who take time to hang out in the Chat Room and ease pawrent’s fears in the Discussion Forums, to those who can chip in monetarily or just by shopping via our Amazon blog and with affiliate advertisers,
YOU bring the magic to this special place. Thank you!
In Honor Of . . .
And now, here’s what we believe to be a complete list of everyone who’s contributed to the Tripawds Operational Fund campaign. Please forgive us if we missed someone: if we neglected to include you on this list, contact us so we can properly acknowledge your generosity.

“Once she finally healed, we were able to get to know the real Tesla. Most people don’t even notice that she only has three legs! She has adapted incredibly well, and can run, jump, and play just like any other small dog. In fact, looking back, our only regret is not having done it sooner, but we did the best we could at the time, with the knowledge we had. Now we the opportunity to help others who may be facing a similar situation.”

“I don’t know how I would have coped when Magnum‘s time came to cross to the bridge if it wasn’t for the love and support of Jerry and his family and the wonderful Tripawds community. That’s why we need to keep Tripawds on line. No one can truly understand what it is like to travel this journey unless they have been there themselves.
