Three legged dog and cat pets Tripawds Founder Jerry and spokesdog Wyatt Ray has met online and in person with Jim and Rene
Mabel’s mom recently told us about another great three-legged dog children’s book: Champ is an inspiring story about a three legged dog who changed a troubled kid’s life.
Greyhound rescue Mabel is a Champ herself. And the fact she had only three legs was no trouble for the kids in her pack when she was adopted.
Adopted in February of 2007, she’s found her forever home! Here’s what her mom had to say…
A fellow dog lover just let us know about this special pup at the Lost and Found Dog Rescue in Wilmington, Delaware who is still in need of a foster home. Please visit the L&F website for complete information about adopting Barnaby.
Barnaby is a Lab/Hound mix about one and a half years old. A special friend has paid his vet bills, so there will be no adoption donation required for Barnaby! Plus the shelter will provide a one year supply of the the joint pain medication he needs to manage his pain from losing his leg.
He is a very loving boy and gets along well with most dogs, but not cats. He is young and strong but the weight of his body makes his remaining front leg bend in a painful way.

Or in dog, rather

My new friend Sammy wrote to me to share his story about how he just became a Tripawd and had his surgery where I did, in California.
Sammy is from Mexico, and the way he started out his life is not an easy story to read. In fact, it made my Mom cry. But it has a hoppy ending, and it will put a smile on your face.
Welcome to America, Sammy. Your story is proof that miracles do happen, and not all humans are jerks. What a lucky, lucky Tripawd you are!
Barely Alive on the Beach
My name is Sammy. I was born in a tiny fishing village in Baja, Mexico. Some jerk ran over me when I was only 3 months old and then dumped me off at a deserted beach to die a slow, agonizing death! I had a broken pelvis, broken femur, terrible mange, open sores all over, millions of fleas (at least that’s how it felt) and a tummy filled with nasty worms…I was a mess!
