So we have decided to adopt a Tripawd (hopefully 2) from Malaysia who need our help!
Brad is arriving in April at some point so been busy buying stuff for him. He like Leo has a rear amputation and deserves his forever home here.
Look at that face 😍
of course Leo is a star already but here's his picture to
Then this is their sister to be (fingers cross) Leah
I think they will be very happy together love them so much already!
Forgot to say Leah had a thigh bone missing so had a very short rear leg. She's since had it removed and is doing fantastically 😛

Oh yay 2 new additions. I knew you said you may foster but I am glad you are thinking adoption too. Leo will love it. I am so glad you are helping them out.
Love the pictures of little Leo 🙂

Wow! What a wonderful thing. And all three are beautiful.
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.
Been given the go ahead now for Leah to (as it wasn't set in stone) but now we can officially say we are adopting her to! So a couple of new beautiful fur kids to spoil rotten and give them the life they so deserve!! ❤️

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Awww thank you
we are having a slightly later arrival date beginning of May so they can both travel over together 😊
So excited lol already been buying beds and toys lol 😂

I have visions of them funny looks of "man she doesn't look after her dogs very well she's broke 3" lmao
i don't rock they rock and so deserve their happy ever after! We have decided that Leah and Brad will travel together to keep them both happy on the journey then it's all good with lots of love and kisses to look forward to! 😊
brought beds, toys, and harnesses lol making sure they have everything they want and need.
Brads never had a bed so I brought him 2 and done the same for Leah one upstairs and one downstairs for each of them.
I think I have probably lost the plot but I know they will love it here and have plenty of good adventures ahead of them both.
They have both been in foster care for over a year so now they can have their forever home over seas 😊

So although fund raising like crazy at the moment we are still struggling so if we can't raise the dosh before the 20th then sadly we won't be allowed them 😔
but we are still kicking butt. We have been told of a possible 11th April arrival IF we are lucky a lady is going to travel with them which means it will be a lot cheaper!!! And we can continue to raise the funds afterwards.
My vet has offered to treat both for free forever should they need anything which is fantastic!
Proud Mummy to Leo the Trio
I hope you get the funds. I know I wish I could have given more. 🙂 Please let Brad & Leah get home to you.

I know I am stupidily excited and can't wait to meet them and give them kisses!!!
I have to say they look very dashing wearing their bandannas to!
There are still other Tripawds looking for their forever home to! Hopefully someone will give them that to.
Leah and Brad will be cherished forever and soon I will be running 3 blogs lol haha busy bee me!
Everything else in my life is now at a stand still so I can focus completely on my new family members and spoil them rotten! After all they need to have time to adjust and settle in!
So exciting for all of us and so very blessed that we can share our lives with these super stars! ❤️
