It's the second day of the week and you know that that means: time for Tripawd Tuesday!
Phoebe the Fabulous Three-Legged Pittie is our star today. Here's heartwarming story as shared by her mom, Ashli.
Tripawd Tuesday: Meet Phoebe the Fabulous Three-Legged Pittie
Phoebe was dumped as a puppy on a property in late May of 2022. She was found a few days after her Mom, Dad, and Sister were-probably due to her broken leg slowing her down.
Phoebe is a very curious girl and becomes oblivious when she finds something interesting. She was brought to my work at the veterinary hospital.
As much as I kept calling her a foster dog, I instantly fell in love with her sweet face and dorky personality and just couldn’t give her up.
Phoebe had to have her leg removed after a while of trying to save it, plus waiting for her to become healthy enough to get through the surgery safely.
She fully recovered and is now living a happy, care-free, fully loved life. She loves food, cuddling under the blankets, and her German Shepherd adopted sister.
