Tripawds Gear Fund Offers Free Harnesses for Amputee Dogs
The Tripawds Gear Fund provides free support harnesses for amputee dogs available to people in need of financial assistance. If you have a three legged dog, see if you qualify and apply here!
Tripawds Foundation Assistance Programs continue to grow. But we can't keep it up without your help! See all programs and how you can help.
This is a really cool idea! The harnesses help so much, but after all the vet bills, I can see how the cosr might be overwhelming!
