From a Tiny 2006 Wordpress Blog to the World's Biggest Tripawds Support Circle for Pet Parents

In 2008, we never imagined that installing discussion forums on Jerry's little blog at Tripawds.com would evolve into the world's best support community for animal amputees and their people.

Each year we help more and more worried pet parents, and now we expect to help even more. And, with Circle, it's easier than ever for you to help others too.

An Updated Tripawds Discussion for Mobile-Friendly Support

It's been 17+ years since the Tripawds Discussion forums were populated with the first questions posted by worried pet parents. More than 25,000 members members have posted in thousands of topics. The internet has changed a lot over the years, and now the discussion has too.

You can test the Support Tripawds Circle by viewing everything as a guest.

When you do sign up as a member, you can jump right into the conversation to post, share, and support one another in a distraction-free, ad-free zone.

More Fun and Honest Than Social Media: Without the Ads and Distractions!

As you know, the most current website designs and social media channels make sharing information and support so much easier than it used to be. However, all major platforms are also sharing – and selling – your private information.

Social media algorithms determine what you see, including lots of ads and other stuff you don't want in your feed. Well, not on the Tripawds Support Circle. Ever.

The best features of social media but a safer space for anyone with a three-legged dog or cat.

By moving our discussion to a familiar format similar to your Facebook or Instagram feed, you'll find only the stories, resources, and help you need.

And, here's the best part: we are bringing this discussion to you without the obnoxious distractions and advertising that litter your social media feeds. You are going to love it!

Introducing the Tripawds Support Circle! Here's what to expect.

We built the new and improved Tripawds support community using Circle, an intuitive, all-in-one membership community platform. Unlike major social media platforms, Circle:

• Is built for communities just like ours. So whether you’re posting to share your story seeking help, searching the member directory, or joining us for a live event, you can engage with the community in whatever way suits you best.
• Doesn’t have any ads or distractions. Forget Facebook ads and Instagram DMs. We’re building a community where we can connect away from all the noise.
• Allows us to house everything in one place. With Circle, we’re able to keep all community activity – discussions, resources, events, live chat, and more – all organized in easy-to-navigate spaces.
• Easy to use on any device! Uploading photos and video are much easier to share. Easily search or browse topics. Follow friends and connect with members via live chat or private message.

With the new Tripawds Support Circle, you only need to navigate one platform to enjoy all Tripawds free resources and assistance programs.

The new Circle platform is intuitive to very easy to use. And, with the Circle app it's 100% mobile friendly. We're certain you'll love it!

Tripawds Support Circle spaces provide familiar feed interface with intuitive community engagement features.

What Won't Change in the Tripawds Community

We've moved the main discussions and live member chat over to Circle. But all the features that make the Tripawds website what it is will remain:

• The Tripawds News blog will keep brining the best information about pet amputation and life on three legs. Articles will publish on Circle so you don't miss them.
• The Tripawds Gear Shop will continue to be your source for helpful gear.
• Tripawds Downloads and all member blogs will stay online too.
• Seventeen plus years of discussion forum topics are being archived as a read-only tool. The Tripawds forums will remain visible to preserve member stories and advice for years to come.
• Got a blog? Don't panic! All 2,200+ Tripawds member blogs remain online and fully functional.

Always Here for You

Finally, the biggest thing that will never change is how this community is here for you when you need it. Our incredible volunteers and community cheerleaders will still offer an ear and some wisdom to guide you on your three-legged journey. They'll just be doing it over at the all-new Tripawds Support Circle.

We are bringing this new, 100% free experience to you thanks to the generosity of members like you who support the Tripawds Foundation.
