What's that? You missed the Tripawds Foundation Announcement???
Well, in case you haven't heard...now you can support Tripawds with charitable contributions!
Support the Tripawds Foundation!
The Tripawds Foundation is a 501c3 not for profit organization established to help maintain the infrastructure for the numerous public benefit resources available here at tripawds.com. Your tax deductible contribution will help those facing a cancer diagnosis and/or amputation for their pets find the information they seek to ensure a healthy recovery and happy life on three legs. As funds become available future projects will be designed to help tripawds and their people in as many ways as possible.

Help the Tripawds Foundation reach its goal!

They aren't making any more months this year!
Time is running out to make a charitable contribution to the Tripawds Foundation 501c3 public charity and receive the tax deduction for 2014.
Please consider making a donation to help us reach our goal, so we can help amputee pets and their people in as many ways as possible!
Have you checked the progress of the first Tripawds Community Fund lately? Just over a month since we officially launched the Tripawds Foundation , we have almost reached 50% of our goal!
The sooner we reach our goal for the Community Fund, the sooner we can start fundraising for new projects to help amputee pets and their parents in as many ways as possible!
Be sure to check out the growing list of names on the Honor Roll too! Then read about how you can help and add your three legged heroes and angels to the list.
Attention: All Tripawds Supporter Bloggers
The 501c3 Tripawds Foundation uses a new Paypal account. While existing Tripawds Supporter blog subscriptions do help keep this community online, the payments do not go directly to the Foundation. They are therefore not reflected in the progress bar found on the Foundation website, nor are they tax deductible.
To transfer your payments to the Foundation account, Supporters merely need to start a recurring donation here. Then you can cancel your current Tripawds Supporter subscription. We will ensure that blogs maintain applicable Supporter status. Details can be found on the Supporter page and in the email receipts sent after each payment.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Any questions?

A Closer Look at The Numbers
Thanks for the info, I will get on in the next day or two and change things!
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
Big News Coming Soon...
The Tripawds Foundation will be launching a new toll-free support hotline, to help those facing amputation for their pets.
That is, as soon as we get enough volunteers to answer and return calls! Please review the details and sign up at:
Tripawds Pals Hotline Hosts Wanted
As many of you may know, we've been on the road visiting folks on the East Coast like That Pet Place, our Virginia Tripawds crew and now at the Blog Paws pet blogger conference all week in Nashville, which is why we've been a little silent lately. Lots going on here, with Admin Guy speaking tomorrow and all of the networking we've been doing with some big brands and .orgs in the pet industry, to get the word out about the Tripawds Foundation.
The great news is that we've a PAWESOME response from MAJOR veterinary community organizations about our goal of getting Tripawds outreach materials into every vet office and hospital! Can't say who they are yet as we don't want to jinx it, but once we have official approval and dedicated dollars from these folks, we'll be able to do some large-scale printing and distribution. Woohoo!
We hope to be back in the groove soon and catching up on things, we've missed all the goings-on here!

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
Yay, Yay & more YaY. I can't wait to hear more. Good work. Good luck tomorrow Jim (aka Admin) on your speach. Has Wyatt been a good audience for practice?
