Hey everypawdy, in case you missed it our friend Melinda started a Tripawds blog about the work she does to help dogs where she lives find furever homes. Of course being mom to Scrappy the Tripawd, she has a huge love for three-legged heroes. Her blog is called "Malaysian Tripawds Looking for Homes" and she's currently spotlighting these sweeties being cared for by the group MDDB (Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better):

Leah
and Brad
The group will cover the costs of transport if someone in another country wants to adopt. And of course the Tripawds Adoption Reimbursement Fund will reimburse up to $100 in fees.

Thanks for posting this! For whatever reason, I missed the blog of these incredible dogs AND the compassionate Saint Melinda!
I soopoo wish I could bring one of these home...all of these home!! Just not practical right now.
Paws crossed that they can find their loving furever home soo !
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
OH I wish I could ... I love Brad's sweet face but sadly, I cannot open my home to more than one dog at this time. Best of luck placing them!!! You are a true saint for helping these sweet dogs!

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

OMD!!! This is unbelievable!!!! What an incredible gift to Brad! You are a Saint!
Videos, pictures and more videos and pictures!! I'm sure this will be an adjustment for everyone, but I KNOW it will all work out beautifully! You are such a compassionate Soul! Thank you a gazillion times!
I hope they'll take pictures/video as he departs for his furever home and, of course, can't wait to see pics upon his arrival.
Soooooooo exciting!!
Love to all!

Brad should hopefully be with mid April landing in the Uk coming to join us as our handsome new family member!
Well excited to be honest and so happy we can help one! If I could work out putting a picture on here I would share some fresh ones taken yesterday 😊.
We are so blessed to be able to adopt such a sweet handsome boy! He's 2 years old and loves everyone dogs etc so he will fit right in I am sure! If we can make this work I will hopefully showcase him for the work they do as well as everyone here as so many unsung Heros behind the scenes deserve all the help we can give them 😊

OMG OMG OMG! That boy has eyes that melt my heart.
Do start a new topic in "Beyond Cancer" so we can follow along, and of course in Leo's blog too! 🙂

People probably think I am mad with Leo's set back this last weekend but if anything it made me realise how precious love is and how these gorgeous pups deserve a home to call their own. Leo showed me how perfect imperfections are and Brad is no exception. If I had space I would have probably adopted 2 lol but ones my limit and lucky Brad is a perfect match for our home and fur family.
I will start a blog and beyond cancer forum as soon as I have him (don't want to jinx it). Leo actually was being a fruit loop and told me that he like Brad by poking his nose on the screen!
I reckon they will certainly be a force to reckoned with.
Ps I don't count myself as a saint or anything like that, I am the very lucky girl who gets to adopt such a handsome and noble chap! I think Christmas has arrived here for sure!
