Idaho Saint Bernard Rescue has a Tripawd Saint available for adoption. Here is the info from their FB page, Idaho Saint Bernard Rescue. There are pictures of her on the page.
Meet Allyson! Allyson has been bounced around a lot in these last few weeks, poor girl, and through no fault of her own. Luckily she landed last night with ISBR into a great foster home, thank you Jacob and Marilee!!! This girl's happy days have just begun...now it's time to find her happy ever after. Allyson has 3 legs, we aren't sure what happened, but it doesn't stop her! She was outside last night playing with the other two dogs in the foster home and did great 🙂 She ignores the cats, and loves the kids. We have been told that she may have some food protectiveness, but there have been no signs of aggression from her. She was crated last night and had no potty accidents and did not whine. She sat pretty this morning too while waiting for breakfast. Allyson is just a great dog, and needs a family! Apply to adopt at http://www.idah.....pt-us.html

Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
What a beauty! Clearly three legs works just fine for her!
ALLYSON! Hmmm...maybe that's a sign from Angel Shelby telling "our" Alison she needs to adopt aa BIG dog for Jasper Lily to play with! 🙂
Looks like I may have had a sign from my Spirit Being Happy Hannah...did you see the big English Mastiff named SALLY up for adoption?
Thanks Kathi! Maybe Patchy's mom or Lori (Chuck's mom) have people they can network with.
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 hush Sally!!! I cannot even think what Jasper would do if I brought someone home that is 10X her size! I would never get her out of the closet or from under the bed! Allyson is precious ... I hope she finds her fur-ever home soon....

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
Oh man Patchy's mom could so get in trouble! I would love to have her 🙂 Will be hoping for a special family to give her her forever home. Please keep us posted about her adoption though! - Summer and Patchy
I keep coming back and looking at this girl! I wish I was in the position to add another giant breed to my life! Hope she find an amazing home.

Domino had his left front leg amputate on May 13th 2014 after being hit by a car. He's now living a happy healthy life on three legs :)
We do too, thanks for bumping this up.
