Beautiful babies!
Hope they find wonderful homes soon!

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
Yes, aren't those two nice. I bet someone will snap them up (the three-legged one eyed young lab here went before she was even posted on the humane society website).
But . . . Jesse sounds as though he would be a great dog in a family with another crazy young dog, a cat who likes to play with dogs, and lots of kids around the neighbourhood. Oklahoma is a tad far from Winnipeg, but . . . If there was a way . . .
I wonder if they can post a video of the dog. That can really help to get an idea of the personality of the pup.
Ok - now for the embarassing questions (on tripawds, we get used to asking embarassing questions). Do many rear leg male amputees show their 'manhood' the way that Jesse does in that picture?

Not a silly question... one vet told us this is actually the reason many surgeons leave a stump instead of amputating at the hip.
