[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Local shelter has a 3 legged lab/pit (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 9/1/2014 4:13:32 PM EDT
Here is everything from their site.
"Fog", a 2yr old neutered Lab mix, was brought in by owner in a very tearful surrender. Owner had to move out of the country for employment and thought he had the perfect home for Fog til he returned, which fell through just before he was to leave :( Fog is a super nice and friendly special needs dog. You would never know it though. Fog has only 3 legs, losing one to gangrene, but he doesn't let that stop him from doing anything any other dog can do. He is awesome They had him on local tv and the radio trying to get him adopted but when I called Wednesday they said people come see him but no one wanted him 
So I went and got him Friday for a 1 week trial to make sure he gets along with my other dog. 
He's good at guarding the door, no one is opening the door to the garage with him sleeping in the way. 
Nobody opening the door to the house either. 
Sorry Arf dog transporter people but I think I'm keeping this one 
Unless fluffy offers a gun to whoever takes him, in that case I'm still undecided

Thinking about getting one of These. He has a hell of a time getting in and out of the backseat of my truck. Plus he's just a really clumsy fucker.

Bought a Ruffwear pack for my Aussie that he doesn't use any longer, cancer is kicking his ass. Shoot me your address OP and I'll mail it to you. The pack snaps into that harness, so you can use the harness and keep the pack for FO time. ETA it's a palisades size medium. |

I had cancer removed from my last dog but he passed 3 days later from a blood clot they said.
Let me wake Fog up and measure his chest to make sure that'll fit, thank you. He sleeps a lot.

Good on you sir.

3 legged dogs usually do pretty well, they can have a problem with arthritis as they get older due to extra strain on the joints of the remaining leg. I've watched videos of other 3 legged dogs doing things and they seem ok but most of them are smaller than Fog. Wonder if him being a big barrel chested dog makes it worse because of the amount of weight on that leg. |
