My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My name is Vanessa and I am a fourmonth old, German Shepherd and Labrador mix.



My mom’s parents did not spay her and she ended up having me along with eight other siblings in the litter. A friend helped to place all of my eight siblings, but no one wanted me because I was born with a lame limb and was considered “less than perfect.”



The vet said that I was born with radial paralysis in my front left limb and that amputation was going to be the best option for me.



There was really no chance of me getting adopted if I’d been taken to the shelter, the odds were not in my favor. No one really wants a dog or would be willing to love a dog that will need costly orthopedic surgery.



No one, except for Ken-Mar Rescue.



Ken-Mar Rescue raised the funds to cover the expenses for my leg surgery.



I don’t really mind being a tripod. I hadn’t been using my fourth limb anyway and had already gotten accustomed to getting around on three. I run the same, walk the same and generally am the same dog. A missing limb does not a “defective” pet make!



If Ken-Mar Rescue had not come to save me and love me and reassure me that I am a complete dog despite my “uniqueness,” I would have been a goner for sure.



I am not the “betting” type, but I’ll wager that my odds are pretty good at being able to find a loving “fur-ever” home that will appreciate me for who I am not for what I don’t have.



Will you help me win the jackpot by adopting me?
