Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Triton is Lexus’ brother and a true survivor. A Good Samaritan found them in San Felipe and notified us. They had both been hit by a car and, unfortunately, Triton suffered the most injuries. When we got to them, Lexus was right by his side helping him keep the strength to keep going.
We immediately brought them both to the vet. Lexus was released soon after with some scapes and a bump on her head which has since mended nicely.
Triton’s back left leg was crushed to the extent of bones sticking out and bent. Unfortunately, it could not be saved and Dr. Johnson @santaluzanimalcare had amputate it. Triton is now a Tri-legged dog!
This unfortunate situation has not made an impact in Triton’s spirit though! He’s got the best personality ever! He is joyful, mild mannered, loves belly, scratches and has already been walking around on his three legs! As we said, he is a TRUE SURVIVOR!
We would love to find a FOSTER or FUREVER home for him where he can ease into his new life. Since he is convalescing, he will need extra love and patience as he learns to conquer the world on 3 legs. Please let us know if you can help us ASAP!
