My name is Windstar!

Hello there! My name is Windstar!

Let me share a little about my journey. I came into the rescue after a very scary situation. One day, while at the vet, a rescue person overheard a surgeon talking about someone planning to take me to the shelter to be put to sleep because of my leg injury. Thankfully, they decided to step in and offered to take me instead. I had to have my leg amputated, and within just 24 hours, I was already learning to walk on three legs!

I’m incredibly thankful for this new life and the chance to find a loving home. I might not want to talk about how the accident happened because it was pretty traumatic, but I’m focused on the bright future ahead!

As for me, I’m a big cuddler who loves getting close to my favorite humans. You’ll often see me with my front half on the sofa and my back half still on the floor, just because of my missing leg. I enjoy rough play with my furry friends, but my heart truly belongs to my person. I adore spending time with my foster mom.

Now, when it comes to going for walks, I have a little quirk about the leash. You might find me laying flat when you try to put it on, but after a couple of gentle tugs, I’ll cooperate and be ready for our adventure!
I’m kennel trained and you will notice that I rarely bark—mostly only when my canine foster siblings are getting vocal.

I sometimes have my clumsy moments, especially on hard floors where I might face plant! Going down stairs can be quite the adventure for me; it’s more like a controlled crash, but I make the trip because I want to be right by your side. Being a young male, I’ve tried to hike my leg to mark my territory, but I’m learning to use my left side since I don’t have my right front leg anymore. You can see me trying to use my missing leg when I’m active—I'm determined!

Oh, and I absolutely never complain about anything, except maybe when I hear everyone else barking because they want out of their crates when our foster mom has been away.

I hope we get to meet soon!
