AFRP Happy Tail

Triscuit's Happy Tail

Triscuit’s mother was a homeless stray who gave birth to a litter of puppies in foster care. From the start, it was clear that Triscuit, the runt of the litter, was very different from her siblings. The vet thinks Triscuit had a congenital deformity, or perhaps was crowded into an awkward position in the womb – and as a result, Triscuit’s hind legs were twisted into positions that would never allow her to walk normally.

Thankfully, what started out as a sad story turned out to have a very happy ending. Triscuit was evaluated by several compassionate vets, and it was determined that even though one of her legs would need to be amputated, there was no reason Triscuit could not live a rich and happy life. A bright and determined young pup, Triscuit adapted to her mobility challenges by learning to pull herself to where she wanted to go by using her front legs.

Recently, Triscuit’s foster mom joined with several of her friends to buy a set of doggie wheels for Triscuit, so she could even more freedom of movement. When foster mom Sandy stopped by the AFRP Adoption Center in January to show us Triscuit’s new doggie cart, she also signed her adoption paperwork and made her a permanent part of the family.
