Trini first came to us from a kill shelter in Ohio where she was overdue to be euthanized. When we took her in she was heartworm positive and we agreed to foster her until she was healthy. Well… it didn't take long before Trini was officially a member of the family and here we are almost a year later! Trini is the sweetest, most happy go lucky little dog you'll ever meet. Every morning she wakes us up with her paw on the bed and tail wagging, like she is just so happy to have another day with us. You forget that she only has three legs most of the time. She gets along just fine! She can hold and chew her bones and toys, she can jump up on the couch, and she loves to go for walks. She runs even better than she walks, and can keep right up with Inga and Nick (also adopted from NBR) running in the yard! Here are some recent pictures of her, and you can see she's settled right in with us. We're very happy to have her here, and the fact that she only has three legs is no trouble at all.

When people see dogs like Stimpy on the website, I hope they think of Trini (and Gracie) and how, although they may not look perfect, they adjust to their missing limb and can do all of the things other dogs can do. Dogs with three limbs are just as sweet and in need as the rest of the dogs, and they're really no more trouble to care for. We sincerely hope someone out there will read this and consider giving Stimpy a home soon!
