We do not know why the sweetest, nicest, most outgoing friendly dogs are always the ones that come in injured, but Pinga is no exception to this. She was found by the side of the road with a badly injured leg. No one claimed her and she was taken to animal control who called us. Unfortunately amputation was the recommendation. She sailed through surgery and has already figured out how to navigate the world on three legs. She runs and does the zoomies just as well as she did when she had 4 legs and her absolutely charming personality has not changed a bit. Her nickname at her foster home is Thumper because even before surgery, when she mainly laid on her doggie bed, any time she saw a human or you talked to her, her tail went wild and thumped against the wall, the bed, the floor. She is just such a happy girl! Pinga gets along great with other dogs and adores children. There is not a human alive she does not think should pet her and become her best friend. We would prefer a home that has an outdoor access without steps as we'd want to be careful with her on ice, but that is the only limitation she has. She has already figured out steps, so we are not too worried about her going up indoor stairs to a bedroom for example. Of course she tries to fly up and down them. This girl is not missing that leg at all! She is house trained and crate trained and is ready to find her forever family.
