The Tripawds Leg-a-cy Continues!
Three legged German Shepherd Wyatt plays at the dog park two months after his leg amptuation.
OK, Jerry, I got off my tail and posted tonight.
So, here’s a video of me on September 19th, just over two months past my amputation. Can you tell? Do I look tired? Ha! No way. I walked a mile, then stopped at this pawesome dog park to have a good romp with my pals. I sure showed them what a Tripawd can do!
Oh, you can thank my Dad for the gangsta rap music. I think he thought I was homesick for Oakland.
Wyatt wants you to help save the German Shepherd Dogs at Camp Wolfgang near Dallas, Texas.
This thing called a recession is really hurting my shelter dog friends. Today, we got really sad when we heard that the good people at Camp Wolfgang, a German Shepherd Rescue near Dallas, Texas, are closing because they’re out of money.
The dog blog “Leaving Our Mark” posted that:
“The non-profit rescue group, located in Ennis, TX, is suffering budget shortfalls and is closing Oct. 30, 2009. While Camp Wolfgang primarily rescues German shepherds, there are also many other breeds, including a significant number of Rottweilers.
Sadly, there are nearly 200 dogs in the rescue and it is being reported that the dogs who are not adopted by month’s end will be moved to high-kill shelters, or euthanized. People throughout Texas and nearby states who are considering a new dog should consider adopting from a rescue.
Local rescues are trying to help Camp Wolfgang, but there is limited space. Every dog that is adopted out (from any Texas rescue) creates an opening for an at-risk dog at Camp Wolfgang. If you are able to foster a dog, please consider doing so now.
If you live in the area and are able to help one of these dogs, please contact the Kennel Master, Leisha Livengood at 214-755-1627.”
Please run as fast as you can and spread the word or adopt one of these dogs today. Camp Wolfgang needs you now more than ever.
Help save German Shepherd dogs in Northern California with the Wags to Riches German Shepherd Rescue fundraiser.
Whew! I’ve spent the last three days at Codie Rae Boot Camp. As you can see, she’s one tough Tripawd! More about that later, but meanwhile . . .
Sargent Codie Rae drilled it into me that I need to let you know about a really great fundraiser taking place, for German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California.
This group is the same one who helped bust Codie Rae and I out of the Oakland, CA pound! If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be here to spread the word about Tripawd pawesomeness.
So their fundraiser is called “Wags to Riches,” and even though it’s a fun pawty taking place in Walnut Creek, CA, you don’t even have to be there to pawticipate and WIN!
There’s a big raffle going on, where you can win
Tickets are just twenty bucks!
We know times are hard and we’re all broke. But the rescue animals are hurting so bad right now. Even buying just one ticket can go a long way in helping other future spokesdawgs find loving homes in California. So dig under those couch cushions and under your car seats, and download the German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California raffle ticket form today!
I understand this Jerry dawg has left me some rather large paw prints to fill.
But really, I am not and never will be Jerry. I know my new people know this. And it must be hard not to compare considering how many lives Jerry has touched, and what a wonderful thing he has he has caused to happen here with this whole Tripawds Blogs community.
But for the record, I am the new dog. And while we may never share that same bond they had with the almighty Jerry, I get the feeling they would like to try. I think we’ll make a great pack, if they would just let me be Alpha.
PS for Jerry: Thanks for the football.
Three legged tripod hero Wyatt Ray Dawg celebrates his ampuversary.
Today is my three month ampuversary. Three months since I got my leg taken off and got saved from that nasty ghetto house in Oaktown.
And this coming week, it’ll be two months since I met my new pawrents and they took me with them to these beautiful mountains. And now, I’m ten months old.
I weigh 70 pounds today (I was around 63 when the good people at German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California came to help me). Three months later, I’m doing pretty good. My rear leg gets stronger all the time. How can it not, these mountains are steep!
Life is good. I can’t complain.
