Meet Blue: A Journey of Resilience and Hope on three legs

Meet Blue, a spirited 1-year-old mix of Australian Shepherd, Corgi, and Rat Terrier. Blue and his mom recently moved from Texas to Wyoming for a fresh start. While Blue's mom is juggling odd jobs and searching for full-time employment, Blue has been her steadfast companion, offering emotional support whenever she needs it.

One day, Blue's adventurous spirit led him on an unexpected sightseeing expedition in their new city. Unfortunately, he returned home with a broken leg, leaving his mom distraught and worried about how to afford his care. Fortunately, she applied with Fur Kids Foundation for assistance with Blue’s emergency veterinary expenses.

After an overnight stay at the clinic for monitoring, the veterinarian and Blue's mom decided that amputating his leg was the best course of action. Though the decision was tough and emotional, leg amputation can be the best solution for many dogs, leading to successful outcomes. "Tripod" dogs, as they are affectionately called, can live long, healthy lives with minimal specialized care after recovery.

Blue underwent surgery and is expected to make a full recovery. Thanks to the support from Fur Kids Foundation, Blue is on his way to living a happy, healthy life on three legs.
