Aw she is beautiful. Bless that sweet girl.
If you can have her why not!!??

I say go get her now. Don't even give it a second thought. My friend has a shih Tzu that has three legs. She adopted him when he was 2 years old and he is now 9. No problem keeping up with the other two dogs. He is such a love and he gets up on the bed better than my shih Tzu with 4 legs.

I saw go get her, she is precious

I am going to call on her today!!

The SO is worse than I am. He's justified it by saying "well, technically, you aren't adopting a whole dog....she's only 3/4 of a dog~LOL!!

I am not sure how old she is and what her back story is, other than a vet clinic has taken her in and amputated her deformed leg. I am definitely interested to hear how she got there and why she's up for adoption. My first guess was that maybe she was surrendered bc her owners couldn't afford her medical bills/amputation.

I am a bit worried about how my boys would act if I brought home another dog. They have become best friends, but I recently babysat another dog and it totally upset the balance at my house. I suppose a lot would depend on the little girls personality. I really lucked out with Ricky. He is sooo easy going and submissive that he would blend into any family, including with my fearful, insecure, dominant older male dog that hates too much excitement.

On the other hand...I swear my boys know their own kind. The dog I was babysitting was not a yorkie and it was a bit bigger than them. I haven't seen a yorkie my boys haven't liked yet~whenever they see other yorkies, they always get excited to see them.

Yaaaay!!! Let us know what you decide...she is just beautiful, and the fact that you cannot stop thinking about her might just be fate. ;)

I love your SO's sense of humor. And it's wonderful that you two are on the same page with these type of things. Also, I heard numerous times that if you put a male/female together, they won't fight. And I think that's true for the most part from watching my two.

Even though Magnus is on the mellow side, Zoey does push his buttons often enough to a point where he does show he's the alpha. But I've never seen him so much as actually nip at her.

I sincerely hope things work out for you guys!

I'm excited to hear the outcome of your call today. Age, weight, circumstances... Thanks for keeping us up-to-date & good luck today.

Oh how exciting! 3 legged dogs get around just fine, they don't realize anything is different they just go back to being their happy little selves. As they get older you may want to do glucosamine/chondroitin to make sure the joints of the remaining legs don't wear thin and make sure you keep her a good weight. My only concern would be for you not to expect a lap princess just because she is a girl. Their personalities can change once they get home. I hope everything works out!

Hey!! I resemble that remark!!! :D:p

You are so right though!! :)

Shes precious!!!! I think she has your name written all over her!!! :)

Well?? Did you call?? Details girl....details! Lol:D

ok, how is going? Is she moving in? Gotta know.

Oh my goodness, if I didn't have Gunner I would apply for her!

Did you call!?:D

I did call yesterday and I talked to the receptionist at the vet and she couldn't really tell me anything accept for she was young(like between 1-2 years old) and that she liked to be held and did not want to be put down :) She didn't even know which leg she had lost. She suggested I emailed them, so I did and I haven't heard anything back yet.

If I don't hear back today, I am going to head over to the vet clinic tomorrow morning and hopefully I can see her or at least talk to one of the kennel girls who knows her and what is going on with her!! I'll keep everyone posted!!
