Jasper has been in our care since January 2024. We found him at a landfill site, exposed to the harsh elements while scavenging for food. He was hungry, scared and cold. 

 

One of his front legs was unusable, with X-rays revealing two breaks that healed incorrectly, making it untreatable. Vets recommended amputation, and Jasper has bravely adapted to life as a tripod dog.

 

Unable to return to the streets, we're giving him a second chance. Jasper, a gentle soul with a relaxed temperament, thrives on cuddles and leisurely walks. He'd be best suited for a rural/semi-rural home with a garden and understanding adopters who can make adjustments as needed, like ramps or rugs for better traction.

 

Looking after a large tripod dog requires dedication, but Jasper brings immense joy and love. Here's what to keep in mind:

 

Veterinary Care -  Regular vet checkups monitor his general health and any issues related to his missing limb.

Weight Management - Keeping Jasper at a healthy weight reduces strain on his remaining limbs and joints.

Accessibility - Adapt your living space, removing obstacles and using rugs/ramps.

Exercise - Start with short walks, gradually increasing duration and intensity based on his comfort. Pay attention to his fatigue cues.

Emotional Support - Like any dog, Jasper craves love, attention, and mental stimulation. Engage him in playtime and provide enrichment activities.

Grooming -  Pay special attention to his remaining paw (the one bearing more weight), with regular nail trims and paw pad checks.

 

Ready to open your heart to a deserving dog? Jasper will be ready to travel to the UK from May 2024, anytime to the USA or Canada but only with a committed adopter/foster. He faces limited hope of finding a loving home in Turkey. Please consider opening your heart and home for this special boy.
