Tawny is a 4-month-old Bulldog mix with the biggest heart and an unstoppable spirit. Weighing about 25 lbs, this sweet girl has already overcome more than most dogs ever will—and she’s come out the other side happy, playful, and full of love.
Tawny was found as a young puppy in Alabama with an old hip injury that unfortunately couldn’t be repaired. The best option to give her a pain-free, full life was amputation of her rear leg—and she has healed beautifully! 💛
Now, Tawny doesn’t let being a “tripod” slow her down one bit. She runs, plays, and loves just like any other puppy. In fact, most of the time you’ll forget she’s missing a leg—she sure does!
