I saw this dog pop up on petfinder about two weeks ago. He just looked too cute! I went ahead clicked on the photo, and began reading the best dog profile ever written. I learned about an amazing dog followed by the fact that he was special because, he was a tripod dog. His profile was absolutely everything I was looking for in a dog. Right then and there I applied to adopt Ajax. A week later I drove three hours each way after work to meet and bring my boy home. He adjusted in less than three days. My other dog and Ajax are now loving brothers in under a week. The whole family is completely smitten, and my youngest child has become his favorite two legged buddy.
My loving boy is from the Dallas, Texas area. Rescued from a high kill shelter. A good samaritan brought him in with a terribly broken and infected paw. His best hope was to ampute to the femur. As bad as his paw was, it seems he was getting around on three legs for a long time. His surgery was in early August. He went to his foster August 14th and I adopted him on August 30th. He zooms around the house and yard with his fur brother as if he was no different. That is where he got the nickname Action Jaxon.
Thank you for adopting a tripawd!! I look forward to seeing some photos or videos of Jaxon in Action.

Hi – i too adopted a tripod about a month ago. he was in Taiwan and had been hit by a car. They amputated and he only has a stump that is about 12″ long. My dog walker says that he is the fastest of all of her dogs. he doesn’t seem to know that he only has 3 legs. Do you have a special harness for Jaxon? Hibo came with a harness but it is just a regular one. Do you think active Tripods need them? thanks
I went with the ruffwear webmaster. I has an awesome handle so I can help him if he needs it. I got it with the roaming leash by ruffwear. That leash can be worn around the waist. Its a great setup for my dog.
CONGRATS! Thank you for adopting him. We can’t wait to see photos.
When I saw Action Jaxon had registered as a new member I was like “Now this dog’s gonna be fun!” We can’t wait to see photos.
And don’t forget to apply for the Tripawds Rescue Reimbursement Grant OK? Anyone can apply and you’ll get up to $100 of your adoption fee back, just for bringing this sweetie into your life.
Thanks again!
Thank you! Ill definitly be posting photos and more of this great guy. Im new to how to blog so just be patient.
