Today’s Furry Friend is looking for a very special family to take him home.
This is Pirate the pit bull.
As you can see, he only has 3 legs.
The Heart Animal Rescue saved him from the Memphis Animal Shelter, after getting a call about a dog with a broken leg.
Turns out, Pirate was actually born with a leg that failed to form correctly.
Doctors determined the best thing to do, was remove the leg.
Pirate has actually adjusted well to walking on three legs.
He can even climb up to lounge on the furniture, and walk up and down stairs.
He is leash trained and house trained.
Pirate is a family dog and adores children of all ages. He also likes to be around other dogs, as long as they’re not dominant.
But, he likes cats a little too well, so he should not be around them, or any other small animals.
Pirate is heartworm positive, but From the Heart will provide treatment.
Pirate’s adoption fee is $125.
