Help Three Legged Rescue Dogs and Cats Needing Amputation
The Tripawds Foundation is matching up to $500 for amputation surgery. These funds will help pay surgery costs for 501c3 rescues and public shelters actively fundraising for dogs and cats needing amputation surgery.
Applications are accepted between the 1st and 15th of every month.
Tripawds Rescue Fund Requirements
The original Tripawds Rescue Fund was created to reimburse the adoption fee for people who adopt a three legged pet. We wanted to encourage more people to rescue three legged dogs and cats. And that we did! “The program was a huge success. Now, it’s time to focus on assisting all the rescues who get those dogs and cats ready for adoption,” says Tripawds Foundation president Jim Nelson.
Why Tripawd Rescues Need Help
“More and more people are looking to adopt a Tripawd,” adds secretary Rene Agredano. “So many people are drawn to specially abled pets.”
“The more urgent need is to help animals get ready for adoption,” says Nelson. Many animals arrive at shelters needing an amputation, after an accident, cancer or trauma. As a result, these surgeries stress the budgets of many public shelters and rescue organizations.
Many dogs and cats wait too long for treatment, because of limited funds. And sadly, many get euthanized before help arrives. “That’s why we’ve redesigned the Tripawds Rescue Fund to help pay for amputation surgery of animals in the shelter system,” Nelson adds.
Getting the Word Out on Social Media
Nonprofit rescue organizations and public shelters often host crowdfunding campaigns with urgent fundraising pleas on social media. Now, Tripawds Foundation is helping rescues where the need it most.
The Tripawds Rescue program matching grant pays $500 toward the cost of amputation surgery for dogs and cats. These pets must be in the care of a public animal shelter or 501c3 charitable animal rescue. The organization must be actively fundraising for the animal’s care on social media.

Would you guys consider helping rabbit rescues? We had several amputations ( 2 in the last 3 weeks) and they are very expensive since only few exotic vets who are willing to deal with bunnies.
Rabbits are the third most neglected and abused animals and unfortunately there is no law that protect them since they are classified as livestock.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
