Tripod Stories

We welcome any domestic animal related stories, or rescue successes that you may have encountered.

The story of Tripod has to do with a medium sized dog that was living on the streets of Uvita Costa Rica.  He was frequently commented on due to his one mangled leg, and the fact that he was totally unapproachable.  He would snap and growl at anyone that approached him. 

Liz & Natalie decided to do something about this situation.  Armed with tranquilizers, they sought the dog soon-to-be-known-as Tripod, applied the tranquilizer, and took him to Fernando's, the local vet and avid supporter of The Tripod Foundation.  An amputation and a neutering later, Tripod was duley dubbed, and adopted by Liz. 

Tripod is now famous.  The Tripod foundation's fliers and donation boxes can be seen all around the zone in shops and restaurants, sporting the happy and contented countenance of Tripod, one of the luckiest dog's in the world (Liz is a bit indulgent :)
