Triton

Triton arrived as a stray with a noticeable limp and severely matted fur. Thankfully, a kind rescue partner stepped in, cleaned him up, and discovered his unique gait is due to a birth defect. Both of his femurs are curved, causing his knees to turn outward. While he walks well on his feet, this has led to early-onset arthritis, for which he receives daily anti-inflammatories. He may need a wheelchair in the future, but for now, Triton is mobile and happy. He's not a big fan of long walks, but he absolutely adores belly rubs and being with his people. Triton is a mellow boy with occasional bursts of playful energy. Mealtime is his favorite part of the day! He enjoys playing with toys but also has a habit of eating them, so he needs to avoid plush toys and stick to sturdy chew bones. Could you offer Triton a loving home?

Ideal Home

Triton would love a home where he can relax and be showered with affection. He needs an environment where he can safely enjoy his chew bones and where his special needs are understood.

Ongoing Health

Triton has a birth defect affecting his femurs and knees, leading to early-onset arthritis. He is currently on daily anti-inflammatories to manage this condition. He may require a wheelchair in the future, but he is mobile and comfortable for the foreseeable future.
