About Triton

Triton is a charming and mellow boy with a unique walk that tells a story of resilience. He was found as a stray, tangled and matted, but thankfully, a kind rescue partner saw his potential and gave him a much-needed makeover. Triton's distinctive gait is due to a birth defect where both his femurs are curved, causing his knees to turn outward. While he gets around well and walks on his feet, the wear and tear on his knees have led to arthritis. He's currently on daily anti-inflammatories, and while a wheelchair might be in his future, he's happily mobile for now. Triton isn't a fan of long walks, but he absolutely adores belly rubs and cherishes being with his people. He enjoys short bursts of play and considers dinner his favorite time of day. Triton loves toys but has a tendency to eat them, so he needs chew toys instead of plush ones. Could you be the special person to give Triton the loving home he deserves?

Ideal Home

A home where Triton can be with his people and enjoy gentle play and plenty of belly rubs. He needs owners who understand his arthritis and can manage his medication.

Ongoing Health

Triton has arthritis due to a birth defect in his femurs and knees. He is currently on daily anti-inflammatories and may require a wheelchair in the future.

Training & Support

Triton needs supervision with toys, as he tends to eat them. He would benefit from owners who can provide a safe and engaging environment with appropriate chew toys.
