Triton

Triton is a sweet, mellow dog who enjoys quiet companionship and belly rubs. He came to us as a stray with some matting and an unusual gait. Further investigation revealed that his walk is due to a birth defect where both of his femurs are curved, causing his knees to turn outward. While he navigates well and walks on his feet, this condition has led to arthritis in his knees. He is currently on daily anti-inflammatories and may require a wheelchair in the future, but for now, he is quite mobile. Triton isn't a fan of long walks, but he adores spending time with his people and gets bursts of playful energy. Dinner is his favorite part of the day! He enjoys playing with toys but has a tendency to eat them, so he cannot have stuffed toys. However, he loves a good chew bone.
