This afternoons surgery confirmed our worst fear…the damage to Valor’s leg from the car was catastrophic. There simply was nothing left to repair, as the fractures and impact decimated the joint and surrounding bone and infection had already set in deep from the great many hours he laid waiting for help after being plowed over by the vehicle.
The decision to save his life and his future by sacrificing his limb was an easy one really! Sure we humans judge the capabilities of others, both animals and humans by physical presence, but in the dog world…well legs are just numbers so to speak – 4, 3, and for some even 2!
Valor’s journey is just getting started however, and what’s important now is that we support him while he heals and recovers from the punishment he took on the road.
He will remain hospitalized for a few days and then move to a medical foster home to recover. He is receiving heavy duty antibiotics and pain medications to support him.
Some Amazing TSBR TriPawds have come before Valor – including Sidney our inspiration for starting TSBR (http://bomber.tripawds.com/) and Henry who lost his leg due to sarcoma a few years back and is enjoying the good life now with his amazing adoptive family!
Valor – we have your back buddy and your TSBR Troopies will be right here watching for when you take your first steps as a TriPawd!

Help Me Get A Leg Up to Adoption!
Welcome to Tripawds Valor!
We are all pulling for you buddy. I adopted my Rusty after he had been hit by a car. The ER vet guessed he was on the side of the road a couple days before some kind person picked him up. He had an FHO surgery instead of amp but he is a tripawd now. He has been the sweetest guy and I am sure that Valor is too! I am so glad he is getting the help he needed. Thank you for helping him and for the updates. His incision looks great and he is such a pretty boy I hope he feels better soon what an awful thing for him, but what a blessing you found and saved him.
I can’t wait to hear more. Hugs to sweet Valor.
❤️ Amy & Rusty
He is beautiful. Thank you for jumping in to save him!

Hi Sally and gang. Thank you for the well wishes and support! Valor’s people have not come for him. 🙁
It’s a sad realty for so many. Valor will became available for adoption once he is healed.
He’s such a sweet young dog. We have high hopes for him!
