Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MALTESER
Having only three legs doesn't keep this spirited Podengo down! While he is a little reserved at first, he is very happy to get attention. His tripod status doesn't slow him down at all and he gets around with no problems at all.
Malteser was found, gravely injured and very ill, by Bring Portuguese Podengos to Light. They got to him just in time and were able to save his life, but not his leg. They believe his injuries were caused by a leg snare trap.
* Fast Friends adopts in the New England area. If you are interested in Malteser or one of our other available dogs, please complete an adoption application at www.helpinggreyhounds.org/adopt-a-greyhound. Malteser has not been tested for compatibility with cats.
