T-Rex

T-Rex T-Rex was born on or around November 19, 2012. He was born with two deformed front legs. He can't walk like normal dogs but gets around just fine!

T-Rex was born with a heredity condition called ectrodactyly or "split digit." The deformity, seen in cats, humans and dogs, is a little different in each case. The long bones of the foot split and the separation also sometimes extends up the forearm. The webbing is the skin stretched between the bones. T-Rex is currently living in his forever home, thanks to California Animal Rescue. Some "man" w

as trying to give T-Rex away outside of a store. When he couldn't find someone to take the poor puppy, he tossed him to the side of the store and left him there. Luckily, a nice lady found him and brought him to a shelter. From there, he was offered to rescues only, due to his deformity. His foster mom saw his picture and fell in love. California Animal Rescue stepped in and pulled him from the shelter and off to his new foster home he went. Foster mom thought that T-Rex was the perfect name for him because of how he walks and waves his little arms around. T-Rex went thru 3 different surgeries to help correct one of his front legs. He now qualifies as at least a 3 legged dog! He also found his forever home with his foster mom as she became a "foster failure" to the happiest little dog around.
