“I was born with amniotic band syndrome, I was born without all my fingers. But, I have an arm. I don’t have a (left) hand so that’s kind of how it is.” - Kaleb Peters

Thrag: 1 Paw, Unlimited Aura 💛🐾
Meet Thrag — 4 months old, and the chillest puppy in the building.
Thrag along with his sibling Shadow (see previous post) were recently surrendered to us due to no fault of their own. Same story as his brother Shadow, different personality entirely. While Shadow was out here demanding snacks and running for office, Thrag was lying in his bed like “It’s all good, man. We’re loved. We’ll be okay.” He didn’t do anything wrong. His family loved him. Life just changed, and now he’s here — in a loud shelter — being the bravest, sweetest little gentleman about it.
A little info on Thrag:
Chill vibes. Thrag is not here for the drama. He’s the puppy who watches the chaos, wags, and goes back to napping. He’s happy to play, happy to chill, happy to just exist next to you. He’s 4 months old but has the soul of an old soul. The kind of puppy who makes your nervous system calm down.
1 paw but unlimited aura. Thrag is missing one of his rear paws due to an injury. But don’t think that him not having a paw slows him down. It doesn’t. Not even a little. He plays, he wrestles, he does ALL the puppy things — fetch, pounce, wiggle-butt. He’s just doing it on three-and-a-half wheels with more style than any of us. He doesn’t know he’s different. He just knows he’s got places to be and cuddles to collect.

The sweetest boy. If sweet was a competition, Thrag won. He’s gentle. He’s soft-eyed. He leans into you like “Are we cuddling now? I think we’re cuddling now.” He’s the puppy who will lick your hand and then rest his head on it.
Doesn't jump / respectful of boundaries. In a world of puppies who use your face as a trampoline, Thrag is a unicorn. He doesn’t jump. He asks. He waits. He respects your space until you invite him in — and then he’s ALL in. Perfect for a family who wants puppy love without puppy parkour.
Good w kids. Kid-tested, kid-approved. Thrag loves kids. He’s gentle enough for little ones, playful enough for big ones, and patient enough for all of them. He would love to grow up with a family who has kids to protect and play with.
Thrag wants a home where he will be loved and cared for, a home where he will get cuddles, playtime and care. He needs a home that sees his missing paw and says “Cool, even more special,” not “Oh no.” A home that will keep up with vet care, give him soft places to rest his little legs, and love him for the chill, sweet, respectful, aura-filled puppy he is.
He’s 4 months: He may be a tripod, but he’s not fragile. He’s resilient. He’s joyful. He’s ready.

Come meet Thrag today at Oakland County Animal Shelter — and yes, come meet his brother Shadow too if you have room for double the love. But if you want the sweet, steady, one-paw-wonder who will be your calm in the storm?

Thrag is waiting.
Thrag’s Details:
Age: 4 months old
Status: Owner surrender with sibling Shadow | Ready for adoption
Vibe: Chill, sweet, respectful, gentle, aura for days
Loves: Cuddles, playtime, kids, being near his people, puppy adventures
Needs: Loving home, regular puppy care, soft beds, love + understanding
Medical Notes: Missing one rear paw due to old injury — does NOT slow him down, no special equipment needed, vet will advise
Promise: The sweetest tripod puppy who will love you calmly, completely, forever.

“Hello everyone this is my daughter Analeia (Ana-lay-uh) she just turned 1 years old! She was born with a radial ray dysplasia, which is a rare congenital birth defect where the radius bone on the thumb side of the forearm is short or completely missing. we found this out at 22 weeks pregnant on an ultrasound scan. Being first time parents this was devastating news worrying about her future and her doing simple life task, bully’s at school, or people judging or speaking negatives things over her, as a parent you want to protect your kid from all the evil in the world and I felt that I could not do that. I was lost, confused, praying and questioned why me? but the one thing I knew for sure was that I wanted my baby and I was gonna have my baby! And I’m so glad I did my girl is thriving and striving meeting all her milestones, doing evrything that baby’s do we couldn’t be more proud of her! the lucky fin community and this group has helped so much!! We can’t wait till she’s older to show her that there’s people out here like her that are doing great things!! & The sky is the limit!” - Tranaya

“Nothing stopping this guy from enjoying a great day Mtn Biking with Dad! It’s a really simple adaptation (tennis ball, block of wood, U-bolts, & zip ties) that allows him to hit just about any trail on the mountain!”
