Parma, OH • Parma Animal Shelter

Elf, now known as Tres was hit by a car and brought to the shelter as a stray at Christmastime. The discovery of a transverse fracture of his distal femur presented a tough decision for the shelter. Recognizing that his leg wouldn't heal properly, the vet at Kentown Animal Hospital recommended amputation. Julie, a compassionate foster parent, opened her home to Tre so he could recover in comfort. Tres finds solace in the familiarity of his blanket on the couch, a place where he can rest and feel secure. His playful spirit emerges as he discovers the joy of a tiny toy CAVS ball and the intrigue of a laser pointer. While initially a bit shy and hesitant to be held, Tres begins to warm up to love and attention of Julie and her husband. As he adapts to his new reality, Tres navigates his surroundings with surprising agility, although mastering stairs is still a work in progress. The endearing quirk of practically digging to China in his litter box reveals a playful side, adding charm to his personality. The narrative concludes with the promise of a bright future as Tres continues to recover. The anticipation of his availability for adoption carries a sense of hope, as Elf, now Tres, awaits a forever home filled with love and understanding. We are very hopeful that Tres will have a happy life despite only having three legs. His veterinarian is Dr. Chris Roberts, D.V.M. Kentown Animal Hospital. The Parma Animal Shelter relies on donations and grants to fund the veterinary care of animals like Tres. We are 100% volunteers whose first priority is happy endings for all our guests. We are so grateful to our fosterers like Julie and her husband for caring for Tres.
