Description:
Mr Hobble has been ADOPTED!! Congratulations to Hobble and his new family :)
Mr Hobble is an adorable "tripawd"^.^ pup who has fallen on hard times, but you’d never know it! He is incredibly inquisitive, intelligent and active—a true “happy-go-lucky” kind of guy! Ideal for a couple or a person who is often at home, he'd be the perfect companion if you are looking to adopt an energetic, friendly pet.
Mr. Hobble likes nothing more than to stretch his (three!) legs at the park. If you want to play a game of tag, he’d happily chase right after you! He loves hiking and is learning how to go for a run with his fosters on a leash. If you're looking for an outgoing companion, look no further! He also loves to show off his tricks for some treats: his “standup and spin”, sit, stay, come, 'place", lie down, and more.
Mr. Hobble has a clean bill of health and his vaccinations are up to date. He had surgery on Wednesday, April 25th for a luxating patella in his rear leg. He will be good as new and ready for adoption by the end of May!! His surgery was made possible by the generous donations of the animal rescue community. Mr. Hobble has MANY, many fans! You can read the appeal for donations and updates here: http://www.animalrescuekorea.org/blog/hakunamatata/mr-hobble-the-three-l...
We are not sure why he was surrendered—perhaps someone thought his missing leg was an imperfection. He is just delightful and has no behavioral issues to mention.
If you think you have the perfect home to offer Mr. Hobble, we would love to find out more about you! Please contact [email protected] to receive an application form.

Mr. Hobble is truly UNSTOPPABLE! Watch him run around on two legs and a cast! ^.^
Mr. Hobble eats with his cone!
Hobble learns his "place"! Mr. Hobble catches on very quickly with his obedience training. He can even resist a treat that is thrown his way!

Love all the new pics! Sounds like he is settling well into foster care, and being so young he will def learn to adapt more and more to his 3 legged life. Thanks for giving him a chance!

Mr Hobble Goes To School!
Hobble is staying with me and my dog Luna for the weekend while his foster parents visit Seoul. He is a very active dog, despite only having 3 legs (don't let that fool you, nothing keeps Hobble down). He also adores people and especially kids. So on Friday Hobble and I went to school.
As you can see he had a really great time. The girls loved him and he was visited every break time! Hobble wanted to say 'hi' to everyone and loved giving kisses and getting hugs.

Thanks I didn't do anything though! I just let Hobble go do his thing and taped it on my camera. He is quite photogenic! Hopefully it will help find his forever friend.

Hobble Goes Hiking!
My dog Luna and I usually go for a walk in Daegu's Dyuru Park. Yesterday Hobble came along too, but I forgot to take my camera. So today Luna, Hobble, me and my camera went again just for you, and them, and me.
There were lots of people in the park, and of course Hobble wanted to say 'hi' to everyone! But he is having to learn that sometimes people just aren't interested. He also got lots of surprised looks, nobody expects to see a 3-legged dog hurtling towards them up a hill!
He really enjoys the walk though and meeting anyone he can along the way. We met a Golden Retriever, who was very happy to meet Hobble. Unfortunately the size difference was a little much for safe play, but they really tried.
If you would like to see Hobble in action check out the videos on the KAPS Facebook page.

Don't Forget Mr Hobble!! He is still very much looking for his Forever Home!
Mr Hobble is such a friendly outgoing guy, would just love to have a person all of his own. Don't let those 3 legs put you off, they certainly don't stop him.
