A joyful community for tripawd and specialty dogs
The 3-Legged Dog Picnic, which is held every summer, is proudly home to the “fun world official” record gathering of 94 tripawd dogs!
Celebrating dogs who live big with a little less
WHY WE GATHER
Whether they have three legs, one eye, a wheelchair, a cone, a cast, or a few extra lumps and bumps, these dogs remind us what resilience looks like. The Three-Legged Dog Picnic brings families together to celebrate their pups, connect with others, and create a day filled with joy.
Are you new to life with a three-legged dog? You’re not alone! The Tri Pawds Community is a place to connect, share, ask questions, and find support from others who understand.
A community built on resilience and celebration
WHY IT MATTERS
Every year, hundreds of people gather to celebrate dogs of all abilities. What begins as a picnic becomes something bigger: new friendships, shared experiences, and a reminder that differences are worth celebrating.
Ways to pawticipate
Bring a pup, lend a hand, or stay connected to the joyful world of tripod dogs.
Bring your pup for the parade, tricks, fashion show, and more. All tripod and specialty pups are welcome.
