Pets Of The Week: Meet Oreo And Skippy

Three legs. Full speed. Oreo doesn’t dwell on what’s missing: he has places to sniff, people to follow, and adventures that refuse to wait. Losing his leg knocked him around a bit, but it never knocked the spark out of him. He greets each day with determination, curiosity, and the quiet confidence of a dog who has always figured it out. His favorite destination has never been the end of the trail—it’s the person walking beside him. Five years old, endlessly game for whatever comes next, and ready to find a front door that opens just for him. Three legs. Zero excuses. One family still out there. Oreo goes home neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and with six months of free heartworm prevention. Española Humane is open to walk-in adopters 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday, at 108 Hamm Parkway in Española. Visit www.espanolahumane.org. Courtesy/EH

Skippy never got the memo that he’s missing a leg. He zips, springs, ricochets, and conquers the world in three-legged stride, leaving everyone else struggling to keep up. Brave without trying to be, this little tripod is social, gentle, and happily shares his adventures with other cats and even dogs. When the zoomies wind down, he’ll happily fold himself into your lap for a well-earned nap. Skippy has also been an honorary member of our shelter clinic’s Special Cats Club—an exclusive little crew of head trauma survivors, orthopedic oddballs, and genetically gifted goofballs who’ve turned the office and kennel space into their own tiny kit-dom of chaos. Skippy isn’t looking for sympathy—he’s looking for someone to cheer him on. If your home could use an orange sidekick with an oversized spirit and a talent for turning three legs into magic, Skippy is your guy! Española Humane is open to walk-in adopters 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday, at 108 Hamm Parkway in Española. Visit www.espanolahumane.org. Courtesy/EH
