Initially a blog documenting the journey of a German shepherd named Jerry, it quickly evolved into a forum where pet owners could share advice and experiences. The community has since grown to over 25,000 registered members and offers resources such as blogs, podcasts, and discussion boards. To further assist pet owners facing significant veterinary bills, the nonprofit Tripawds Foundation was established in 2014, providing monthly grants for amputation surgeries. AI
