Pup Born Without Front Legs Saved From Death Finds His Perfect Family
Nubby is an adorable Boxer puppy from Conroe, Texas. Born without his front legs, Nubby faced many challenges from the start and almost got euthanasia.
But his foster parents refused to give up on him and did everything in their power to save him.
Nubby Wasn’t Supposed To Live
Just four hours after Nubby was born, the vet suggested to his foster mom, Lou Robinson, that it might be best to euthanize him.
Nubby couldn’t reach his mom to nurse, and his siblings kept pushing him away. But Lou and her husband, Mark, founders of Warriors Educate About Rescue (WEAR), had a different plan.

They decided to give Nubby a chance at life. They fed him with a bottle and provided round-the-clock care, ensuring he had everything he needed to thrive.
Overcoming Early Struggles
The first few months were tough. Although Nubby seemed healthy initially, he soon had trouble pooping and bubbles came out of his nose.

A vet examination revealed issues with his esophagus. Nubby needed antibiotics and an incubator for oxygen.
“He had a pocket form in his esophagus that was trapping his milk,” Robinson told The Dodo. “He was not giving up. He was fighting (...) and as long as he has a chance at quality of life, we will fight to give him that chance.”
Despite these setbacks, his enthusiasm for life remained strong. Nubby’s love for life was evident every day.
Finally Growing Stronger
Nubby gradually overcame his health issues. He grew into a beautiful white Boxer with a spark of life in his eyes.
Despite his disability, Nubby moved around freely, only needing help with stairs. To help him live a more active life, Lou and Mark got him a wheeled prosthetic device.
