San Francisco knows how to throw a party, and this year’s Three-Legged Dog Picnic proves that inclusivity and adorableness go hand-in-paw. Last Sunday, the Marina Green transformed into a celebration of resilience, where 70 three-legged dogs strutted their stuff with more swagger than most influencers on a good day.

Pawsome Parade of Resilience

These aren’t just dogs missing a limb - they’re absolute superheroes. From a pirate-costumed pup named Olyve (complete with a prosthetic hook) to a sheriff sporting a bright yellow mohawk, these dogs proved that disability is just another word for extraordinary.

Rescue and Representation

Local rescue organizations like Rocket Dog Rescue and Muttville are championing these special pups, offering adoption opportunities for dogs that might typically be overlooked. At around $400 per adoption, you’re not just getting a pet - you’re getting a life-changing companion.

A Community of Care

Founder Franny Panny’s vision goes beyond a simple picnic. “We welcome handicapable dogs of all types,” she explained - whether they have cones, casts, are blind, deaf, or toothless. It’s a radical act of love in a world that often sidelines those who are different.

With DJ tracks, a red carpet fashion show, and more adorable three-legged energy than you could possibly handle, this event is proof that San Francisco continues to be a beacon of inclusivity - one wagging tail at a time.
