23ABC's Pet of the Week, Triton, is a tripod Terrier-mix.

Marley's Mutt's rescued him from the Kern County Animal Services shelter.

While Marley's Mutt's does not know his exact age, he is believed to be around four-years-old.

Triton was rescued after being involved in a car crash. His right hind leg was badly wounded and had become infected, forcing officials at Kern County Animal Services to have the leg amputated.

He is also blind in his left eye, another casualty of the accident.

Triton however is active and very friendly. He plays well with children, other dogs and even cats.

He is leash and kennel trained and would be a great fit for your family.
