"three legged" and "orphaned" are not necessary and distract from the joke, lessening the impact hence lessening the humor. Just a say a dog limped into a bar. Also the punch line is usually "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw", which is an old Western trope. It's the subversion of expectations that makes this joke a classic. But not the way you told it.
