Remember when I found that beautiful Husky, Tasha? I said that I thought that someone that fought pits owned her. Then I met the guy, he was all sweet and loving towards Tasha. So, I felt bad for being judgmental. I thought I must have been totally wrong.
Well, 4am I hear dogs barking like crazy. I go out front to see what is going on, and Tasha and her pitbull brother have some cats treed.
He's obviously been fought. He is very skittish, I am just asking to get attacked. It took me forever to get him in the house. I finally got him into the crate.
I already got Tasha to the husky rescue that I got Roxy from. The woman that runs it said she'll have no problem adopting her out. She's going to send her a few hours away to an affiliate rescue. I would SO keep Tasha, if I didn't live right by that guy.
Aly was right, I called three rescues and they all said by my description that the pit wasn't adoptable. I called my vet, talked to him for a while. He said the same thing...put him down. But he said a) he can't knowingly put a dog down that he knows isn't mine. b) he would have to turn me in if I came in saying the dog was mine and it appeared to be abused. The vet suggested I call the shelter and say I found it. He said with the dog's condition, it'd be put down right away. So, not knowing what to do, and feeling the pressure of time. (Didn't want this guy to discover his dog in my backyard, can't keep him around to long since he is animal aggressive.) I called the animal shelter...they came out. I wasn't home because I was taking Tasha to the rescue. Well, Mike talked to the officer. The officer said "aww, that's common of pitbulls...send him back to the owner, he'll have a better life then at the pound." He wouldn't take him!!!
So, I then called my brother and asked him to keep the dog for a few days until I figured out what to do. I put my truck in the garage, closed the door, and put the dog in the back in the crate. As I was driving to away, the dog's owner flagged me down. I stopped. He asked me where Tasha was. I told him that I'd caught them both and put them in the backyard, but when I came home, Tasha was gone. I told him Tasha must have slipped under the fence since she was so small. I asked him what was wrong with the dog and he said it was from ramming the fence. This dogs entire body especially the neck is covered in bite marks. The scabs are constantly falling off and bleeding again. He has scars all over. He slapped the dog really hard on the butt and started roughing him up. He was instantly yelling at the dog as I was walking away. The dog's name was Whetto. (For you that don't know, that's an offensive spanish slang term for white boy.)
I am so sick over it. But this guy is felon, it isn't like I can stand up to him. What confidence do I have in animal control when they physically saw the dog and didn't take him? I want to write the paper about it, but they won't take anonymous editorials. I cannot believe this.
Thank God I at least got Tasha out of that home. I know he has several pit bulls. Here are a few pictures. Sorry that they are disturbing. To be honest, my camera is blurry. They wounds are actually much worse then they appear, and like I said, they are everywhere.
