Hi gang,
Came across this link thru a Dog's Deserve Better rep. And thought I would pass it on. It's both heart-wrenching and heart-warming, the befores and afters are mindblowing. http://themuttscouts.wordpress.com/
Be sure to look at the July 30th blog and the picture of the white pittie. Does that picture not rip your heart out? The DDB rep sent an inquiry to MSB and this is the reply:
Hi,
Thanks for asking about this poor Pit.
He came in as a stray on the 25th of July. He became available just yesterday and he is already red-listed and will be killed in a matter of days if no one comes for him.!
He is in the back row of kennels- where the aggressive dogs and "keep alones" are usually kept. This is South Central Los Angeles and many of these dogs are used for fighting.
He has behavior notes on his kennel card that he bites and is sensitive to touch. He probably has never been touched in a nice way in all of his 6 years.
He is deaf.
He is a dog truly suffering.
At no time when I was at his cage did he growl or bark- he just sat there shivering.
He did make his way up to the front of the cage and took treats from me very gently.
If there is a legitimate rescue or adopter who can rehab him- we will go back in to see if we can find out more about him.
He is a sad story.
The good news is that a humane society in Indiana is willing to take/rehab him. MSB will hopefully pull him this weekend and get him to the vet for boarding, URI treatment, and bath. If you are interested in helping him on his journey, he has a fundable page in place: http://www.fundable.com/groupactions/groupaction.2009-08-01.5420864374 (The goal includes a donation to the receiving humane society.)
Thanks for reading!
