with you other dogs & other people. You'd really be starting
from ground zero with her. Are you ready for all that? Something
to think about.
She isn't that bad, Liz. She's animal friendly with the ones she was around. She doesn't bark or growl. She wagged her tail the whole time. When I say she isn't a family dog, I mean that she doesn't get walked, have toys, come indoors, etc... She's just some animal to that man. I know he must have treated her half decent because she doesn't even cower if I raise my hand.

All I am saying, is that I live in an unfriendly area towards pitbull. There is a chance that the pound will walk in there...look at a bunch of dogs tied up on chains. Look at a bunch of pitbulls...and say "These are fighting dogs, they're all going to die."

Kfamr, the difference between you and I is that I am positive, you are negative. Yes, it sucks that this guy will make $300 off of me. Technically, this dog isn't even worth that. She isn't even purebred, doesn't have shots, isn't fixed...

But I will be saving her life. She will be bringing joy into my home.

I think the unconditional love that I would get from Uma and the better life she will recieve outweighs a few hundred bucks by far. It isn't up to me to do justice on every evil person in the world. God will take care of that.
