What an Idiot!!! *NEW RESCUE*PICS!!!!!!

[lute]

I got a call from a friend of mine that works at a coal mine. He said someone dropped off a Pit Bull at the mine the other day. The dog is filthy and just follows everyone wanting someone to love on him. He said he's been there for about 3 days. Today one of the other workers said if the Pittie isn't gone by tomorrow he was going to "bash him over the head with a shovel" I screamed and called my friend back. Told him I was going to come pick up the dog right now. He told me the dog is safe for tonight. Said someone else heard him say it and took the dog to the control room for the night. I go to work tomorrow morning, but when I get back I'm going to pick up this dog. Since we ended up keeping the Rally's puppy we cannot keep him permanently, but he's more than welcome to stay at home with me until a proper home is found.

I'm just so mad! How could anyone EVER think of doing such a thing to such a lovable dog?!?!?



Here are just a couple pics. I'll put the rest up tomorrow.
Me and The big guy!


big pittie smile!

Thank goodness others - your friend and the other person - overheard this guy, and the pooch is safe for tonight, and will have a temporary home with you - and a bath, I bet! We'll expect before and after pictures!

Oh yes, he'll be getting a bath tomorrow when he gets home with me. I'll take some pics of him before the bath and after the bath. I can't wait to see this dog. I love projects!haha

The sad thing is that the man was more then likey not being a smart ass. Unfortanately there are people ot there that don't care for animals and wouldn't give a rat's behind what happened to them. Your a good doggie momma looking out for him and taking him in like that god bless you

Well, The Pittie is here. No pics yet. Have to go to my other computer. He is a red and white Pittie with ears that stand, but are not cropped. He's a lil skinny, but not too bad. This guy is so smart! He knows sit and lay down and I think he's housebroken too! He gets along with the three other dogs. I wish I could keep him, but four dogs is WAAAY too much for me in this little house.

Tomorrow I am taking him to work to get a look over, vacc. and a HWT. Hopefully we can find him a proper home that won't dump him off at a dangerous coal mine.

Oh, and we are calling him Burn. It seems to fit him quite well. PICS SOON!

Thank god the dog has a great home now. Can't wait to see some pictures. Bet he is adorable and by the way, Burn is a great name.

A little frightened of the breed, but I would never "bash" any dog....that was a cruel thing to say. glad you have him in your care for now.

Another one charms his way into a PT home! Good work, bless you for taking care of him! Bath time, Burn!

[Blackrose]

Thank God you were able to take him in! He sounds like a cutie; I'm anxiously awaiting pictures.

Is there any legal recourse that can be taken against a rat like that who threatens to bash a dog in the head with a shovel?

People around here don't care. The only thing I can do is what I did, take the dog.

Here's the deal. We've been thinking about rehoming Rally for the past week or so. She needs a place to run offleash every day. We aren't just rehoming her because Burn, who we are now calling Brick is here. There is more to it then that. Rally is also food agressive. Not a good thing since my 9yr old brother is here. We are considering keeping Brick, but we aren't making any choices right now. We'll see how his temperment is.

Look at that adorable face. How could somebody threaten to beat him. He is adorable. Love his smile too.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh geez! That is a cute widdle face if I ever saw one! He looks strikingly like a boxer in some parts.
