I know of a sweet very non-aggresive pit/Amstaff. that needs a home ASAP! I will have to take him in if I cannot find a Rescue for him. He is great with people, super submissive also with all dogs! Cats Im not sure of. I told her if she cannot find a good home to give him to me and I would find a good for him. Anyone have any ideas? I just love these babies, especially little lovies like this! But I can NOT have another dog in my house right now. I really want to help them. It is 50.00 to PTS this guy, and thats what will happen Sept. 14 if I can't think of something. Any suggestions would be appreciated though!
That is a good idea! I will call her tomorrow after work and see if I can arrange that! Ill post it up here if I can tomrow night if she has taken any that she could email me. Either that or I will try to figure something out! Im thinking so hard it actually hurts! I just would hate to see her put him down! But I am very sure that will happen if I don't do something fast!
The owner said she called every rescue, but I did drop an Email into the rescue I volunteer for tonite! I just know he is such a sweet boy, and I have a couple of ideas, but they are probably long shots. But its worth a shot, and Ill try to do my best.
You can also try out of state. Some places are so dead set on saving a pets life they will drive over the state line to get the animal and care for it.
Actually you just gave me another idea, so thank you PD! I just have to hurry, because my Mia is still a little dog aggresive, so I would hate to see the two here fighting and growling at each other, but I will try to manage it if I can help this poor guy!
I hope everything works out for him I would take him if I could but there are alot of people who do dog fighting around here so Iwould be to afraid he would be stolen for that purpose.
Me too! Thats why she hasnt given him to anyone, she lives in an area also where she is scared they will use him for "bait" . So she is so scared because he is such a sweet little boy, she calls him a little B word. Thats awful I know, thats why I have to help him. If I can get a pic up I will tomorow!
good luck in finding him a home lovin. our neighbor had a pit that wandered into her yard. she talked to animal control and they dont put pits to sleep anymore .they run them through a personality screen to see if they will be friendly enough to place. she was extremely loving so i,m sure she will get a home. she was a pretty girl too. heres a pic i took of her.
I got Sampson {thats his name!} Into my rescue! YEEAAA!!! I am picking him up tomorrow, and my neighbor who has one Pit boy already has agreed to foster him for 2 weeks, and if it dosnt work out then hopefully we will have Mia{ my strange dog aggressive girl} used to being around Sampson, and I will just foster him!! Im so happy I could help this poor guy, and I cant wait to pick him up. I guess he is not neutered, not current on vaccinations, and has the mange that is not catchy! So I will bring him to the Rescues Vet to get him all the things he needs! Yea! Im so excited! This poor guy that has been passed around twice, will soon be safe and sound, and get the care he desperatly needs and deserves! Im so Happy, happy happy! I guess he has some bald spots now, so he may not look pretty! His owner did get the skin scrapings done and its not the catchy type, but the owner said she wasnt going to keep him so didnt want to pay for it! Sampson is going to NEVER have to worry about anything now that he is a Pet Haven baby!!!!
aawww poor guy, getting passed around .at least he is being taken care of now. getting the mange treated will be the biggest help of all. that stuff can really do a job on an animal if its left untreated. its great that he will have a home. you might even get attached and keep him yourself. i love a happy ending ! lol
Ah- DONT even say that I may keep him! ...lol !! Mia is enough work for me! The good kind of work though! Not to mention I can not afford another dog at all. Because of Holly! I just wanted to help Sampson because I have heard nothing but good things about his personality, and since I am at capasity in my home now, I just do pre-screenings for my Rescue and answer phone messages, and do return phone calls when people have messages about our dogs at Pet Haven. Plus Holly will have her surgery in a few weeks, and it wouldnt be good for her to have a rambunctious youngster coaxing her to play! Also Pet Haven has 2 different foster people that will take Sampson or any Pit Bulls for that matter, and as soon as they place one of there fosters, Sampson will have another Foster if needed! If not, or if I prefer he will stay with me. I hate to admit it but I already am in love with him, and just know I will cry when he gets placed! Im glad my neighbor will foster for us! Ill let you know Dusty and try to get a pic of him when we get him tomorrow-I am so excited! My neighbor who has a pit already{ and has agreed to foster} is just so excited as well! She said Timber would love a playmate! She just tore up all her carpet in one room of her basement, and is getting that room dog proofed as we speak!{ For when she is at work ! } She loves Pits so much, and she is so happy to help Sampson! Hopefully everything will work out with them! Im so happy there will definatly be a happy ending for Sampson!
I only have 10 minutes{ and I type slow!} and I have to go back into work! Just wanted to say poor Sampson-{We call him Sam now! } Looked HORRIBLE! Adorable of course, and looks more to me like a Bull Terrier mixed with Pit Bull! But we got him on Sunday , and he looked like one neglected boy! He is at the Vets as we speak. Big bald spots and skinny. I will pick him back up after work today! He spent one night here, on Sunday night, and he cried at night! Poor guy. His Mange WAS the catchy kind! I guess by the time I saw him, I wasnt surprised. Ive never seen that in real life, only pics! But he is getting meds for that, he got neutered this morning, and is microchipped and vaccinated now! Yea!!!! I cant believe people, how could they have let him go without treatment! I am happy at least she told me about him and just didnt dump him off to anybody, or to a kill shelter. My neighbor who will foster him has a digital camera so we will get pics soon! As soon as we get a pic, he will be listed on Pet Finder! He is such a nice boy, and WILL be even more georgeous after his hair comes in and he eats GOOD food on a REGULAR basis. Ive cried many times since I picked him up from the home he was in, its sad and so apparent he was neglected. But Im also happy that my Rescue did all that vet work for him! Hope we find a good home soon for this cutie! He is very unique looking, and VERY much a puppy still!
thats great lovin. it looks like things are starting to look up for that poor guy. i dont see how people can let mange go untreated the way that stuff spreads. hopefully he will find a good home, but it sounds like he is where he will be takin good care of for now. keep us posted and am looking forward to seeing some pics !
