[@leslieshand4509]

A rescued pittie will be my next dog. In the middle of selling my house and it would not be a good idea to bring him/her to a busy environment. Once I’m settled in I will go hunting for him/her with an open heart, just like he/she will be. They are tarred with a terrible brush. They all think they are a 5 kg lap dog. I saw one who had a pittie for a Mama and a Dalmatian for a Papa. She was gorgeous, and gentle and sweet. I really wish I had adopted her right then and there, but my life is just too chaotic to introduce a rescue, especially if we know how she ended up needing a kind and caring and loving and intelligent supportive and filled with gratitude to be honoured as her human. I hope this little one gets all of that with a new human

[@RuNescapeAiderP2PF2P]

Sr Dett That is usually not the case. If they were broke but genuinely cared for her, they would’ve called a rescue or even animal control so that she wouldn’t be a stray. Instead they abandoned her. It seems more like they just didn’t want to take care of her anymore and left.

[@88porpoise]

Chris Kent I don’t know how it is in LA. But in the rural area I grew up, we had to give up a dog when we couldn’t provide the situation she needed. Nobody would accept a dog from an owner. We did eventually find someone who took her in, but we had no rush to do so. And considering the neighbour said they were “evacuated” I doubt they had much time to prepare or plan, nor is it likely to be easy to find someone to take in a Pit bull. Now I am not saying that abandoning a dog is right, it absolutely isn’t. But I don’t know if finding her a home would have been nearly as simple and straightforward of a task as you suggest.

[@RuNescapeAiderP2PF2P]

@@88porpoise I appreciate your comment. I would like to point out that this is an urban area. As much as I wan't to believe that, in urban area's, there are usually dozens of rescues, shelters or animal control lots that will take in pets. I'm not trying to say that it is easy or a simple and mundane task. I just wanted to point out the fact that if one truly cares about their pet as a living being, then they would unfortunately not resort to such a thing as abandoning it in this way. I however do not know the previous owners situation so I am speaking from my point of view.

Statistically, Pitbulls are people friendly to a fault, many are not good at being a watchdog, they have been bred to be people friendly for 170 years or more.

Sometimes you have a choice - your kids, or the dog? Not everyone will get to keep both. I was living in Houston after Hurricane Katrina, and I went down to the AstroDome to volunteer. Houston ASPCA was there with dozens of cages for puppies and kittens and dogs and cats, even birds!, because the AstroDome would NOT let Katrina refugees in, with their pets. That’s how I met Penny and Kelvin - Kelvin was about 11, a skinny African-American boy with his parents and his little apricot-colored teacup toy poodle, “Penny”. Kelvin was screaming and crying and wouldn’t let go of Penny, but his parents were so exhausted and terrorized by everything they had been through, they lost their temper with Kelvin and I stepped in, and said “Kelvin, look here - Mommy and Daddy need to lay down and rest and get a hot shower and some food, but you cannot take Penny in there. Will you let me take Penny, and I will take good care of her?” “Nooooo!”, Kelvin screamed and stomped his feet and Penny hung onto Kelvin for dear life, too. Finally I said, “Kelvin, look at that policeman over there - I work with him at one of the hospitals in the Medical Center (nearby), and he knows me, and he knows that I would NEVER, EVER steal your Penny away from you. But why don’t you let me take her home with me, and you go in the AstroDome with Mommy and Daddy?” Well, he didn’t want to, but finally Kelvin let me take little Penny. When I got her home, Penny got a bath and good supper, and the next day - a Sunday - I took Penny back down to the AstroDome to find Kelvin so he could see that Penny was OK. I had Penny for several months; then one day Kelvin’s dad called me, and said they had a new place to live and they wanted their Penny back. I hung up the phone, and asked Penny, “You want to go see Kelvin?” We drove out Eldridge Parkway to the apartments where Kelvin lived now, and when she saw him, Penny spun around with the zoomies, she was so happy! There are plenty of good pets who get caught in terrible situations. Hurricanes. Earthquakes. Fires. Floods. Evictions. Domestic Violence. Their owners cannot always get their pet taken care of, before reality hits. And when reality hits they’ve got to GO, NOW. I’m not saying that’s what happened here. Maybe this sweet dog’s previous owners were callous and uncaring and they didn’t care what happened to their dog. But who knows? Not all stray dogs come from unloving families. It’s a precarious existence, in many, many parts of the world. And sometimes those parts of the world aren’t as far away as you would like to think they are. Sometimes those parts of the world are just on the other side of town.......

I can't ever understand how people can just abandon their pets, dogs especially. And especially Pitbulls, having owned one who looked very similar to this big beautiful girl, they are the most loyal , loving and gentle dogs . People who are found out abandoning them should serve jail time!! Its so good to see her smiling and happy with her new friends👌

[@barcrrt850]

She looks so happy now. Thank you for saving her life!

[@rf3811]

She is so special omg! Leaving her is like leaving a family member!! I just will never ever ever understand!!

[@vulpinesoul]

She sat when asked too, what kind of heartless, soulless creature do you have to be to abandon such a sweet girl?

[@donquichotedelamancha3969]

THE most cool, awesome and beautiful mind , pitbul i have seen

[@John-zr4mq]

So glad she survived out there. A lot of good people in that neighborhood.

[@rover5788]

Yes good neighborhood but I'm surprised no one took this beauty at home with them. :(

[@anthonychrisbradley]

@@rover5788 not everyone has the space or the time to bring in a dog. That they took care of her and fed her is plenty enough

[@dearbhladd]

She’s such a good girl

[@wingtrek8914]

We need more people on this planet like you guys.

[@SneakyShark]

Just watching her smell new smells outside of the compound was wonderful!

[@neilsthepoet]

The humility of this strong baby Love love love her

[@sharylllemana9233]

It's been a year but this rescue still brought smile in my face. The happy snort is priceless

[@effyligkanari]

Omg you HAVE to come to Greece...There're so many strays it makes me sad😔

[@lorenaa.garcia3539]

At least in Creta you have Takis shelter do you see his videos?

[@sirmeowthelibrarycat]

Lorena A. Garcia 👏 Takis does such wonderful work for so many dogs 🐕. Kind regards from a friend in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

[@LAAR]

She's so sweet! Thank you to the super HFP Team for always helping so many animals! 😊

[@Trancegirl1966]

Oh my goodness, Maple is gorgeous!!! I love that snorting, it's so cute. ❤❤❤

[@Mindy56743]

My best friend is a pit bull and the thought of him going through something like this makes me sick. I don’t understand how someone could do this. She is so loving and beautiful.

[@wordreet]

Ah, she's doing the snortles when she finally gets to lean against you! Truly adorable. I'm sure she's found her forever home by now!

[@chrisdavidson6519]

That's the pitbull trait I love when they lean all their body weight into you wanting you to give them attention I find it utterly adorable

[@clarissagold1090]

Sad how many pets have been abandoned during this period

[@RabuHina]

I know :( I dread how some people will treat their fellow human if they'd treat a dog so poorly. You'd think they'd put them up for adoption long before they move to a place where pets are not allowed, like give their pet a chance
