My friend rescued a bait dog, she was the sweetest most loving dog. She lived the best years of her life with my friend. She got along so well with her other dogs. Its almost always bad humans.

Yes, I, too, have taken care of a bait dog. Despite his history, he continues to love humans and adore dogs, wanting to meet them all. A huge lesson to us humans in forgiveness.

Arnt they! My old boy couldn’t wait to get in the curve of my knee. He also slept in bed much to hubbys disgust. He did try to stop this sleeping arrangement but was rewarded by Rick weeping on everything he owned or put down on the floor lol. Soon as he got back in bed he stopped peeing on his stuff lol

The shelter should play soothing music, it helps with anxiety.Our local shelter does this!

Thank you. I actually thought the same EXACT thing when I was hearing the dogs barking. Very soft music would relax them.

My Little Guy flinched like that for the rest of his life. I learned immediately to slow down, to not trigger that fear. He had scars, poor baby. He learned to come for treats and hugs. I finally gave up on car trips, he thought he was going away. I cried every time he went insane in the car.

[@Madronaxyz]

It warms my heart to hear about the effort you put into helping your little guy. Bless you.

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

@@Madronaxyz He was middle aged starvling when I got him, and lived 9 years with me. I always had kibble in his bowl and he never went hungry for a second. But I hand fed him little bits of meat and he loved raw vegetables maybe because I ate raw vegetables? One day he came up and begged for something already on my fork, and without thinking I offered him the fork! His first request after a couple years. He delicately took it off the fork like to the manor born and wanted to sit next to me and fed his delicacies by fork ever after. It was so funny cute to see him sit up straight and eat with a fork, I fed him on his chair right next to me for years. His body language became royal prince instead of quivering prisoner. Worth it!

[@mothershelper1981]

Sounds a lot like my Chihuahua when we first got her. She would shake and shiver all over and when I talked, every consonant I'm made caused her to jump and twitch. She also loved vegetables when I introduced them to her!

I had never adopted a pit bull. We lost our little one & had to get back happiness. We went down to the shelter & saw a pit bull. We did the meet & greet & the family said yes right away, I still said no- I got voted over. We have had this dog for 3 years now, she was 3 when we got her. She gets 2 walks a day, loves everybody, loves to cuddle. Lilo is awesome. I'm so glad I got out voted. She never seems to have a down day, well.. tomorrow is her yearly shots so she could be feeling low tomorrow. If you never have had a pit, please give them a try. They are strong, act like a train, but gosh they are as loveable, fun & super friendly as you will ever find.❤

[@brokenrecord3523]

😫 The incessant cuddling!!! pit bulls, maybe the sweetest dogs in the world.

[@jeremygough1387]

I had a tan Staffy bitch named Lucy. The first time I took her for a walk all the local kids ran. The next time the kids wanted to get to know her. After that all the kids called her Licky Lucy but walking her was a nightmare because I had 8 young ones who wanted to come along with us.

[@maryfehrenbach9893]

I had a pitti in the early '80's. His name was Bull due to my husbands birth month. I cannot tell you how swee this dog was. When I would sit in my chair he would come up to me and would lay his head in my lap. Then he would take one of my thumbs in his mouth. When I would try to pull it out he would latch on to it even stronger. Then he would lift his front legs onto my lap, then after a few minutes he would then pull up his back legs onto my lap....all the while 'sucking' on my thumb. Then the the next thing would be him laying across my chest with his head wrapped around my neck! He was so protective of me yet he was the most gentle dog I've ever owned. He was just so wonderful!!!!! I still miss him. My sister now owns a female pitti due to how I expressed how sweet they are. Her dog is just so damn sweet! She will lay against me while I sit on the sofa!!!! She is just beyond sweet!!! I love her!!!

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

Yes and yes! Pitbulls are the sweetest.

[@maryfehrenbach9893]

I have to say that after reading your comment several time I still don't understand what you are saying until the end.. I KNOW Pit Bulls are wonderful! They are the perfect dog to own!!!

[@LeannaRuthJensen]

Our dog was like Kuma 9 years ago. Breed to the point of her body not being able to breed anymore. The breeder said we could take her if we paid for the spaying. She has been a wonderful addition to our family. We did have a transition period to get her healthy and happy but so very worthy it.

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

Thank you for saving her. ❤

Shelters should put sound dampening tiles on the ceiling, like recording studios, to cut down the sharp noise.

I adopted a girl like Kuma. She wasn't quite cancer she "disappeared" in her kennel & she'd been there several months. But another volunteer fell in love with her & introduced me to her. I adopted her about a month later & she was the best dog I'd ever had (& i've had a lot in my 60+ yrs). I was going through cancer treatments when I got her & she was definitely my emotional support. We were inseparable. Sadly I lost her about 2 months ago...she was 13. I've been broken hearted. 💔

I agreed to foster an American Bully 4 years ago to keep him from being euthanized. I have two other dogs so I was hoping he would be adopted. After about six months I realized I couldn’t give him up. He knew I had saved him and he became so attached to me I couldn’t let him down by sending him to another home. I have zero regrets. He is my 56 pound lap dog.

Me too! I have never been able to stand ppl that use animals to make money by breeding. I guess some are okay and my family mainly bought from breeders. My own father bred German Long Hair pointers. He only did so for close friends. My dad didn’t do it for money. Sometimes you see them end up in shelters. I also can’t stand dog snobs. Cat snobs suck too.

I have been lost and lonely without her. She was what I called, "The Dog Whisperer". All dogs seemed to love her, and she loved them. She could encounter the most unsocialized dog, and immediately have them sitting and waging their tails. I don't think she ever encountered a dog that didn't love her. God Bless you, for the work you and your wife do.

She is a living doll…I remember my Addie (the Australian cattle dog mix I adopted from AARF here in Tennessee three years ago)…but she had a fantastic foster mom in Chris 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 and Addie…kept her name…has become my best friend…God bless you for all you do…pities get a bad rep….all rescue sources are God’s gifts to mankind 🙏🙏🙏…Sophia’s tail wagging and Kuma’s paw lift brought me to tears 😥😥😥

> wish people would do a little research before they buy a dog and abandon the dog and break the dogs heart.

My 2 rescues are chihuahua mixes. They were 6 yrs old and they were a package deal. They both had to go together. They were so scared and wild I could not touch them. 6 years later they are spoiled rotten cuddle bugs. It took alot of work. They taught me patience. I wondered more than once what I got myself into. I thought once about taking them back but it was an instant NO, I'm keeping them! I love them! Best thing I ever did. ❤❤❤

That's *wonderful!* Thank you for adopting your *dynamic duo,* and being *patient* as they became more *trusting* and *confident.* 💖 🐕 🐕 🐾🐾

[@cherylmontgomery9753]

Thanks for adopting them together. I can only imagine how hard and trying it must have been for you. But you stuck it out like a champ and you are a wonderful person for doing so!

My heart breaks for Kuma!! Such a sweet puppy dog.😍 I hope she gets a Super good home, lots of love.

[@petfixer14]

I love what you do for these dogs. Without the extra exposure, they probably would sit there longer.

[@gerdapons5730]

This make me so sad..to see that she is so afraid and not trusting breaks my heart..thank you for helping them.

Sierra spoke to my heart! So much love in her eyes just begging for someone upon whom she can shower it. I used to be afraid of Pitties until we rescued an abandoned and starving one with mange. Right from the start she was the most loving dog, and so social with people and other dogs despite what she'd been through. I wish everyone knew how loving Pitties can be, and in your lap, every chance they get, plus kisses, loads and loads of kisses!
