Meet Billy: A Touching Puppy Mill Rescue Video

[dorkzilla]

28. Chloe is a very lucky girl (at least after meeting you)

I can't even think of what I'd do to the person who injured her in such a way. Absolutely horrible the way people treat their animals.

I had 5 rescued dogs and 5 cats at my zaniest. Got a divorce, he bought a house and I moved into an apartment so I took the kitties and he got the dogs. Though 2 of our dogs have passed on, I'm still very much their mom and am still involved in their lives. But still, I had to back away from my rescue activities in the past few years, mostly because I'm just as sucky at it as you are. Andi get emotional about all of them.

And, I'm sure you know this, but the media is as much to blame for the bad reputation of the pits as the dickheads who encourage aggressive behavior in them. Here is a short but informative article from the SPCA: http://www.aspca.org/fight-animal-cruelty/advocacy-center/animal-laws-about-the-issues/pit-bull-bias-in-the-media.aspx

If you haven't yet read it, the Canine Research Council has a good (not so short) read "The Pit Bull Placebo: http://nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/uploaded_files/publications/230603563_Pit%20Bull%20Placebo.pdf. I spend half my time educating people about pits and these are always great to refer to.

Again, Dog Bless You!
