What do I do with this girl????

mom2furbabies · 05-22-2006, 12:55 PM

Here's the short story. My husband has a friend that works in law enforcement in another parish. He called DH yesterday about a call on a pit bull roaming the neighborhood. Pit Bulls are illegal in this parish, so if this girl was sent to the shelter, she would have been euthanized. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

So, knowing that we are animal lovers, he automatically call us. Of course, we say we'll take her until we find her a good home. She's about 5-6 mths at best guess, and an absolute doll. She's going to the vet later this week to be heartworm tested and make an appt to spay. So, although she's not a basset, I thought I'd give her an introduction here until we can find her a good home.

Here she is making herself right at home in my daughter's bed!

Checking out the back yard! Notice the powdered donut on the side of her face. I couldn't turn her down when I was having one of my no-no treats for breakfast, but she wanted to play with it more than eat it, lol.

We also need a name for this girl, but I'm drawing a blank! So, we've been just calling her "girl"! I'm definately not at my most creative.

She is very pretty. Bully breeds are great dogs, they make great companions.

She has such a gentle expression in her eyes. I sure hope she finds a home where she's treated well. Good for you, for saving her.

She is a beauty. She does have a sweet expression. She looks really at home in that bed.

Yea that kinda looks like her bed.

She is really cute. I have had pitbulls growing up and they are very sweet dogs. I think it's just the way people raise them that give them such a bad rep. I think a cute name for a sweet girl like her would be tinker bell. I would love to have a dog like her if I could. I have my handsful with my little hound dog though. I hope everything turns out good for you guys.

Love that pinky nose!!!

how about "Molly" or "Sadie" or "Dixie" for her new name?

Update!!!!

My father-in-law has a friend who currently has 1 pit and was looking to add another to the family soon. He says they are a wonderful couple and treat their current dog like a baby!!! We are going to meet them tonight, but if all looks good, it looks like she may have a forever home already. I'm so excited for her.

I let you all know how the meeting goes. Keep your fingers crossed for this sweet girl; I hope it's as good as it sounds

I really hope all works out for this lovely girl.

We had a pit growing up and he was an awesome member of the family. It is just sad that the breed is paying the price for the short-comings of those who mistreat them.

The local pitbull rescue has been selling shirts to raise funds that say "Don't Blame the Wrong End of the Leash". Hope everything works out and that you can find her a good home- she's beautiful-
