Wendy,
What a wonderful thing you did! I never knew how truly beautiful a
pit bull could be until I met my neighbor's dog. I wish I were more
knowledgeable so I could help you - but just wanted to thank you for doing
such a noble thing.
love,
elizabeth

Hi
guys,
My husband and I were driving out in the country
this
afternoon on our way home from visiting my grandfather
who just
had a pacemaker put in, and saw a white Pit
Bull (looks like a puppy; we
aren't sure) walking down
the side of a fairly busy road. It was
very emaciated
and looked like it was scavenging for food.
We
discussed it and turned around to check on the dog.
We pulled up
to the dog and I called out to it and it
wagged it's tail but
cowered. I got out of the car
and went over to the dog slowly, and
she just laid
down and rolled over. She was clearly starving,
and
not in great shape. She also looked like she had
been
nursing puppies, although I can't tell how long.
We
couldn't find any puppies nearby. We decided to take
the dog
home with us. We figured that even if she did
have puppies, she
couldn't take care of them if she
gets hit by the cars that were driving
by at 70+ mph,
or if she starves to death. Although I'm sad we
had
to leave her puppies (if there were any), I feel like
we made the
right decision. We stopped by Walmart and
bought wet food and water
and dishes and fed her on
the trip and she's now home with us. We
may or may
not keep her. My husband has always wanted a
pit
bull; he thinks they are beautiful. But we already
have two
dogs, and I don't know how they'll accept
her. She's completely
docile, but one of ours may
give her trouble. So far so good; our
two are in the
dog run right now and aren't growling at her. I
am
going to try to see if there's a Pit Bull Rescue here
in
Dallas. If we don't keep her, I don't want to
adopt her out myself
or turn her over to any shelter
because of her breed. I don't want
someone to adopt
her just to try to breed her or fight her. She
looks
and acts as if she's already been treated badly
enough. We
are going to take her to the vet and have
her checked out, probably
wormed, and given a pill to
dry up her milk. Does anyone have any
advice as to
how we should care for her? Anything else we can
do
for her?
Thanks,
Wendy
