Hannah
Hannah is another one of our good news/bad news pit bull stories. First the bad news. One of our foster families has a special place in their hearts for pit bulls. They know that so many pit bulls are unfairly denied a home because people simply misunderstand how wonderful they can be. Sure, there are…
Louise
Louise was found in Queens, New York, shaved , bound and gagged, tied to a tree. When our volunteers picked her up she was understandably terrified of everyone and everything. After some good food, a warm bath, a comfortable bed and lots of affection, Louise started coming around. She slowly started to sit next to…
Queenie
Queenie the Pit Bull was one of the sweetest dogs we’ve ever had. Her life started out on a very rough road, as is the case with many shelter dogs. She had pups before she was one year old. Her pups were taken away and she was chained inside a closet. Her owners then moved,…
Sugar
Sugar was wandering the streets of East Orange and was picked up by animal control and brought into the pound. A pound is intended to be a seven day holding facility and if unclaimed, the poor dog is put to sleep. Sugar was lucky that the administrator of this pound bent the rules often and…
X-Ray
X-ray was a pathetic little character when we first got her. She weighed just a few pounds, was malnourished, dehydrated, had scabies, rickets and was covered with sores. Because of this, her head was bigger than her body could support. So she even had trouble holding her head up. Her legs were bowed and she…
Nicky
How could a dog as beautiful as Nicky be so pitiful? Nicky was found roaming the streets, alone and frightened. He was captured, taken to the overcrowded shelter and put in a crate. His crate was at the bottom of a stack of three high. Nicky was so timid, he would squeeze himself as far…
Robbie
When we first came upon Robbie, he was desperately ill. This poor little boy was in a tiny crate at the shelter, just waiting to die. He was scrawny, filthy and very sick. His kennel cough was quickly turning into pneumonia. He couldn’t gain weight. He didn’t want to eat. He clearly was going to…

Mr. Roo
Aunt Mary, I can honestly say that we are both so very happy that we adopted Roo. At 6 months I think he is doing really well. He knows around 20 words now and learns more each day. I especially love the drop it command. He understands that one so well that it can even…
Logan

She is doing great and has the sweetest disposition! Never barks. She loves the outdoors and does not mind inclement weather. (Last week’s rainy weather serves…
