She Found A New Home!!

That is wonderful news! My dog is a rescue and she was the best addition to my life. They make the best dogs. Do not buy a puppy mill puppy. The people that sell them are cruel to the animals. There are so many in shelters that need homes. I don’t don;t think they ever forget that you saved them from the shelter.
So glad to hear a good deed was rewarded. I hope everyone involved has much success and happiness.

Pitbulls are amazing dogs and in need of loving families to adopt them from the shelters. My husband and I adopted a 2 1/2 year old rescue pit bull from a kill shelter 4 months ago and Rosie has been nothing but an incredibly loving and loyal dog for our family. I too grew up with labs and was initially hesitant to adopt a breed that had such negative stigma associated with it. But all of our research we did coupled with our time with Rosie quickly helped us realize how misunderstood and mischaracterized pit bulls are. We have a 17th month old son. Rosie could not be more incredible with him. She’s patient, calm and gentle and happily puts up with the occasional tail pull. Pit bulls get a bad rap from the small subculture that abuses them and uses them for fighting. Pits by breed are one of the most human-loving dog breeds and actually (what most people don’t know) score higher on temperment tests than labs, goldens and many of the other “family” dogs. In addition, they are responsible for far fewer human bites than most other popular breeds. It’s just that the media loves to showcase the unfortunate bit bull incidents and ignore the others. So please, consider adopting a bit bull. All they really want to do in life is flop on their back and have their belly rubbed.

I’ve followed your blog and loved your site for such a long time but these posts about this beautiful dog have most definitely been the most touching (not that your other stuff isn’t great – it is, but I have a soft spot for unwanted dogs, having rescued one myself). You did a great thing using your site to reach out for help. And I’m so glad that through your initiative you were able to find this sweetheart a new home. It’s good to see that a dog who’d had such a dark life has now found such great luck and a fabulous new home. =) *hug*

Run, don’t walk to your nearest shelter + scoop up a pit bull right now!! For all that offered to house this beautiful pup, there are currently over 200 pit bulls in the Philadelphia City Shelter. Ironically, we are the city that’s major sports franchise employs the most notorious dog fighter in history. Take a chance + see how amazing, intelligent + loyal these beautiful dogs can be. Save a pit bull’s life today, without you – they’ll never see the light of day.

Thanks Scout to you and your girlfriend. In a week when the world has seen what hate for no reason or by assumption (like our friends the pitbulls) achieves, you are more than example of the good in people. You went above and beyond for that dog and gave all of us around the world a chance to reflect back in your honor. As my way of saying thank you, I would like to offer a match of $500.00 toward your film. If everyone who commented on your post gives $5, coupled with my $500.00, you will be close to your goal. I have the utmost confidence that the amazing community that rallied around this dog will be more than happy to rally once more around you. Best, Julie

Good idea, Julie. I will donate $5.00 now, to pay it forward. I had a few people rally to assist me when I too found a pit tied up just over a year ago. Thanks for being you, Scout!

yay! from a cat lover.

i’m a bit scared of dogs, but they deserve better then this girl has received in the past– we all deserve the good treatment that you’ve given her, and that her new people are going to give her!!!

i’m sitting here with my two aging kitties, one i adopted as an adult when her mom moved to london and had to give her up, the other i adopted as a kitten from a shelter– he had been a feral guy rescued and socialized by the local group fix our ferals!

they are both so sweet and loving– my girl is a bit feeble at 14, she had a stroke two years ago and is blind now and a bit slower then she used to be but still loves laps, wet food and sleeping under the covers– and the younger ex-feral guy is astonishingly social and affectionate, follows me around the house and is pretty much my constant companion.

for those who can’t take in a dog– be aware that pounds and shelters are also full of loving sweety cats who are hoping to be taken in by good people. black cats, older cats and formerly ferals have a lot of trouble finding homes and will reward all your affection tenfold! having adopted all three, i would never get a cat from a breeder.

(athough if you are currently a dog person, be aware that cats socialize differently– they are just as loving and affectionate but they are shyer, and you will need tips from a cat person on how to interact, cat manners are different from dog manners. 🙂 )

This fills my heart so much to know she has successfully found a home.

But you are beyond correct when you state that there literally thousands of unwanted pets who may have been through a hell of a lot worse looking for their forever homes. I encourage every one of those who were willing to take this poor girl in to do what Scounting NY has suggested and check out a local shelter to take one of these loving creatures home. Or if you can’t then donate – money, time, supplies; they need it all!

This just made my day. It breaks my heart to see all the pics everyday of the dogs that need homes. They are so frightened and confused. I am overjoyed that this girl found a loving home. Thank you just doesn’t cover it. You are so wonderful.

Thank you for what you did! and also for mentioning the countless other animals who need help as well!! cheers to Scout!
