A Dog's Love

No matter where she does, there’s one thing Michelle Thomas knows for sure. If she brings tiny pit bull Delta along, they’ll get so much attention that they’ll be late!

Mama Pickles was heavily pregnant when she was spotted all on her own in September. At two years old, the pup was in serious need of help. Animal control officers were able to get her into a shelter, but when they contacted the pup’s family, they said they no longer wanted the precious two-year-old pooch.

It is often difficult for animals to adjust to life in a shelter. Even though they are safer within one than outside on the streets, the stressful environment – which often involves them being kennelled or surrounded by countless other pets – can take a toll on them.

Athena the rescue pit bull was very confused when Isaiah Lenotte’s big sister went away for college. Upset and missing her closest companion, Athena drew closer to Lenotte, and the two became very close. Little did Lenotte know that this bond would save his life.

When Karlyn the 2-year-old pit bull pup was first rescued, she was extremely anxious and miserable. The pup was found in South Carolina as a stray, but it was clear that she had likely been dumped by someone and may have been abused. She was timid and terrified of everyone.
