COMPASSION: VONN - It’s a Miracle He Survived!
8–9 month old puppy—used as a bait dog—doused with lighter fluid—
set on fire...and he lived!

This past August, two Pit Bulls, a day apart, wandered onto the property of a good Samaritan outside of College Station, Texas, looking for a drink of water from her leaky water hose. There had been a record 60+ days of over 100°F scorching temperatures. The female, believed to be Vonn’s mother, had burns on about 20% of her body, a broken pelvis, and multiple bites, scratches, and wounds. The nice lady took “Esparanza” to her local vet who agreed to care for her. |

AGAINST THE ODDS: SMOKEY THE PIT BULL A SURVIVOR'S STORY!
FROM ACID POURED ON HIM AS A PUP—TAKEN TO A KILL SHELTER—RESCUED BY HIS DADDY—AND NOW A HAPPY-GO-LUCKY PITTIE WHO IS SPREADING THE LOVE!

Smokey the Pit Bull was found abandoned at three months old with severe acid burns down his back in Bakersfield, California, in July 2009 and was brought to the animal shelter where he would be euthanized due to his severe injuries. When Tyler Z Nasise saw the posting about this abused little Pittie, he rescued Smokey from the high-kill shelter and brought him back home to San Diego, CA. There, the dog underwent eight months of treatment and surgeries to heal his extensive injuries. Tyler says, “Smokey has never harbored any grudges or distrust with people due to his past abuse. He’s 2½ years old now and he absolutely loves everyone, all the people and animals he meets—no matter what their size, shape, or type!” |

AWESOME ATTITUDE: INDIGO WHEELED TERRIER JONES
Abused. Rescued. Adopted. Loved. Turned Pittie Advocate. Proof That with Love Anything Is Possible!
|
 |
A wonderful act of kindness by a compassionate family changed a Pit Bull’s life from a nightmare into a dream come true. Indigo Wheeled Terrier Jones, “Indy” for short, was kept chained outside and was abused by his former owner. One night, as his owner beat him with a shovel and kicked him repeatedly, a neighbor made an anonymous call to 911, and the police and animal control arrived. The owner was arrested; the severely injured Pittie was placed in a shelter as evidence in the criminal proceedings against his abuser. The shelter was instrumental in helping Indy and getting him placed into Ring Dog Rescue, a nonprofit Pit Bull and bully breed rescue located in Richmond, Virginia. |

THANK GOD FOR NOSY NEIGHBORS: LILY THE PIT BULL
Rescued by Pennsylvania SPCA Animal Cops when the TV show Animal Cops: Philadelphia showed up at her house because a neighbor had called and reported the abuse going on!
|
 |
Alexandra Golaszewska first heard about Lily from her brother who was working on the show Animal Cops: Philadelphia. He had emailed her asking if she would be interested in fostering a dog they had just rescued filming a show. From the information gathered, Alexandra says, “Someone had called the humane law enforcement because there was a dead dog in a neighbor’s backyard (an autopsy later showed that he had died of starvation). The caller said that they had originally seen the dog alive, and there were also other pets in the house. When the Pennsylvania SPCA Animal Cops (and the TV crew) arrived, they found Lily and another dog alive in the house.” |

ENJOY LIFE EVERY DAY: PETEY THE ONE-EYED WONDER
This handsome Pittie might just have one eye, but he’s a huge hit with the girls and he sure loves his daddy!
|
 |
In the first few days of August 2011, Petey was turned in as a stray to a Maricopa County Animal Shelter, in Arizona, and scheduled for euthanasia because of his disfigurement—his left eye was missing and his face was swollen and distorted. Luckily for Petey, his picture was taken by a group called 5AM Babies, and it was posted on Facebook with a plea asking for a rescue group to sponsor him so that he might avoid his death sentence. |
