SPARTACUS THE WONDERBULL

 |
Spartacus the Wonderbull’s mom, Amy Brakhane, says, “Spartacus was starved and abused and then dumped at the shelter. He was so weak he couldn’t stand or walk on his own. Spartacus was so skinny that his hip bones stuck out, and the vet said that he was very sick and needed medical care. So the shelter found a wonderful foster mom to take him in and get him healthy." |

WALTER THE ELDER BULL
|
 |
Walter’s mom, Lynn Ready, says, “Walter was found abandoned and wandering the streets of Steubenville, Ohio, in a rough neighborhood. The shelter where he ended up was not allowed to adopt out Pit Bulls (they’re euthanized), but a friend there managed to get him out of the shelter and give him to me. I wasn’t intending on adding another dog to our pack, but Walter turned out to fit in very nicely with our family." |

LADY BUG THE PIBBLE MIX
|
 |
Lady Bug’s mom, Merrily Tithof, says, “It was October 17th, 2009. My daughter was driving home from college at night, and in the middle of the road she saw a very scared and extremely thin young dog. She stopped and got out of her car. This poor dog was so scared that it ran around the car for a while before my daughter was able to get her in the car, and then she brought Lady Bug to our home. She was so thin, and her paws were bleeding and blistered, probably from walking forever, and she was covered in fleas and ticks. But she was also the sweetest dog and such a gentle soul." |

SHILA

 |
Shila’s mom, Rose Tremblay, says, “Shila was brought to a Florida rescue in February 2011 as a stray with a broken leg. The rescue couldn’t afford to fix her leg because it would require an amputation, so they brought the 5 month old Pit Bull Terrier to the animal shelter to be euthanized. Erica Daniel, founder of Dolly’s Foundation, happened to work at the shelter, and as soon as she saw Shila, she knew she had to save her. Shila was taken to the veterinarian, and he confirmed her left front leg would have to be amputated. After her surgery, Shila was fostered and rehabbed by Erica as the newest member of Dolly’s Foundation." |

HOPE AND HER SISTER CAMILLE
|
 |
Angel City Pit Bull’s Eve-Marie Kuntzman says, “Things weren’t always so lucky for Hope. While most people were enjoying their holiday preparations this past December, Hope was wandering the streets of South Los Angeles. Alone, cold, starving, and afraid, Hope found herself upon the doorsteps of the animal shelter. She was four years old, emaciated, and neglected, so you can imagine the excitement when the shelter workers found she had a microchip! Could this be a happy ending for Hope?" |

CHEYENNE

Cheyenne’s mom, Sarah Jackson, says, “In 2008 I was on my way to a wedding when my best friend called from Tennessee. She said she knew I had always wanted an English Mastiff and told me she and her mother had rescued a puppy from a backyard breeder. I was stopping at her house that night and told her I would look at the puppy, but that I already had two large dogs and a small house. When I arrived, I met the puppy who was all skin and bones, full of fleas, and was so shy that she would barely look at humans. My friend told me her story of how a couple decided to breed purebred Mastiffs and sell them to make money. Apparently, they weren’t good at the selling part and my friend’s mom was told that the breeder had injured a puppy and killed it, and others had died from health problems. In the end, Cheyenne was the only one to survive." |
