This cutie was found in a park near my house tied to a fence for hours with no food or water, abandoned. He was nervous and barking for his life when we found him. We brought him some milk bone treats and water. He ate, then drank the entire bottle of water. Turned out to be a big sweetheart! He is available for adoption now. Animal ID A911220 at the Brooklyn Animal Shelter.
He is trained and actually listens. Looking back at the pics we took, he really is a puppy, which we couldn’t tell at the time. A beautiful pitbull pup that was abandoned by an idiot. I hate when I see animals mistreated by humans who don’t care. How can someone tie a dog up to a fence (on a VERY short leash so that he couldn’t even lay down) and just walk away? It’s sick. This breed of dog is misunderstood and popular for it’s image. They are strong, powerful dogs who need someone who is comfortable training and has patience, but they are incredibly loyal and loving.
As he was dropped off at the shelter (thanks to the help of the amazing Laurie from Brooklyn Foster Network), two thugs offered to meet us around the corner and pay cash for him. They were open about their plan to breed him for money. I shouldn’t be surprised that people can be that uncaring, it’s one of the reasons we didn’t want to leave this pit pup alone because a dog like that is valuable to certain people for certain awful purposes. I am hopeful he will find a loving home.
While he was being dropped off at the shelter I spent a few hours volunteering for the Brooklyn Foster Animal Network and I am happy to see in person that there are people who care about animals and who want to adopt rescues. If you know someone looking to adopt Ben (that’s what we named him) or any other dog or cat, send them a link to the Brooklyn Shelter!
Hello! I’m starting an In Her City Tumblr as a continuation of the blog I started a few years back on Blogger. Here I will talk about my love/hate relationship with fashion, art, and culture trends as well as my obsession with the retail biz from luxury Hermes to contemporary Alex Wang to fast fashion Forever 21.
I talk IPOs to merchandising and can be a bit more critical than most fashion blogs are, so get ready. Hope you enjoy and peruse my archives on blogger!
