Pit bulls really do have a rough go of it in this world. They did not choose to be born into this world with the reputation that we have given them over they years. They simply came into this world looking for love and affection, and like almost any other doggo who is denied those basic needs, they become rather fed up with hoomans. But here we have a heartwarming example of a pawdorable pit bull pupper who knows nothing but love, who still has hope in her heart and while he was discarded by her previous owners, she persisted to find the love that she so deserved.

Enter our rescuer, who did everything in her power to return the pupper to her pawrents, whom she hoped would actually want their dog child back. But after days of searching, there was only one conclusion that could be reached. And that was that this cute canine would simply have to live happily ever after alongside her rescuer in the wholesome home they share together. Not a bad way for things to go.

    laps Looks like she recently had puppies based on her nipples, and her ears are docked a bit too short, BUT she's somewhat clean and her dewclaws look trimmed, so I think she has/had a home.

  • Goodness, what a poor pupper. By the sounds of it she was used as a breeding doggo and then when she was of no more use to the breeder, she was discarded like a common piece of trash. An outcome that absolutely no doggo deserves to have to come up against. Luckily she put her paws and trust into the right hooman this time it seems.

    It's Saturday and every animal shelter I can find in Fort Worth is closed until Monday. What do I do? Do I put up signs and just hope someone claims her? I have a dog and a cat and don't want

    (For the record I'd prefer to take her to a shelter and wait the week out just in case someone claims her, but if not I'll 100% go back for her she is too sweet)

    A few people asked for an update regarding this sweet girl I found this last weekend and I can't edit original post.

    So no one claimed her at the shelter or responded to any of the found pet posts, and she wasn't chipped. Called every pitbull rescue within 2 hours from me and they all either have a long

  • Honestly, it really does sound as though it was fate that brought these two souls together, just as they both needed one and other. Either that or incredible canine intuition in terms of choosing a pawrent who would give her the love and care that she deserved.

    conflicted like I was the adult saying "no we literally can't afford another pet!" and also the little kid begging "can't we keep her please!" all at once, and it was the push I needed.

    After three sleepless nights worrying about her being unclaimed and redlisted by the shelter, I decided I had to make it work and messaged my landlord about adding her to the lease. She's going to
