Today we have a story of responsibility, one which goes against the grain of many animal abandonment stories and chooses instead to take the path of responsibility and rationality.

Adopting a doggo is no easy thing to do. There are a million factors that dictate how the whole thing is going to go and more often than not you can barely tell how any of the million will affect you and your doggo. The only thing that we can do as loving and responsible pawrents is to remain aware of these potential problems and when they come along to handle them graciously.


It is all about knowing when we are in too deep and when it is time to put our hands up and hand the problem to someone who is better equipped to deal with it. And we are so darn pleased that this is the story we have to share with you today, a story of great maturity and care for a canine who deserved every good thing in this world and got them.

    she's learning super fast. But I still can't teach her potty training, to leave the cats alone (she knows to not bother them but still tries to play with them sometimes) and to stop barking every

  • Well, this is a tough one. On the one hand just the mere fact that this young person is taking such measures to ensure the wellbeing of her pupper is already a promising development. On the other hand four cats is a lot for a dog anyway, let alone a high energy pit bull who still needs to learn boundaries. Taking on any dog is no small feat of patience and persistence, but a pit bull puppy is a whole load of extra work. If it were up to us we would tell her to find someone close to her who can help care for the pupper.

    Doesn't bark all the time just when she thinks it necessary Loves to meet other people and animals without trowing herself at them

  • Now that is quite the transformation right there. To think that only a little while ago this puppy could barely be stopped from agitating its sibling cats and now she can control her barking. That is quite the impressive transformation to undergo in such a short amount of time. But it goes to show that with the right conditions that support a doggo’s behavioral development anything is possible. Not to mention that pit bulls are little sweethearts who will do anything you ask of them for a treat. But most of all we find ourselves so impressed with this young person’s resolve and maturity to do all this without kicking up a fuss and understanding that the doggo’s wellbeing outweighs everything else.
