Dion needs a home!

[sammiec]

This is Dion. She is a 1 1/2 year old pit bull. Dion is a very happy dog that gets along well with everyone. She must be spayed ASAP and needs a rabies vaccine. Crate and obedience training are recommend because she is still very much a puppy. Dion must go to an experienced home only.

DION IS BEAUTIFUL.........It's too bad, she is soooooooo cute.
I don't understand how people can be so heartless, especially around Christmas time.

Welcome back by the way sammiec......Happy New Year.

Thanks Whinnie! I'm back... but being selective about what I read...

It really is heart breaking. The only good thing is that shelter the dogs are very well cared for, since there is always a low number of them.. and they seem to move in and out fairly quickly...

I was so saddened to see the number of cats there. I have never seen so many in that shelter! Poor little guys!

It would take a great deal of courage to adopt a pit bull today but some brave souls still do it. In October for 'adopt a dog month' I posted the pictures of all the dogs at the local humane society. I believe that the results were pretty good as one of my fellow employees left me a voice mail - I had made a typo in the phone number but the man who answered the phone indicated that he had already redirected quite a few calls.

One of the dogs was a pit bull whose previous owner tied her to a tree down by the canal, removed the tags and walked away. I fell in love with her and as this was around the time Michael Bryant started his PR exercise so my I feared for her. I already own two dogs and there is no way I could have a third right now - not until I stop renting and that house in the country dream is realized. Every time I went back she looked worst. She was becoming depressed and gaining weight. My heart broke for her.

Just before Christmas I went in with some speciality treats for all the dogs and a huge black Kong for this sweetheart. She had been adopted, by a dog walker. While I was there he came in off the road. This man had two dogs already and still had room for her (and to walk the dogs at the shelter) . She now lives on the beach with her pit bull brother and one other smaller mixed dog. My Christmas gift had come early and I left with a smile on my face. Michael Bryant wouldn't get his hands on this one (god I hate that pompous little man ).

So a big bravo and laurel to anyone who can save just one pit and a dart to Michael Bryant and the rest of the lying Liberal gestapo.

Well, DEZ found a wonderful home, so I'm posting here again to refresh this thread in hopes that someone else may be able to help DION find a new home.

REFRESH

I am so glad you found a home for Dez he deserved it through no fault of anyones. But it makes me happy that he is now safe

Now my task is to help Sammiec find a home for this beauty....Why does Brampton only allow 3 dogs per household? I'd like to kick out all the humans and replace them with dogs.....

Mastiff...I'm so happy for DEZ too.

Dion is just beautiful! Do you know how she is with other animals?

twodogs, thanks for the "Happy Ending" story.

Lucky, since I'm local, when I have a minute, I'll give a call and see if I can find out any further info on this beauty. Maybe they'll have more now that they've obviously spent sometime getting to know her. I'm hoping when I call that I'm told she has gone to a forever home.

[sammiec]
