Our Featured Pet
BLUE
Blue has one of those thank-goodness-for-nosey-neighbors stories.
Blue was brought home by her family when she was just a puppy, less than two months old. However, because she was unable to “hold it” for eight hours during the day, she was quickly banished to the back yard, where she was tied to a BBQ grill with a leash.
Because there was a large gap between the fence and ground, Blue could have easily gotten out. But the neighbor’s offer to fix it at their own expense, so that Blue could at least roam free, was flatly refused. However, a nasty note left on their door convinced the family to do more, so she was “upgraded” to a chain tied to a stake in the ground– and there she remained without shelter or companionship, through sun, rain, or snow.
The neighbors soon bought her a dog house so she would at least have shelter.
Last Labor day her family was gone for the weekend, so Blue was brought inside and presumably crated while they were away.
When they returned, Blue was again banished to the back yard, only this time covered in her own feces, which she had laid in for more than a day.
Her compassionate neighbors bought her treats and toys, and implored her family to please let them take her and find her a new home – but they refused, again and again.
Now that the family has split up, they have finally agreed to allow Blue to be rehomed. At last!
Blue is currently living with five other dogs in the neighbor’s home; the only people who have ever really cared about her.
She is crate trained, and is not inclined to jump on the furniture unless prompted. She doesn’t jump on people either.
She doesn’t express much interest in toys or chew toys, but she loves playing tug-of-war with a rope. She’s such a strong little girl that she can pull her 86 lb foster brother around in the grass, and he’s twice her size.
She can be a little stubborn, but this is typical of dogs her breed (at least in our opinion).
She’s learning to walk on a leash, and she wants to greet everyone she meets along with way. She is also really coming out of her shell, and has shown herself to be an energetic and playful dog.
Blue has been vaccinated and spayed, and she is HW negative.
She is an American Pit Bull Terrier, probably pure-bred, but we don’t know for sure. She is just over 1 year old, and has a gorgeous champagne-colored coat with a white chest and points, and enormous bat-like ears.
Blue is ready for her forever home, but only the best will do. If you think you can provide Blue with the care, attention, and love she deserves, then please contact us soon. Greater Dallas inquiries only please.
THE REASON TO ADOPT:
The companionship of pets enriches our lives. When you have made the decision to introduce a pet into your life, ADOPT A DALLAS PET encourages you to only adopt from rescue. Every year millions of homeless pets are killed in our Nation's shelters. The actual number estimates range from 3 to 10 million each year, but as far as we are concerned, one single dog or cat is too many. Through accident or intention, more pets are born each year than there are available homes for them. By adopting a homeless pet, you will not only be saving a life, you will be making a difference.
BECOMING A PET GUARDIAN:
Deciding to add a pet to your family is a serious undertaking, and the decision should not be made impetuously. Most pets can be with you 10 to 20 years depending on the breed and health of the pet. ADOPT A DALLAS PET strongly encourages you to consider if such a long term commitment is right for you at this time. If so, we hope that we can assist you in finding a suitable match. If not, there will certainly be a better time in the future for you to share your life with a companion animal.
